So I had a couple calls this week and a couple of live sessions and the different programs that we're doing.

And it's pretty clear a lot of us out there are lonely right now.

We're feeling really, really kind of isolated, disconnected from ourselves, from the community, from Allah.

And it's really that like one of those things.

Like I mentioned this in the free class I did before

Ramadan one of the three things that really can sabotage our Ramadan which is our emotions

there's strong feelings of sadness those strong feelings of loneliness those are things we

cannot for a second guys ignore because they're the things that can just topple all of our goals and

well wishes and high hopes for Ramadan but no worries we're not going to let that happen to you

the first step is to be conscious of it so here you are listening to the podcast we're going to help

you get some ideas of what you can do if that's what you're feeling, let's get into it.

Hello, Sama'aikum. Thank you for joining us here at the mindful Muslim Speaks podcast. your host, Mindful Muslima, and I am here again to talk to you about what is going on in the community. Many of you guys know we have so many programs going on. A lot of you joined us in Thrive. Shout out to all the Thrive Women. You're in Ramadan recharge. Shout out to you, the sisters in there. And subhannula, we've been meeting weekly in lives during old Ramadan so these

women are not alone and the irony is though even though if we meet as women and we do that a lot of

women have said they feel so much less alone however i do want to throw out there even if even if you're

in a group in a in a mosque or in classes or you're doing some like online following of

something on youtube or instagram you can still feel alone with yourself like within yourself or like

when you click off of those things you might feel like great for a second because you're with those

people but then like what when you walk away what happens then and that's something I want us to

recognize that that is something I want us to recognize that

that is something that we have to do something about because those feelings if they get too

strong can ruin our Ramadan and put us in a really deep dark place and not let us reach our

goals. And so today what we're going to be talking about is how to combat that loneliness.
