Zaiba & Uzma come on today to not only endorse that podcasting kicks a$$, but that they do, too. A far cry from where they started 5 years ago with imposter syndrome and trying to do it all, to where they are now and what’s cooking for the future at Mommying While Muslim. 

Find out about next month’s very important series: All About Palestine, to their new nonprofit, and why 2-24-24 needs to be circled in RED on your calendars. If you want to be on next month’s series or participate in the Expo 2024, email us NOW at [email protected].

Mindful Muslimah joins us today because listeners of her podcast of the same name may believe, “Oh my God, she does it all!” From homeschooling, to cooking with multiple aged kids with multiple food issues, to running businesses and teaching, she has her hands in everything. How DOES she do it all?

As our title suggests, she doesn't do it all…at once. And definitely not without her secret sauce, which she describes during the course of this episode. Moms in all stages of mommying should tune in, but moms who were just born or are early on in their journeys, please tune in. Had we had this episode early on in our own mommying careers, we would have felt a lot better.

Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher or head over to our website and you can listen from the landing page. Share this episode with a mom you believe is doing everything, and with a mom who tells you she’s afraid that she isn’t.

Khalila Lister, founder of Power of Voice Academy, comes on today as a TedX speaker and homeschooling mom of 4. Today, she trains people to take the stage or just gain confidence in public speaking. In this time of trial for the ummah and particularly for the people of Gaza, we are seeing more people speaking up for liberation. They’re making their cases more freely than they’ve ever been able to do before. Thanks, social media!

If you’ve always shied away from the stage or the mic because “it’s not my place,” or WORSE, “I can’t” speak in front of audiences. This month’s series is Muslim Moms Kick Ass because they CAN do great things even with great odds. We ALL CAN do the same.

For those who’ve ever dreamed of being on TedX, learn the process and listen to Khalila’s huge special project coming up in early 2024, as well as her free offering coming up SOON in case you’re ready to speak about your passion. The time to be kickass has come.

Dr. Nour Akhras is a pediatrician infectious disease specialist who has gone on multiple medical missions during her career, even while pregnant! And then she wrote a book about it. That definitely kicks a$$ for our series this month!

Listen to her medical mission journey, from the life-changing first trip to now, and how she was able to put that into words. Publishing a book is hard, too, so she describes all the hard things she had to face that helped her write it. It’s hard to say it now given the state of the world, but so timely. We can all do hard things because all of us have kicka$$ in us. Let’s find Allah and our peace now.

 Someone we've followed online was later recommended by prior guest @hindmakki, and y'all know we don't believe in accidents! We kick off our November Series: Kickass Muslim Moms with her.

Yasmin Turk recounts her journey from GED to mommy to PhD. It's not a normal path for everyone, but the takeaway is definitely, never underestimate the power you have within you to accomplish things.

Especially at this time in history, it is critical to channel our talents, and we each have them, towards making the world safer and peaceful. We can do this. We can do great things.

Saira Sufi was specifically requested by listener fans who remembered her story and resilience and wanted to see how she’s doing today.Saira rejoins us this year, 5 years after the death of her son. The last time she was on, it was just 2 years after her great loss and since then, she’s had A LOT happen, including personal and emotional growth, and a couple of trips with Zaiba and Uzma. We admire her unwavering faith, love of Hadi, gentle wisdom, and support of this podcast, among other spectacular things she does. We are so fortunate to call her a role model, momsister, and beloved friend.

Why would United States Senators sign into law, a bill that combats the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) movement this past May 2023? Probably because BDS works. What is it and why does it matter so much to our lawmakers and to all Americans? While we find out, let’s ask ourselves, “Why do we consider Rosa Parks a momshero?”
States led the way in passing anti BDS laws, and have been doing so for years. Returning to the podcast is Bahia Amawi, a mom who was scheduled WAY BEFORE October to speak with us. This episode was recorded just after October 7th and since then, the world is witnessing what’s happened.
Bahia Amawi lost her job overnight when she refused to sign an employment contract with a school district that stipulated she would maintain an anti BDS stance. As a Palestinian and mom, she fought the state and came to us at that time when the ruling was pending. Find out what happened and where you can catch her right now on the screen.
Tune in at 6pm EST where you listen to podcasts (we aren’t on Spotify!) or head to our website and you can hear her there. You can click on the Shownotes tab there; click on the link about the BDS movement tonight!

Warning: neonatal loss
Abeeha Hasan contacted us several years ago after experiencing the neonatal loss of her precious Jennah. It was really raw the first time around and since then, listeners asked us how she is, what’s up, and even notified us of her goings on since she was last here. There’s a LOT of big things she’s gone through and she was kind enough to come back and talk about it again as well as fill us in on what grief looks like now.
If you take nothing away from today’s episode, remember therapy, therapy, and more therapy. Abeeha will explain why. Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, or head to our website landing page and share this episode with a friend.

In this FIRST episode, Zaiba Hasan and Uzma Jafri introduced themselves as two American Muslim mothers, born and raised in the USA and their unique places in history and geography. What did it mean for their kids who were also born here?

They have a combined eight children and over 25 years of parenting experiences to share.  So for those moms who feel alone dealing with Islamophobia, getting their kids to pray, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, all while managing their emotions during drivelines and PTA meetings, this episode, nay, this podcast, is your place to vent, to be seen, to be heard, and to be held.

The tech in this episode has improved VASTLY since, so bear with it--it only gets better the more episodes you tune into. If you haven't listened yet, what are you waiting for? Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts at 6pm EST every Thursday and SHARE THIS PODCAST with your friends.
