Am I venting
 or backbiting?

Welcome to the Minds in Neutral Podcast! 💌

 

We all say “I’m just venting,” but sometimes it turns into something deeper. In this episode, we talk about the difference between letting things out and actually backbiting. As Muslims, we know how much our words matter and how easy it is to slip when we’re upset or trying to explain our side. We share how we’ve both struggled with this and what helped us find balance between being honest and still keeping our tongues clean. It’s a reminder for us first that Deen isn’t about being perfect, it’s about catching ourselves and trying to do better.

Imposter syndrome in your twenties

Welcome to the Minds in Neutral Podcast! 💌

 

You know that feeling when what you prayed for finally happens but you kinda panic instead of celebrate? We get it. In this episode, we talk about feeling unready, overwhelmed, and a little scared when blessings show up faster than our confidence. Through faith and tawakkul, we remind ourselves that Allah never gives without preparing you even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.

Should parents post their kids online, or is it an invasion of privacy?
