🎙️ What I'm Not Doing This Ramadan: Why Less is Truly More
This Ramadan, I’m breaking the cycle of endless goals and spiritual burnout. Instead of chasing 30-day challenges or elaborate iftar spreads, I’m simplifying my worship—and my connection with Allah (SWT) has never been deeper.
In this episode, I’ll share:
✨ Why doing less this Ramadan leads to more spiritual growth
✨ The 3 major things I’ve eliminated—social media challenges, complicated meal plans, and overambitious goals
✨ Simple, mindful practices I’m adding to nurture my faithYou’ll also hear my personal story of Ramadan overwhelm and how shifting from a “spiritual Olympics” mindset to a “rooted in worship” approach brought me peace and clarity.
This episode is perfect for you if you’re feeling exhausted by Ramadan hustle culture and ready to experience the month with intention, simplicity, and joy.
