On this episode, Asma’u and I discuss the in’s and out’s of selflove and social media. She was honestly the best possible partner for this topic being a content creator for 4 years, a feeler and ofcourse— a thinker.

We tell ourselves that we’re over it because we don’t think about it anymore, but that does not equate to healing. Truly letting go includes constantly revisiting a topic, as many times as you need to. And trying to learn lessons from situations that left you scarred. That’s okay. This is where I’ll be posting about the book I mentioned (In Shaa Allah)  I hope this episode was of benefit to you. L...

One thing I hear a lot from my family and friends these days is “I can’t believe that shy Karima I used to know is doing (so and so)” or remember when you couldn’t even do (so and so) and it reminds me of my growth!
