Inspire with Araam Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:03:59 -0400 https://araamwellness.com en-us © 2026 Araam Wellness yes 25afbafe-f39f-5cf8-804e-9da1526b1d78 hiba@araamwellness.com Araam Wellness episodic false Inspire with Araam is the podcast for Muslim women breaking barriers.

Hosted by Hiba Anjum, founder of Araam Wellness, every episode is a real, unfiltered conversation with a woman who did something first, defied expectation, or built something from nothing. The best parts, the worst parts, what it cost, and what keeps her standing.

This is not a religious podcast. It is a wellness conversation grounded in real life first: burnout, ambition, identity, and the everyday practices that hold a life together. Every guest shares her mind, body, and soul non-negotiables and the one thing she wants you to take home.

New episodes every Tuesday.

From Araam Wellness, the wellness community for Muslim women. Learn more at araamwellness.com and follow along at @araamhq.

Her essays on the Muslim marriage market have been published by Al Jazeera and Insider, and her photo series The ISMs Project documents the ageism, racism, sexism, and colorism Muslim women run into while looking for a spouse.

In this episode, Nailah and Hiba get into the conversation Muslim women have in the group chat but rarely in public: the apps, the shame around admitting you are trying, the rejection nobody talks about, divorce, and the pressure to build your whole life around a husband who may or may not show up. Nailah shares how heartbreak turned into writing, what happens when the men she meets find her essays, the reader message that made a whole month worth it, and the advice she gives herself while living with uncertainty: create your own milestones, because "behind" is only measured against someone else's life. She also opens up for the first time about becoming a foster mom as a single Muslim woman, and why community service is the most fulfilling thing she has done.

Like every episode, we close with Nailah's mind, body, and soul non-negotiables and the one thing she wants you to take home. Stay until the end for an exclusive Araam Mind meditation, Listen When You're Feeling Stuck.

She has built an audience of nearly 300K across Instagram and TikTok by staying true to herself.

In the first episode of Inspire with Araam, Salma and Hiba talk about what it actually takes to show up authentically as a hijabi in the creator/fitness space: where that confidence came from, how she handles pushback and negative comments (yes, the block button counts), how she strives for more goals, and where she would be today if she had never taken the leap to do something different.
