  • Taking off the hijab

    salamu alaikum! this episode is about my perceptions and my experience regarding the hijab and wearing it. the premise is that we, as Muslims, were given obligations and responsibilities that should not be ignored or glossed over because of the state/norms of our society. at the same time, we are allowed to acknowledge the difficulties that exist and talk about them as it isn’t haram or bad to express our struggles. may Allah keep us all firm on this path. ameen.

    salaamu alaikum! this weeks episode is on the dangers and the hardships of living in a Godless society and how it can impact us at believers. i go into some videos that inspired me to make this episode and the whole diddy situation that is so gross and the epitome of what can happen when we live lives that are devoid of Allah. may Allah make and keep us firm, ameen.

    salaamu alaikum! this weeks episode is on why it is so important to be as conscious as possible as it informs every single aspect of our lives - physically, spiritually, mentally & emotionally. where we lack in one, we inadvertently lack in others. enjoy this episode and reach out for therapy inquiries/questions on my IG @soulsalena :)

  • Standing Firm as Muslims: speaking up against injustices
    salaamu alaikum! this week has 2 episodes as i felt i reallyyy had to let this out. i believe that we are an Ummah and part of our responsibility is to speak up for our oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine and other parts of the world. when the outside world tries to negate, limit, or control that, we need to stand firm in our identity and what we stand for even if we stand alone. may Allah always keep us firm ameen.

  • Generational Trauma goes DEEP
    salaamu alaikum! this weeks episode is a bit of a continuation of my last episode regarding therapy and healing work. i speak on the ways that it is truly a privilege to have all our basic needs met and have the time to think about and heal our trauma wounds. this is something our parents and grandparents likely didn’t have the ability to do. we should not take it for granted and do the work it takes to be better versions of ourselves for the sake of Allah and to serve Allahs creation as best as possible!! thank you for tuning in!
