When Your Mind Becomes the Barrier - How Muslim Women Can Break Resistance & Transform Their Health

Grab a pen and paper sis

So many Muslim women quietly carry the desire, hope and weight of wanting change; more energy, better routines, stronger bodies, calmer minds… while feeling stuck in the same patterns of fatigue, guilt, overwhelm and “I’ll start tomorrow.” This powerful episode goes deep into the hidden forces that shape our habits: the brain’s resistance to change, the emotional loops of motherhood, the internal scripting that holds us back, and the Islamic foundations that guide growth, resilience and action.

Drawing from the work of Dr. Daniel Amen, behavioural science (without the un-Islamic elements), and timeless Islamic teachings, this episode unpacks why your mind often fights the very change you’re making duʿā for and how to break that cycle in a way rooted in Qur’an, Sunnah and genuine self-respect.

You’ll explore the difference between comfort and clarity, intention and avoidance, stagnation and self-accountability, and remember that Allah subhana wata alaa asks us to change what is within ourselves long before transformation appears outwardly.

With gentle but honest questions, real mindset reframes, and actionable steps for Muslim mums and busy women, this episode is your invitation to reclaim discipline, consistency and strength, not by force, but by aligning your habits with your emaan and your values.

If you’ve struggled with procrastination, low energy, starting-and-stopping, or feeling trapped in survival mode, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and guide you to where you want to be.

And also I encourage you to join us in the Muslimah Wellness Membership where you can get that guidance and support.

A must-listen for any Muslim woman ready to stop delaying her wellbeing and finally step into the life she’s been praying for.
