Do you identify as an empath and have found yourself repeatedly being wounded by people? Navigating relationships is one of the biggest challenges for the empath. Not because there's something wrong with you, but because there are truths you haven't understood about yourself and your interaction with people. The world isn't designed for someone with a sensitive heart like yours.

In this episode I discuss the challenges empaths face in dealing with people, including naivety, disappointment in others, codependency, the tendency to over-give, and the importance of embracing sensitivity as a strength. I talk about the need for boundaries and self-awareness to protect your emotional well-being while encouraging empaths to recognize their unique light in a world that often lacks empathy.

These are the truths that I've had to learn through disappointment, heartbreak and pain in 33yrs and which I hope will empower you today.

In this authentic and raw conversation, I am joined by my dear friend Ruwaida Dohry as we explore the journey of rebuilding yourself after trauma. We discuss the importance of a strong spiritual foundation in the healing journey, turning to Allah (SWT), practical steps for holistic healing and the role of community support. Ruwaida shares her personal experiences and insights on how to navigate the challenges of trauma, emphasizing the significance of self-care, patience, and the power of positive thinking. We touch on the topic of post-traumatic growth and how our deep connection to Allah (SWT) facilitated us to get there. If you're struggling in your own healing journey, tune in for an empowering message of hope and encouragement. Remember, you are not alone and with Allah (SWT) by your side, you will heal and thrive.

"The morning and evening adhkār play the role of a shield; the thicker it is, the more its owner is protected. Rather, its strength can reach to such an extent that the arrow shot at it will bounce back to affect the one who shot it." (Ibn al-Qayyim)

I hope this recording helps you learn the adhkaar and make it part of your daily routine.

The benefits of reciting the morning and evening adhkaar are many.

1. It is a form of worship to Allah.
2. It is a protection for us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It protects us from hidden and apparent evils from jinn and mankind, magic, adversity, and temptations. It alleviates anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, evil eye and unlocks blocked blessings.
3. Remembrance of Allah is the tool that purifies the heart.
4. It is a practice that increases closeness to Allah.

6. It is a form of duaa, asking Allah for protection, forgiveness, and blessings.
