As Ramadhaan comes to an end, we’re left with more than justmemories of fasting, prayer and community — we’re left with a quieter, deeperquestion:   “Who did I become during this sacred month?”  Ramadhaan was never meant to be just a moment in time — itwas meant to shift something within us.    In this solo episode of Beyond This, Zaheerah explores aheartfelt reflection on Ramadhaan — the discipline, the spiritual connectionand the quiet transformation within. Because what comes next… depends on who we choose to beafter the month ends.Listen to the full episode on: YouTube: https://youtu.be/2PuCkHCY4AY  * The show is also available on Spotify and Apple Podcast. ‎ ZB

Episode 16: Beyond This by Zaheerah Bham Ismail 💼 Mental Health in the Workplace: Beyond “Get On With It” Workplace culture is evolving — but not fast enough. In our latest discussion with Kulani Shiluvane, we dive into mental health in workspaces and why it must be part of formal protocols not just an afterthought. 🌟 Key Takeaways: • How certain aspects of mental wellbeing are often ignored in workplace culture • Managing toxicity to reduce staff turnover and improve overall results • Knowing what’s appropriate to manage and when intervention is critical • Moving from reactive responses (burnout crises) to proactive mental health strategies • Addressing generational and cultural mindsets that normalize “hustle” or pushing through Your workplace can thrive only when people feel seen, supported, and safe — mental health is a protocol, not a privilege. #MentalHealthAtWork #WorkplaceWellbeing #Leadership #OrganizationalCulture #BeyondThisPodcast #zaheerahbhamismail #toxic #healthy #growth
