Ngunit maklaipas ng maraming mga taon ng paghahanap sa sarili at pagmuni-muni, si Aaliyah Yco ay tuluyang nagpalit ng pananampalataya sa Islam. "This is not about religion. This is about what resonated to my identity," ang sabi niya.
Ang kanyang landas mula sa paghahanap ng sarili hanggang sa makaranas ng karahasan sa tahanan, at iba pang pangyayari sa buhay ay nagbago sa kanyang pananaw sa buhay at naging daan upang pasukin niya ang transformational at empowerment life coaching.

When I found that out, I realised that it's not because he's such a bad person, but it was something that was chemically imbalance within him that he was also not aware of. But at the same time that it was also a a struggle for him to manage, and so, by that time, I thought that I had to look after myself from hereon 'coz I have four children as well. The right decision was to remove myself from that," pagbabahagi ni Aaliyah.
