We are in dire need of it, hence the replay of Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi's episode about impediments to spiritual consistency in our lives. While some folks tried to white knuckle it through Ramadan, we used it to treat our broken hearts and rage. But we are still worried about how to make the essence of this month make the world make sense after Eid. How do we carry our Ramadan routines forward past this blessed month and not lose the spiritual high we SO NEED right now?  Let’s talk about train cars, the myth of parental ownership, suhbah (spiritual companionship), acts of worship we can ..read more

This week's replay is Dr. Fareeha Malik, DDS, mom of 2 with a history of severe postpartum depression. PPD ended up informing her relationships and and even her reproduction. Of course, we discuss how she she found healing. Bringing home a baby doesn’t always mean mom’s eternal happiness. Not all mothers feel “the way they should” after the baby is born, and may feel lost if they don’t know where to turn for resources. This endangers not only mom but also a newborn. In a time when 14000 children have been unalived in a completely manmade g-cide, this episode still has its place as one of the ..read more

Sumiya Khan, RD was recently on during our Where Are They Now series, and this is her original story from Season 2, in case you haven't heard it or don't know how to find it on your podcast app. She shared her devastating loss and was on the path to overcoming it at the time of this recording. Her advice on the do’s and don'ts during grieving are golden and should be printed for general public use! She’s truly a model of resilience, and since like-minded folks get together, Sanctuary Kitchen was [is] her passion, outlet, and work empowering refugees. We look forward to her supportive endeavor ..read more

Anse Tamara Gray, founder of Rabata, an online institute for and by Muslim women to educate themselves in Islam. She’s also an experienced mom who has a lot to share with moms about allying with their kids as part of their mothering.  Mic drop moment 32:36 when Anse Tamara reminds us about the etymological relationship of the words “umm” (mother) and “imam” (one in front of whom we study, or leader), but on a lighter note at 44:15 “Anse Tamara: I am green beans!” Serious butterflies and chills in this episode, so don’t miss it! Tune in at 6pm EST and share with a momsister in search of f ..read more

Thirteen thousand children and counting....and as you heard on our hiatus announcement, at home, moms are losing their kids, too, to the continued shock of the community. Why are we so shocked? Are we untouchable, above grief and trials from Allah? No, He's promised them to us, and we pray to pass all those tests. Ameen. One of the moms who came on before is our beloved teammate, Saira Sufi, who even recently moved us to tears at our gala when she shared the story of her son, Hadi. She is our role model, who embodies beautiful patience and imaan while facing what we can only imagine is lifelo ..read more

We are still recovering from this past weekend’s Eman Entrepreneur Expo and Empower & Elevate Gala. Thank you to all who participated, attended, donated, and supported in all the ways that matter. But who knew two events in one day would be this exhausting? Jokes aside, we are blessed to do the work we do, but full steam ahead since 10/7 has left us little to contribute to our own households of late, namely, those who gave us the credentials we value the most: M.O.M. We want to continue our activism but rest, reset, and reconnect with our kids during Ramadan right around the corner. So whi ..read more

If this month's series title scared you, we can imagine today's episode title will, too. Rest assured, we have very tame info for everyone. In fact, it's info meant to help tame the problems we think are really big and we have all to ourselves, when, in fact, many people suffer silently with the same. And silence helps NO ONE. Getting control in the bedroom is everyone's right. We've talked pathology all month, so let's talk about practical equipment to help with some of those physical changes with time. What we use to get control CAN be used for kink, but it's not all about that at all. Drop ..read more
