In this raw and honest episode, Ekram Ibrahim unpacks what happens when we ignore our inner truth. She explores the hidden signs of emotional stagnation — from chronic procrastination to physical illness — and how our relationships, environments, and unspoken wounds can block our vitality.

Through personal stories and deep reflections, Ekram invites you to look beneath the surface:
What are you really avoiding?
Who are you shrinking for?
And what might your body be trying to say?

This episode is a call to come home to yourself — even if that means letting go of people, patterns, or identities that no longer serve you.
