What’s Coming This Episode?

The subject of faith crops up a lot during our conversations. Mindfulness ins’t quite a recognised religion yet buy perhaps that’s for the best given the rough ride that Islam has had of late. We thought it was time we learnt more about what it really means to be a practicing Muslim in the 21st century.

Huge thanks to friend of the show Rahmen for his huge input this week. So much to learn from and digest (spoiler – it turns out we can all learn a lot from what Islam stands for). This one is an epic…

Enjoy the show, it’s The Self Help Podcast!
