Episode 18 - Big back activities gone wrong !

When I became a hijabi, I never expected my relationship with my body to shift so much. Between changing routines, finding comfort in looser clothing, emotional eating, and one too many takeaways, I slowly became disconnected from my health without fully noticing it. Now, the dress that used to fit perfectly is telling a different story. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about body changes, comfort culture, and how easy it is to lose touch with yourself when life transitions happen. This is a candid conversation about reclaiming balance, rebuilding body awareness, and admitting that maybe…the comfort era got a little too comfortable.

Episode 17 - Reclaiming Peace

This episode is a raw reflection on what it feels like to fall back into habits you once prayed to be free from. The guilt, the disappointment, the quiet frustration of knowing where you were spiritually… and where you are now. “Reclaiming Peace” is about confronting that inner conflict without running from it, acknowledging the setbacks, the distractions, and the moments of weakness, while holding onto the hope that growth isn’t linear. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve let yourself down spiritually, this conversation is for you. Because peace isn’t lost forever, it’s something you can return to, rebuild, and reclaim, one sincere step at a time.

Episode 16 - Navigating western working culture as a Muslim

Episode 15 - Jealousy unseen : “My friends success threatens me”

Have you ever been jealous of a friend? When someone close to you starts living the life you once dreamed of the opportunities, the wins, the “everything just falling into place” — it can bring up emotions we don’t always feel proud to admit. In this week’s episode, we’re getting real about friendship dynamics: the comparison, the quiet jealousy, and the internal battles that come with it. We also touch on the darker sides of friendship manipulation, blackmail, and what happens when things start to break down. This is an honest conversation about navigating those feelings, protecting your peace, and knowing when to hold on… or let go. If you’ve ever struggled with complicated emotions in your friendships, this one is for you.

Episode 14 - The Eid Frenzy… from Spiritual Highs to Outfit Lows

Eid Mubarak 🤍✨ How has Ramadan finished so fast ! The gratitude, the honesty, and that quiet question of how we carry this energy forward. But let’s be real… Eid prep is not for the weak 😭 From running around last minute to the Eid abaya struggle, high prices, limited options, and not finding something that truly feels right. Because why is everything so expensive… and still not giving what it’s supposed to give?! May Allah accept all our عبادات and allow us to carry the beauty of Ramadan into the rest of the year. Ameen 🤲🏾

We’re diving into grief through the lens of avoidant person. What happens when your natural instinct is to withdraw instead of express? When you convince yourself you’re “fine” while everything inside feels heavy? Whether you’re grieving a person, or a version of yourself, this conversation creates space for honesty especially for those who struggle to let others in. You don’t have to navigate it alone. 🤍

I’m backkkk 😭 and when I say life has been chaotic???

Yeah let’s get into it. And please… why do solo trips turn into group holidays without your permission?? It’s giving drama. It’s giving growth. It’s giving “I need to process this out loud.”
