2022 Social Media Reflections (Cancel Culture, Repercussions on the Youth, "Productivity" )

Imposter Syndrome, Creative Blocks and the Societal Concept of"Consistency"

Greetings of peace :)

It's been a hot minute since I haven't recorded and this was partly due to what I mentioned in this podcast.  Imposter Syndrome, Quality over Quantity, Content Creation, and all other concepts will be discussed in this episode! Literally is it normal that we constantly underestimate how qualified we are in many spheres of our lives ?! We are bombarded with this notion of consistency, but what is consistency truly about? Should we be following these gurus' regiments and interpretations of "consistency"?? I find this idea quite problematic and can stifle creativity and cause creative blocks. 

Anyway enough said, hope y'all enjoy

Self-Assessment & The Building Blocks For Veritable & Sustainable Change

Peace be upon you all and welcome back to another episode!
 
 I am your host Dimalya and on this podcast, Supiriyor Intellekt we question the questionable in terms of all spheres of human interactions in our lives, be it deen (Islam), contemporary societal conventions, relationships, and much more.
 
In today's episode, we will be discussing the importance of Self-Assessment and how it can make our break our ability to strive for better.
 
 A few points we'll touch on are

• Our obsession with ascension, always wanting to make progress, always going up
• Consciousness & Remembrance (Dhikr / Zikr) of our Creator and the Original source of all things
• The power of Kun (divine decree)
• Breaking down the helpful/toxic sentence “what can I do today”
• The importance of tackling your strengths and weaknesses in Self Assessment
• Unlearning your own preconceptions towards yourself
• Cause and Effect 

A little glossary for the words you might not be familiar with, as they are in Arabic and not everyone comprehends these terms

Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala (SWT):  “May He be praised and exalted” or more simply put that all praises are for him alone.
Alhamdulillah: praise be to God
Mashallah:  what God has willed
InshaAllah: if Allah wills it.
Bi Ithnillah: by Allah’s will

Hope this helps.

Sending you peace and blessings

2022 Social Media Reflections pt 2 ( Relationships, Disordered Eating, Envy, Islamic Info Overload)

PART 2 + NEW GUEST Gigi ft Amina & Nazraa ♡
PEACE BE UPON ALL OF YOU
*Trigger warning* we will be talking about eating disorders, body dysmorphia, disordered eating, mental health conditions, substance abuse, traumatic relationships*

In this episode, we continue our discussion on how being children of immigrants affects our relationship with social media. We delve into some other facets that are connected to our use of these platforms such as eating disorders (Brandy Melville), pyramid schemes (Herbalife), Islamic information overload (which sheikhs / sheikhas,  ustadhs / ustadhas to follow? ). Do we see ourselves as producers/consumers on social media? Does it attract the evil eye, envy? Lastly, we talk about relationships and of course balancing all of this as Young Muslim Women.

So prepare to take part in a conversation with Me Dimalya, Nazraa Amina, and Gigi. We all had different journeys with these platforms. Me being on my second-year long break, (and now back on socials ), Nazraa is still on these platforms, Amina has not been on a single one of them for more than 5 years and Gigi periodically balances the use of platforms.

So without keeping you any longer, my guests are gonna introduce themselves, I’m sure you guys will LOVE this.

Hope you enjoy! May this episode be beneficial, God willing.

2022 Social Media Reflections (Cancel Culture, Repercussions on the Youth, "Productivity" )

Whew!! What can I Say, AIl praise to the Highest so glad to be back !!

Join us, Nazraa, Amina, and I, in our first episode of a 3 part series titled social media reflections. In this series, we delve into the different ways we see social media. What’s great about both guests is that we don't all share the same points of view and reservations which makes it all the more engaging! We all have had different stories, relationships, and experiences with Snapchat, Instagram, Youtube Facebook, and all of the above. However all of our stories, yet so different, find a way to intersect each other seamlessly. We talk about how easily accessible social media is for the youth and its repercussions, how it affected us growing up with it, (high school days), and basically how we try to maintain a healthy relationship with it. Nazraa currently still uses these platforms, Amina not using them at all, and for me well... it's complicated. Cancel culture was a huge topic in this episode as well. 

Not gonna spill too much, you’ll get it on the episode! 

Also, we mentioned in this episode the tragic Bronx fire that claimed the lives of our brothers/ sisters, some as young as 2!  Praise be to Allah, may their soul rest in perfect peace and May Jannah tul Firdaus be their eternal abode, Ameen. Here are some links that may help if you want to donate!
