Salam!

Lately, I saw a trend of mothers on Instagram not wanting to be known as a mompreneur or a mom boss. They felt the title did them some injustice or limited them in the eyes of others. I disagree and I love to be known as a mompreneur i.e mom + entrepreneur. That's who I am, and I don't call my motherhood responsibilities limitations. I believe as mompreneurs, we should be assessed differently, because when you're a mom trying to juggle work and parenting - it's not easy. To me, it's just logical to claim it and to own it. It's calling a spade a spade. Listen in as I chat more about this, and oh yeah, forgive my raspy voice as I was recovering from a cold when I recorded this.

Salam and hello my friends! Yup I'm starting up my podcast again BRAND NEW for 2020! Alhumdulillah the time is right as I needed to figure things out a bit more and overcome some battles.

I've been doing audio posts for some time, but didn't open an official podcast till this week. My audio blog posts mainly covered topics for Mompreneurs and were on my website only. I began doubting myself and thinking it wasn't perfect enough to publish and I removed them. After gaining inspiration from another sister alhumdulillah, I decided not to worry about perfectionism, but about spreading a message of empowerment. So, my podcasts WILL have mistakes, um's, buts, pauses, or maybe a kid or two in the background - that's the real life of a mom anyway. Welcome to my podcast.

Listen in as Mishka Daries, host of "Voice of The Cape" radio station on the "Morning Expresso" show. She interviewed me a few years ago. The topic is, "Overcoming The Challenges of Motherhood", recorded January 2nd, 2004 from Cape Town, South Africa.

Social media is one of those love/hate things. I say this because I know many who go on, then off social media, and don’t understand why. This podcast is not about making you feel guilty for being on social media, because I use it too. It is merely my personal opinion about why I dislike it, what I think about it, and how we should be aware of our intentions when using it.
