You cannot give and pour from an empty vessel.

When we continuously serve from a cup that is not being filled, we find ourselves withered and dry.

In this episode of Honest Tea Talk, we unpack the mistaken belief that we learn and subconsciously teach as women, that selflessness is a quality to be celebrated and something we inherit by nature. We discuss the damage that comes with taking care of others without taking care of yourself, and how leaving only crumbs for ourselves leaves us feeling crumbled and empty.

This episode reclaims the narrative and embraces self-care for what it is: an act of worship to Our Creator, Who entrusted us with caring for ourselves - mentally, physically and spiritually.

Watch the episode now to discover the steps we regularly take to fill our cups, and let's talk about prioritising you.

About Honest Tea Talk
with Aliyah, LaYinka & Sumayah

Inspired by Jada Pinkett-Smith's 'Red Table Talk', 3 Muslim women have set up a platform to speak openly and honestly, giving viewers an unedited insight into the minds and life of Muslim women. Honest Tea Talk brings deep and often unspoken topics to the table to lay down our masks and start much-needed discussions about matters related to Muslim women and the ummah at large.
