Discussions include Islamic teachings that implore self-love, how over-extending ourselves is unIslamic as it is a detriment to our health (mind, body, and soul), the abandonment of women's health in today's world, and self-reflection being a means to better health.

Nadir is a close friend and also an accomplished young man - a presenter, filmmaker and producer from London with Yemeni, Indonesian, Pakistani and Kenyan heritage. He was chosen as an ambassador for the YouTube Creators for Change programme, Nike Ambassador and voted by ES Magazine as one of the most influential Londoners. His work articulates the unique experience of children of the diaspora. We explore the importance of being connected to our inner knowing (and what happens when we are not!) and whether mindfulness is a new age, modern thing that only yogis and zen people do.
