(1/2) Ramadan for the Overwhelmed Soul

from She Should Know · host Sarah Hemeida & Sarah Ahmed

This Ramadan feels different. We are not entering it light and carefree . We are arriving burdened. Carrying grief from what we’re witnessing around the world. Carrying political tension, social unrest, community fractures, private anxieties, and the quiet exhaustion of simply trying to stay faithful in heavy times.In this episode, we talk about what it means to fast when your heart already feels worn out. How do we show up to worship when we’re mentally drained? How do we hold space for global pain while still tending to our own souls? Is it possible that Ramadan was designed precisely for moments like this?This conversation is for the tired believer. The overwhelmed mother. The activist trying not to burn out. The woman scrolling through headlines before suhoor. The one who feels both spiritually hungry and emotionally depleted.Ramadan isn’t asking you to pretend you’re not heavy. It’s inviting you to bring that heaviness to Allah.Let’s talk about how.Text to get in touch!Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe and share!
