In this episode, I open up about what it really means to me to stand alone as a Muslim convert—when you're not just choosing a faith, but choosing yourself.

From navigating awkward conversations and situations, to making choices that don’t always sit well with others, this is a reflection on the quiet strength it takes to live your truth unapologetically. I share how the willingness to stand alone has shaped the way I show up in the world, honor my values, and build respectful relationships that see me.

It hasn’t always been easy—but learning to be unshaken, brave, and grounded in my faith has been the most powerful part of my journey.

This one’s for anyone who’s had to choose conviction over comfort. 💬✨

As a Latina Muslim mama, I’ve learned that motherhood is both a blessing and relentlessly real. Between the diapers, the du’as, and the deep cultural expectations, I had to get clear on what keeps me grounded. In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 Non-Negotiables —things that protect my peace, honor my faith, help me show up as the fierce, intentional mom I’m meant to be, and raise my baby while staying grounded. This is about more than routines because when you tap into that mama bear energy, you stop apologizing for doing what’s best for your child and yourself. Like that one time someone questioned why I have a birth plan and made suggestions to my birth plan—respectfully I declined their input and my maternal instinct said keep distance from this person, and I stood firm on that. That’s the mama bear energy I’m talking about.

What are your non-negotiables as a mom—those boundaries or beliefs you stick to no matter what, even when others don’t understand or agree?

Join me for a heartfelt and nostalgic conversation as I reflect on **Ramadan: Then vs. Now**. From memories of sneaking suhoor and hiding prayer to today’s deeper spiritual connections and new home. You will see how my Ramadan experiences have evolved over the years.

How has fasting changed? What traditions have stayed the same? And what new perspectives have I gained along the way?

With warmth, curiosity, and plenty of realistic examples, this episode invites you to reminisce, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of growth during this sacred month. Grab a cup of your fave drink and sit in on how your Ramadan journey can shape you.

Joy and faith go hand in hand. Whether you're out on an adventure, spending time with loved ones, or simply soaking in the beauty of the day, there’s always a moment to pause, breathe, and connect with Allah - prayer doesn’t have to interrupt the fun; it can weave seamlessly into it, making every joyful moment even more meaningful.
