As Ramadan begins to draw to a close, many of us find ourselves reflecting with mixed emotions — gratitude, exhaustion, and sometimes guilt. Maybe the goals we set weren’t fully met. Maybe life got in the way. And now the thought creeps in: Did I waste this Ramadan?

In this episode, we have an honest conversation with Fatima Auwal Shehu about dealing with that feeling of “not doing enough,” overcoming guilt, and finding motivation in the final days of the month.

We explore how to shift from regret to hope, why it’s never too late to return to Allah, and how even one sincere moment of worship can transform your Ramadan.

Because as long as the month hasn’t ended, the door of mercy is still wide open.

How many of us pray… but feel nothing?

In this episode of our Ramadan series, we explore how salah can move from routine to relationship. Joined by Fatima Auwal Shehu, we have an honest conversation about distraction, spiritual autopilot, and what it really means to stand before Allah with presence.

Why do we rush through prayer?

How do we build khushoo’?

And how can salah become a real, personal conversation instead of just a daily task?

If you’ve ever struggled to feel connected in prayer, this episode will remind you that it’s not about perfection — it’s about intention, understanding, and returning with sincerity.

Let’s rediscover the beauty of meeting Allah five times a day.

Ramadan is more than a month of fasting , it’s a divine invitation to reset, realign, and return.

In the first episode of our Ramadan series, we begin by asking an honest question: Are we entering this month prepared… or just present?

Joined by Fatima Auwal Shehu, we explore the importance of intention, spiritual preparation, and what it truly means to approach Ramadan with purpose. How do we move beyond routines and cultural habits? How do we prepare our hearts — not just our schedules?

This conversation dives into:

• Setting sincere intentions (niyyah)

• Letting go of spiritual distractions

• Preparing your heart before the first fast

• Shifting from performance to presence

• Entering Ramadan with clarity and vision

If you’ve ever felt like Ramadan passes by too quickly, or you struggle to maintain momentum throughout the month, this episode is your spiritual reset.

Because transformation doesn’t begin on the first day of fasting — it begins with intention.

May this episode help you step into Ramadan with purpose, depth, and sincerity.

We close out Creatives Month with an inspiring conversation with fictional writer Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, one of Northern Nigeria’s most respected literary voices.

In this final episode, Abubakar opens up about self-doubt, how and when he started writing, and the alternative paths he might have taken if writing wasn’t his calling. We explore the big question: is writing nature or nurture? and he shares immersive advice on balancing real life with creative work.

We also dive into Northern Nigerian storytelling, why many writers stay local as a cultural choice, how to break free from creative limitations, and why Northerners often allow others to tell their stories.

To wrap things up, Abubakar tells us what he’s currently reading and loving, and leaves creatives with a powerful reminder: believe in yourself.

This is the final episode of our Creatives Month series — and a perfect note to end on.

In this solo episode of HerSpace, Rabia Aneesa Idrees steps into the mic to share her own creative journey through what she calls a “squiggly career.” From childhood dreams to adult guilt, she reflects on why changing paths isn’t failure, it’s becoming. This episode is an invitation to let go of pressure, embrace curiosity, and learn how to create a purposeful life without guilt.

You know what time of the year it is on HerSpace Podcast ✨

It’s Creatives Month, and we’re kicking off the year with Hajara Habib, a female photographer building a powerful, female-led brand.

In this episode, Hajara reminds us of one essential truth: there’s always a human behind the aesthetics. This conversation taught me so much, and I hope every creative listening feels inspired to trust themselves, their vision, and their craft.

This episode has my heart, as it captures the very essence of HerSpace. I’m joined by Coach Baraatu Nasidi for a heartfelt conversation on strengthening the bond between mothers and daughters. Together, we explore what connection looks like during the teenage years, how turbulent mother–daughter relationships can resurface in adulthood, and ways to nurture closeness between adult daughters and their aging mothers. This is one of those soul-touching conversations that lingers, and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed sharing it.
