I always like to talk about how I got my grandpa's nose, the most distinctive nose in the family. Growing up, it bothered me in the way that it didn't look like the girls around me in its size and slope and shape. Today, however, I am aware of the fact that my nose is a tool for smelling, and to fixate on its curvature and way of being is to waste the precious time I have on this earth that could have been used for something much more important- like building the lego taj mahal.

low iman is something every Muslim has tasted, or will at some point in their life. What does it feel like and where does it come from?

you've no doubt at some point heard these words in school - 'critical thinking'. To some, it's triggering, but in the adult world, it's actually kind of sort of a teensy bit how you say... crucial.

you see people every day... I hope. How do you treat those people? What do you think of them? What would you do if they mistreated you? The idea of showing goodness to others for nothing in return has been misconstrued to mean that someone is weak in their character and is not able to stand up for themselves. But it does the very opposite, it shows strength and firmness in a person's character to respond with goodness. NEW EPISODE EVERY FRIDAY!

a 'best self' or the 'best version of yourself' is a thing that has recently been marketed ubiquitously on social media.

confidence baby- but not like you know it. Our society loves talking about the outside appearance of confidence, forgetting the inner work it takes to reach true self-confidence.

Why is everyone scared of doing good near-perfect work? Studies show perfectionism can lead to depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. But what if the way you've always thought about perfectionism was wrong? Perfectionism is not the devil, rather it's the way by which we go about implementing it that leads to our destruction. If used correctly, perfectionism can be the most beautiful thing. NEW EPISODE EVERY FRIDAY!
