Why does money take up mental space?
Even when you're doing well
Assalamu Alaikum girlie🌺
Let me ask you something.
How often do you catch yourself thinking about money?
Not actively doing anything.
Just… thinking.
On your commute.
Between meetings.
Right before bed.
Little check-ins like:
“I really need to sit down get organized.”
“How well am I doing for my age?”
“What halal investments should I be investing in right now?”
Muslim girlies who are working hard and handling their responsibilities experience this all the time. On paper, things look fine. But mentally? Money takes up space & time than it should.
Americans spend ~4hrs a day quietly thinking about money. That’s over 1460 hours a year! That’s 2 WHOLE months girl.
Two months that could’ve been spent between sleeping, reading the Qur’an, learning something new, catching up with family, or simply wondering in peace.
And this is because there’s no clear system that handles the things you’re worrying about.
So everything requires mental effort.

Every decision feels like:
“Shouldn’t I saving more?”
“I like the item but I could’ve saved that extra $200”
“Am I behind or ahead?”
Nothing is urgent, but nothing feels settled either.
So you tell yourself, “I’ll figure this out later, Inshaa Allah.”
But later keeps getting pushed… a week goes by, then a few months, then a year. You’re still carrying the silent anxiety.
Here’s what most people don’t realize:
A good money system doesn’t take more time.
It gives time back.
That’s what the January Financial Reset is designed to do.
It’s a 90-minute session created to help you stop overthinking money and start living with peace and clarity.
In 90-minutes, we’ll:
Map out your full financial picture so you actually know where you stand
Build a simple money system that fits your real life
Identify ONE clear priority that moves your financial life forward
You’ll leave knowing what matters, what’s handled, and what can wait.
No more mental loops.
No more background stress.
No more spending precious your time worrying about money for hours on end.
Imagine getting back those 1,460 hours.
Imagine money being something you check in on, not something that haunts you when you’re trying to do other fun things.
That’s the goal.
Confidence. More time. More peace Inshaa Allah.
Spots are limited and only available this month!
Let this be the month you spend 90mins wisely to save 2 months that would’ve been wasted worrying!
Talk soon Inshaa Allah,
Fatimah
