It’s a message to the boy who feels unseen, the one carrying more than he can say, the one trying to stay strong when no one notices.
You are admired, even from afar. You are not alone.
And you are becoming something beautiful.

Tune in for honest reflections,and the gentle nudge you didn’t know you needed.
Gratitude in Ramadan
Ramadan is more than just fasting—it’s a time for reflection, connection, and deep gratitude. In this episode of Sweet and Sour, we dive into the power of gratitude during this sacred month. How does gratitude shift our perspective? What are the little blessings we often overlook? And how can we make gratitude a habit beyond Ramadan?
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation filled with personal reflections, faith, and a little sweetness to carry you through the season.
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙🌙🌙 to all my beloved listeners, may Allah accept our fast as an act of worship🤲🏽💜
In this episode, we get real about skincare—the good, the bad, and the overhyped.
We share our personal skincare journeys, the struggles with acne, and the hard truth that no serum can outmatch your genes and hormones (especially for women).
We also break down the unrealistic beauty standards fueled by filters and Snapchat, reminding ourselves that flawless skin isn’t a measure of self-worth.
Tune in for honest conversations, lessons learned, and a little skincare wisdom beyond the marketing fluff!
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson is a refreshing, no-nonsense guide to living a meaningful life by carefully choosing what truly deserves your attention. Instead of chasing relentless positivity, Manson argues that embracing life’s struggles, limitations, and inevitable hardships leads to deeper happiness and fulfillment.
At its core, the book is about values—understanding that you have a limited number of “f*cks” to give, so you must allocate them wisely. He dismantles the toxic obsession with always being happy, urging readers to accept discomfort, failure, and even pain as necessary for growth.
Manson flips self-help clichés on their heads, asserting that:
• Happiness comes from solving problems, not avoiding them.
• Failure isn’t the enemy; it’s the foundation of success.
• Not everyone is special, and that’s okay.
• Certainty is an illusion, and doubt leads to wisdom.
• Death is the ultimate motivator—so live meaningfully.
Through blunt humor, real-life examples, and deep philosophical insights, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* isn’t about being indifferent; it’s about caring deeply about the right things—your relationships, values, and personal growth—while letting go of everything else.
