    From Burnout to Barakah: The Secret Key 🔐

    ✨ Muslim Girl Tea ✨ Hosted by Ramsha Suhail — therapist-trained educator, author of Submission: The Theory of Everything, and your big sister in faith. This is where high-achieving Muslim women pause with their chai, exhale, and remember: faith is your greatest superpower. Each episode blends Qur’an, mental health science, and real stories to help you regulate, surrender, and thrive with tawakkul. We believe barakah is not earned by exhaustion — it’s received by alignment. Together we spill the tea on what it really takes to glow with sakīnah, navigate burnout, and rise with resilience. Our North Star? The duʿā’ the Prophet ﷺ never left: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَىAllahumma inni as’aluka al-hudā wat-tuqa wal-‘afāfa wal-ghinā“O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency.”Because thriving isn’t about chasing harder — it’s about returning to Allah, making space for His whispers, and discovering the radiant woman you were created to be. DM me the word “REGULATE” to inquire about the Co-Regulation Sanctuary — Opening Soon, in sha Allah.

    The Neuroscience of Salah: How Prayer Relaxes Your Body and Opens Your Heart

    In this episode of Muslim Girl Tea, host Ramsha Suhail — therapist-trained educator, author, and your big sister in faith — unpacks how salah is more than ritual. It’s a built-in system for emotional regulation, nervous system healing, and heart-opening connection with Allah. You’ll learn how prayer activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol, and brings rest to the heart — just as the Qur’an and Sunnah have always promised. From sujūd increasing blood flow to the brain, to dhikr soothing the amygdala, you will learn how science beautifully confirms what faith has always taught. In this episode, we will cover: Why salah calms your nervous system and lowers stressThe heart–brain connection in sujūd and rukūʿQur’an (13:28, 29:45) and hadith on salah as comfort and strengthA simple breathing practice to try in sujūd todayWhy healing is sunnah, and salah is empowerment💌 Want to go deeper?

    Breaking Taboos Around Mental Health: Rigidity, Oversharing, and Regulation

    Breaking Taboos Around Mental Health: Rigidity, Oversharing, and Regulation Confession: growing up in a Pakistani immigrant household, mental health wasn’t just ignored — it was hush hush. I didn’t even know what therapy really was until I was 26, when my husband introduced me to the idea. That moment changed everything: it led me to go back to school for my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and realize how much silence we carry as Muslim girls. In this episode of Muslim Girl Tea, I unpack how trauma shapes the way we communicate in friendships and relationships — and why breaking the cycle starts with breaking the taboo. Together we’ll sip on: Why rigidity (shutting down, heart closed) feels safe but deepens isolation.How oversharing (no boundaries, everything open) leaves us exposed and drained.What regulation (healing, balance, healthy boundaries) looks like — in both psychology and Islam.How the Prophet ﷺ modeled balance and acknowledged pain with gentleness (Qur’an 3:159, Bukhari).The science behind regulation: naming emotions reduces amygdala reactivity and builds resilience (Lieberman et al., Science, 2007).Why seeking therapy is not weakness — it’s sunnah to seek healing, as the Prophet ﷺ said: “Seek treatment, O servants of Allah, for Allah has not created a disease except that He has also created its cure” (Sunan Abu Dawud 3855).This episode is a reminder that healing is not taboo, it’s prophetic. Therapy is one of the means Allah has placed for us. 📖 References Mentioned: Qur’an 2:143; Qur’an 3:159; Qur’an 10:57Bukhari: Prophet ﷺ weeping at his son’s deathSunan Abu Dawud 3855: Seek treatment…Gross, J.
