Pushin P! Pakistanis & Psychedelics

Hellooooo and welcome back to Bitch From Pakistan!

Today’s episode is a really, really special one. We’re diving into something that is often so taboo in our culture: psychedelics, trauma, and what it means to heal as Pakistani and Muslim women.

My guest is the brilliant Hena Malik...she studies religion and psychedelics, and trust me, she IS the niche and nuance to this conversation. Together, we’re unpacking how generational trauma shows up in our bodies, how plant medicine can open doors to healing, and the big question… how do you navigate psychedelics while still holding onto your faith?

This is about reclaiming our stories, breaking silence, and exploring new pathways to healing that honor both our traditions and our need for transformation and spiritual evolution. It’s deep, it’s vulnerable, and honestly… it’s the kind of conversation we've been waiting to show up..

So buckle up, because this one’s a journeyyyyy!
