Most of us, after actively trying to better ourselves, whether it be through psychologist consultations, ghosting off social media, or reading self-help books, “perceive” ourselves as changed people. The thing is, we live in our own little bubble so we are aware of what we’re doing to better ourselves. However, it’s hard for us to discern if other people do that too. This episode is not to encourage you to give a pass to anyone who has truly hurt you in the past. Rather it is for you to observe, to be more mindful of your choices in terms of the people you categorically refuse to let back in and those who despite how they hurt you, still have a place in your life...

Throughout the episode, you will realize that there are always two sides to a coin. Always make sure to try to evaluate the whole situation, whether it is an ongoing conflict in the present, or reevaluating your past relationships.

The benefit of the doubt is also an important point in today’s episode. Try your best to see the good in people unless it’s clear to do otherwise. Be careful! Don’t be too naive either.

There is a common societal convention that in order to be successful you have to suffer beforehand. We too often get caught up in dreaming of the destination will torturing ourselves during the journey.  That being said, journeys are not linear trajectories where you perpetually elevate! You will inevitably have some bumps along the way. 

In this episode, Rumaysaa and I share our definitions and experiences on Toxic Productivity, Procrastination Guilt, Success & Burnout. We delve into how it manifests itself in our lives and the ways we try to overcome it. 


I hope this helps anyone who's going thru it at the moment.

Friendship is a beautiful and meaningful part of your life  when both parties genuinely have love and respect for each other. However negative and unfruitful friendships can be the source of mental unrest, low self-esteem, and exhaustion.

How many times do we genuinely ask ourselves whether the people in our lives SHOULD be there in the first place? How many times do we completely disregard our emotions and still continue to entertain people who are hindering our self-growth? How many times do you put yourself in situations that compromise your deen?

Outgrowing a friendship does not automatically translate into ending that friendship buuuut, if that relationship does you more harm than good + conforms to more than 5 of these signs... you should definitely evaluate that friendship!


As always I appreciate all of your feedback.

Jealousy is a normal human emotion.

Sometimes Jealousy can be super helpful, it can motivate you to get better grades, push yourself to greater limits. However, on the flip side, jealousy can also be detrimental to your mental health and affects you more than anything.

In this episode, I discuss a theory of jealousy my friend and I formulated over the summer in terms of the different categories of jealousy!

We divide them into productive and detrimental jealousy.

Do you constantly feel like YOU are the one responsible for the time you're wasting on social media?  Do you find yourself scrolling mercilessly on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube or Facebook? Or the best one, do you think you're lacking discipline because you're doing all of the above?

Well, let me just tell you that no, it is not 100% percent your fault. Literally, scientists/ psychologists and other professionals are paid heaps of money to keep you hooked on their platforms. You are just one amongst many who fell into the toxic cycle of social media overconsumption.

In this episode, I am giving you a little backstory on my social media journey, when it started, sorta ended... then restarted again.  This is also a mini-series I am doing on the realm of social media and how it can take a toll on our lives. However, I will go in-depth on other aspects that are products/repercussions of social media in our lives in future episodes,

**Little sneak-peek, on the next episode, I will touch on social media and how it affected by body image.

Are you constantly dwelling on the past, or are you more the type of person to be anxious about the future? Needless to say, we are all human so it is part and parcel of us. However, if we let these dictate our internal dialogue, we're up for a long ride.


The keywords of this episode are gratitude and mindfulness. Eventually, I will share how I personally try to be more mindful, but this episode is more of a talk/ramble just to get your mind thinking.

You can find me on Pinterest @Dimalyaa , where I enjoy posting the quotes/ content that helps me get through it sometimes + my own content.

Hope you enjoy !

It is sometimes hard to come to terms with the fact that we strive for others' approval. This episode delves into the 7 top people pleaser traits, accompanied with some advice to break free from the vicious cycle of codependency or people-pleasing.

Everything starts somewhere, and that somewhere might not be perfect. And it is okay.
