Have you been carrying the weight of "spiritual excellence" that feels more like perfection than peace? 

This episode reveals how this beautiful Islamic teaching has been distorted through cultural lenses into perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional suppression. This misapplication has created generations of Muslims, especially women, who confuse being spiritually elevated with being emotionally suppressed. When sacred teachings become tools for spiritual bypassing, we lose connection to both ourselves and our Creator.

What would change if you reclaimed Ihsan as a practice that honors both divine wisdom and your personal dignity? Listen to discover how spiritual excellence can become a source of nourishment rather than depletion, aligning with your soul rather than your trauma responses. Join us in building a version of faith that makes you not just a "bigger person," but a truer one.
