Trigger warning: We discuss extremely sensitive topics such as Baby Loss/ Still Birth.

We're back with another episode, welcome back! This week, we discuss a very heavy topic with our guest, Shukri. At 22 weeks, her world shattered when her membranes ruptured, leading to the heartbreaking loss of her baby boy, Yusuf. Navigating the pain and grief of giving birth to a stillborn was an experience that changed her forever.

Amidst the sorrow, a miracle arrived in the form of her rainbow baby boy, Suleiman.

This video is a heartfelt account of her journey from unimaginable loss to the joy of welcoming new life. If this is a topic that you find triggering, please do not watch and come back for our next episode :)

In this episode, we sit down with Ilham, founder of MURSCENTS, who shares her incredible journey of strength and resilience. Pregnant at 22, Ilham faced the daunting challenge of Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), enduring 7 months of sickness. Just when things couldn't seem more challenging, Ilham experienced a heartbreaking betrayal by her husband at five months pregnant, leading to their divorce shortly after the birth of her beautiful daughter.

Despite all of this, she was able to build a good life for herself as a single mother alongside her daughter. She started a business (Murscents) selling Frankincense, Oud/Bakhoor and Oud Oil, inspired by her own upbringing in a Somali home.
