🌸 BEYOND THIS with Zaheerah Bham Ismail This Women’s Month, I’m joined by Appa Zaa for a deeply meaningful conversation about one of the most important—and often least acknowledged—roles a woman can hold. Motherhood comes without a salary, a job description, annual leave or an award ceremony. Yet mothers give endlessly: their time, their prayers, their patience, their dreams and so much of themselves. We explore the unseen value of motherhood—the sacrifices nobody applauds, the emotional labour nobody sees and the legacy mothers create in ways that may only be understood years later. But this conversation also makes space for another reality: not every mother-child relationship is nurturing. Some women carry the pain of toxic, difficult or absent mothers. Some are healing from what they didn’t receive, while learning how to become the women they needed. Because honouring motherhood does not mean ignoring the complexities of it. A conversation about love, sacrifice, faith, gratitude, healing, forgiveness and the profound impact a mother—or the absence of one—can have on a woman’s life. 🎙️ The Value of a Mother — with Appa Zaa Because motherhood leaves a mark. Sometimes through what we received and sometimes through what we didn’t—and both stories deserve to be heard.

Financial Empowerment vs Financial Independence Part 2Season 2 - Episode 20 - Beyond This by ZBIFinancial empowerment isn’t just about understanding money. It’s about knowing what to do with that knowledge. Full Video: https://youtu.be/0kWdnn-VDHA In Part 1, we explored the importance of financial empowerment and why every woman needs to have a voice in her financial future. In Part 2 of our conversation with Aneesa Adam and Tasneem Makda Mia, we take it a step further. How do we actually begin to empower ourselves? How do we become more financially confident, make informed decisions, build independence, protect our futures and create a healthier relationship with money? Because financial empowerment isn’t something that happens to us. It begins with the choices we make, the conversations we are willing to have and the knowledge we choose to gain. This is a conversation about moving from awareness to action and taking ownership of the financial future we want to create. 🎙️ Beyond This by Zaheerah Bham Ismail What comes next starts here. ‎

The Permission Economy Who gave you permission to live the life you’re living?

It’s a question we rarely ask ourselves. So many of our biggest decisions are shaped by expectations we never consciously chose—whether from family, culture, society or the quiet need to be accepted. This week on Beyond This, we explore The Permission Economy—the invisible approvals that influence our choices, our confidence and sometimes even our dreams.

Perhaps the permission you’ve been waiting for was never someone else’s to give. Join me for a conversation that may change the way you think about your own life.

💔 Some endings break hearts. 🌸 They don’t have to break women.

This week on Beyond This, I’m asking a question many women quietly carry: Do We Keep Women’s Dignity Through Divorce and Separation? A conversation about loss, identity, faith, resilience and the courage it takes to rebuild when life doesn’t unfold as planned. Too many women suffer in silence, feeling judged for what ended rather than honoured for what they survived. This episode is a reminder that your worth was never attached to your relationship status. Some endings do not break women. They reveal them. 🎙️ Join me for this honest and heartfelt conversation. #BeyondThisPodcast #BeyondTheBreak #WomensDignity #HealingJourney #WomenOver40 #faithandstrength
