  • Ep. 10 | Islamically permissible interactions with men: I’VE MADE MISTAKES.

    I do not have it all together when interacting with men who are NON-MAHRAM to me. I caught myself making a few missteps, and it took a day or two to feel no shame in how I handled them.  #progressnotperfection

  • Ep. 8 | What my heart discovered: love.relationships.Islam.

    I've always been so interested in human connection and I think it is why I explored and linked with so many people in my early twenties.  This episode I share four things my heart has discovered and I have become aware of.  These four things I call out support me in my current relationships; my marriage being one of them.

  • Ep.7 | "Muslims should be judged according to the teachings of Islam, NOT Islam should be judged according to behaviours of Muslims."

    Sayed Hadi Hassan joins me as we touch on women, Islam, traditions, oppression. Looking for facts or curious about this? You'll want to listen to this short episode. 

    As a #muslimconvert I did feel like I had to convince my parents that I would be more than okay being a Muslim women. It's been a few years since I've converted now and I still find it so important to this day to spread knowledge around this misconception that Muslim women are oppressed and that Islam does this. 

    Let me know your thoughts through connecting with me on my channels! AND please drop a like if you enjoyed hearing from Sayed Hadi Hassan and InshaAllah I can make it happen again!

  • Ep. 5 | Becoming A Muslim: Learning and Choosing A Sect.

    In the beginning of learning Islam; the thought of choosing a sect and the pressure that comes with it starts to slowly unfold. 

    I discuss what supported me during this time and share my advice on what to focus on when you're just starting out so you don't lose sight of the beauty of this religion.

    Here's a video link of discussing differences between Shia and Sunni: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Prs99ANvY

  • Ep. 2 | Change and Doubts

    in this episode I chat through how I experienced new doubts after sharing the news of converting into Islam. I dive into how I motivate myself to continue to move forward through tough times and cope with the feeling of "doubt." I also touch on how "new doubts" formed from having others challenge me, and when "politics" and culture get mixed in during my learning journey. Lastly, I touch on how i personally found mobility and empowerment through this change and when in doubt.
