Ep 25. Comparison is the thief of joy

This week, we started our episode with a mini mental dump. Fatima opens up about how she's been feeling and turning to overspending for instant gratification. Khadijah also shares her take on how overspending makes her feel and how she's been managing and practising self-control. The conversation then moves to both of us sharing how the year 2024 was transformative for us individually. We discuss how we stopped comparing ourselves to the timeline of others and finding contentment in where Allah has put us in life. The rest of the episode emphasizes how we can overcome “why not me” moments, block out silent whispers and overcoming the pressures of comparison. We also share the reminder of believing the decree of Allah and how to genuinely be happy for others in such times.
