Today's Note
The problem is never prayer
One of the biggest issues that I talk about that resonates with so many women is disconnected prayer. This might show up as not praying at all, irregular prayer, or prayer that feels numb and robotic.
But in pretty much all of the conversations I have with women about this, it emerges that prayer itself is not the issue. There is always something else – something that is weighing heavy.
And so, that’s where our work starts. To create space for that journey back to salah.
