Is your heart telling you to strongly pursue something? Is your intuition telling you to tread lightly? We're told to listen to logic and reason to get through difficult situations. We're told that emotions cloud judgement and make it difficult to see a situation clearly. But sometimes, we need to just say "fuck logic" and tune in to what your heart and soul really want. Maybe what your heart wants is good for you. Maybe it's not. But, it's important to recognize that your heart is screaming at you for a reason. Your intuition is trying to show you something for a reason. So, listen. In this episode, I dissect a current difficult, messy situation I'm in and emphasize upon the fact that it's ok not to be ok. As I'm sitting with this situation right now and moving through something extremely emotional, I'm learning that in order to regain control of myself, I have to let go of what I can't control. If you're feeling like your emotions are negatively taking control over your body, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening! 

When we aren’t feeling well or need an extra boost of energy, we’re so quick to pop a pill or drink an energy drink. As humans, we look for that one thing that brings about immediate relief. Most of the time, though, the solution is simple. Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating well? Are you supplying yourself with the macronutrients your body NEEDS every single day to perform optimally? Are you drinking enough water? Food is medicine, and living a healthy style is the answer to being and feeling like the best version of yourself every day. In this episode, I explain the basics of eating a balanced diet. If you’re looking to taste the rainbow and invite more creative recipes into your life, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Happy Listening!

Being motivated is easy when everything is going well. On the other hand, LOSING motivation is easy when you’re losing momentum. In order to achieve our goals, we need to create a clear objective. What is it you WANT to achieve? What is it you WANT to manifest? Understanding your “why” during moments of self doubt and moments of little motivation is what will help you regenerate your drive and desire to succeed. In this episode, I share about the lull I’m in and ways to kick yourself back into full gear if you’re feeling stuck. Learn to tap into your self discipline when motivation is lacking in order to bounce back from failures and thoughts of self doubt. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! Happy Listening!

With the hustle and bustle of our normal day to day lives, it’s easy to just go through the motions. We get into the habit of doing things we THINK we NEED to do while often neglecting the things we KNOW we WANT to do. In this episode, I discuss various ways you can improve upon every aspect of your life simply by removing any person or activity from your life that doesn’t serve a positive purpose. It’s time we started focusing on the things we genuinely want to do every single day in order to live a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

As time in quarantine drags on, it becomes easier to feel stuck; it becomes easier to look at everything you DON’T have and everything you COULD be doing if only everything was back to normal. When we feel low or lost, we tend to dwell in the past or generate unnecessary anxiety worrying about what may or may not become of the future. The reality is, no matter how much you think of the past and the future, nothing will change. What happened happened and what will become will become. In this episode, my best friend Sofia, my sister Dunya, and I talk about our individual experiences and mental battles with being stuck in quarantine and stuck in our own minds. It’s time for you to let go of what you can’t control, so you feel safe in your home, safe in your body, and safe in your mind. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

It’s easy to get accustomed to a routine so much so that it becomes mind numbing. We live most days just going through the motions and doing whatever it takes to get by. As the days in quarantine drag on, it’s easy to get lost in your mind, trapped in your thoughts, and suffocated being forced to stay home all day. To feel less stuck and helpless, I encourage you to be more mindful with everything that you do. Invite breath and consciousness into your actions to feel more present. In this episode, I talk about my current struggles and realizations, and how I’m making a conscious effort to feel like I’m ALIVE rather than feel like I’m just living. If this quarantine is getting to you, or if you just have a problem being mindful in everything or anything that you do, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening, and stay safe, lovelies!

As we approach week god knows what of quarantine, many of us are starting to feel suffocated, trapped, antsy, anxious, or depressed. For the first time, there are not many ways to physically escape and no where to run away. Not only are most of us trapped within the confines of our homes, but many of us are starting to feel trapped within the confines of our minds. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and co-worker, Kelsey, and we explore how quarantine is having both a positive and negative effect on body image, mental health, and mind body connection. If you’re currently struggling with finding your sense of purpose, staying mindful, keeping a body positive mindset, and exploring self discovery during this difficult time, then this episode is for you. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Happy Listening!

When everything seems normal, we attribute our success to money, wealth, material items, and status. Our society is founded upon having more, being the best, and rising to the top in order to achieve “ultimate” happiness. But now, for the first time in a long time, life as we know it is on hold. Right now, you’re not being judged on your success, money, wealth, material items, or status. Right now, all every single one of us has at the end of the day is our health. We can have all the money in the world and a beautiful roof over our heads, but without our health we are useless creatures. Take this time to take CARE of both your body AND your mind. For the first time in a long time, we are being forced to channel our focus inward in the comfort of our homes with no where to go. Our mental strength is being challenged, our usual fitness regiments are put on hold. If you’re currently feeling like your mind and your body are two separate entities right, then this episode is for you. It’s time to regroup, and do what you can to stay physically and mentally healthy during this difficult time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. Stay safe, everyone! Happy Listening!
