Out Loud Reflections

Today I read Garden of the Soul from Rumi’s little book of life translated by Maryam Mafi and Azima Melita Kolin.

A short episode. I read an interesting page from A handful of stars by Ruby Dhal.

We seriously laughed throughout the episode. It was such a mood booster. We kept it a 100%, we went deep, we made lots of jokes. Enjoy our 1.1m followers xo

Yo! I poured my heart out on this one fresh after I watched American skin. The movie is so powerful and poetic. I was left with different thoughts and emotions. I shared the timeline of my black identity throughout my years. I kept it raw. Would love to hear from you!

Hey, back again after a while. I tried to share with you guys why I think you should never say to anyone under any circumstances for whatever reason that they’re too much. Don’t do it. Swallow that thought and move on with your life or find better ways to express your feelings.

We ARE Back !! Hey everyone, we went deep with Sumi about the Ramadan which just left us with a lingering fresh taste. We talked about what personal meanings we attach to it, how food contributes to spiritual elevation? (for better or worse), In what state we received this Ramadan and in what state it left us 😢 and wrapped it with how we plan to continue with the good habits we formed during it. We got sidetracked for a bit when social media and our hiatus from it was mentioned tho 😅 hope you enjoy! 😚

I whispered to you about my history with Ramadan, my 100 days IG Live journey, why social media is like pornography.. hope you enjoy

We started with how we described freedom and the types of it. We discussed the importance of it. We then flipped it and talked about how total freedom can be dangerous and how limits and constraints are necessary. However, that creates a sense of feeling caged or cornered by the people you love. So how do you navigate? Where do you strike the balance? We finished it up with how to break away from the psychological prison and find oneself. Please note that none of us professionals here. We’re speaking from experience and really most of the times it’s our two cents 💁🏽‍♀️ approach with caution and do let us know what you think.

We discussed about what forgiveness means to us, about self forgiveness and why we need to do it, if we have ever forgiven someone who doesn’t deserve it or didn’t ask for an apology and if there really are unforgivable deeds. It was a very interesting podcast which started with something completely unrelated though. Enjoy 😄 p.s. we finally remembered to take an video call selfie but we gotta live with the cropped picture for now .. we’ll take a better one which fits the cropping ratio of the album cover next time.. besides this is a podcast and not really related to the album covers anyway :/

In this episode, we discussed about what love means to us, the types of love, source of love, the nature of love, if love could be unconditional. We talked a whole lot about self love and what we thought about love. How we approached it when we were younger. We dove deep and we were full of love at the end of the episode. Love is truly magical and it's a force which can't be explained in one episode! It is pure and it is truly freeing. We do encourage you to love more. We love you for listening to our podcast and for reaching out to us. Enjoy and Let us know what you think! :)

N.B. Sumi is not in the episode cover picture :D ( Sumi we need to take a picture!)
