⛪🕌✝🌙☪Thanks for coming back for PART TWO of this special episode with @3blackmenpod and @halfwaytherepodcast. This week, we continue to hear what a gospel of inclusion looks like by people who look and pray differently, but believe in the same God and values we think we need to save our ailing world.
From our reactions to hidden and overt racism, to what is Godly behavior, and having tough conversations with those who may not practice as we do, we end up on a journey through rivers and streams to keep reaching for God.🎧📲
💗We'd like to thank @byuradio and In Good Faith Podcast for hosting us and providing professional recording resources for this very special episode. 💗

Noha Alshugairi, MS, LMFT and co-author of Positive Parenting in the Muslim Home, joins us today to be thanked for writing THE manual on Muslim American parenting we needed. Just kidding! Even she says that's not what it is, but it IS the text that gave us hope that there were other moms out there who knew our struggles and would help lighten them.
On this episode, Khala Noha covers the role positive discipline plays in shaping emotionally resilient kids. What are the most common concerns that Muslim parents bring her, what cultural influences help or hinder Muslim families, and why must our kids fail? That last one really begs the question about why we parents are so afraid of failure. All this, and more, in store for our listeners.
You might be surprised to learn what this therapist's beliefs and practices are about therapy and who should be doing it. What won't surprise you is her commitment to the spiritual development of Muslim parents and their kids. We didn't even release the episode and got eager listeners chomping at the bit to share how much they love Khala Noha, and everything they've learned from her.
Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or head to our website to check out the latest. And do share this episode with 3 mom friends no matter what stage of parenting they're in. They'll love you for it!

As mothers, we spend years nurturing, guiding, and preparing our children to take flight. And then one day, they do. The once chaotic household grows quiet, and we're left standing in the wake of their departure. It’s a moment we always knew would come, but it doesn't make the transition any less complex. This week's episode dives deep into the feelings of an "empty nest" and challenges the idea of loss by reframing it as an opportunity for growth and reinvention—for both us and our children.
Are we "empty" when our children leave, or are we setting them free to soar, to become who we raised them to be? The truth is, their independence is a reflection of our success as mothers. Every milestone they achieve, every risk they take, is proof that we've equipped them with the tools they need to navigate the world on their own terms.
But this transition is also about us. We aren't just mothers—we are individuals who deserve to rediscover ourselves beyond the role we've played for so long. This is a chapter where we get to ask, "Who am I now?" and "What do I want to do?" It's not about losing ourselves; it's about reclaiming and redefining our identities. From exploring new passions to reconnecting with our dreams, this stage of life is as much about *our* growth as it is theirs.
Tune in as we explore the bittersweet emotions of watching our children fly the nest and how we can embrace this season of transformation with grace, strength, and a little self-discovery. Whether you're on the brink of an empty nest or already navigating this new space, this conversation is for you. 💖

There’s a lot to say about “mothers’ status” in Islam, but sadly, not enough about how to support her to maintain and thrive there. It’s hella lonely and confusing on these pedestals. We aren’t looking for trophies, just Jannah (heaven), but some of us get lost along the way.
Good news! There’s a whole field of study about it! Matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood, is both spiritual AND practical for Muslims. There’s no other way we know how to do things, but we weren’t always here. It took a long way, through a lot of parenting potholes and pitfalls to get where we are, and we aren’t done yet. Take a walk down memory lane with us and maybe tune in for some familiar experiences and sentiments.
We didn’t mean to start the waterworks this early in the series, but here we are. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or head to our website landing page. Share this episode with a new mama or even better, a mama to be, who can inshaAllah avoid curveballs where we did not.
