The Balance of Mental Health and Why Hitting Pause Is Important
This week, I had to take a breath. As a mum, a revert, a creator, sometimes it all becomes a little too connecting and draining. So I’m taking my own advice, and hitting pause.
In this special re-upload, I’m sharing one of my earliest episodes that feels even more relevant today: the difference between feeling connected to Allah and actually being connected. It’s a reminder that stillness isn’t distance. And that taking time for your mental health, your deen, and your family is part of the connection.
If you’re new to the podcast, welcome, this episode will give you a strong foundation. If you’ve heard it before, may it reach you with new clarity.
Next week, I’ll be back with a brand new episode featuring a special guest!

Healing from the Life I Left Behind: What I Learned After Becoming Muslim
What if the hardest part of converting to Islam wasn’t letting go of your old beliefs - but the way people treated you after?
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about what it really felt like to leave behind my life as a Christian and embrace Islam. I talk about the backlash, the accusations, the grief and the surprising peace I found through it all.
➡️ Why some Christians turn hateful after you leave their religion
➡️ What Islam taught me about real peace, healing, and self-worth
➡️ How I navigated losing friends, family, and my old identity
➡️ Why the approval of others isn’t worth your soul
➡️ And how Allah replaced what I lost with something so much greater
Whether you’re a revert trying to heal, a Muslim struggling to move forward, or someone on the edge of faith - this episode is for you.
🎧 LISTEN NOW if you've ever felt alone on your path to truth.

What Every Christian Should Know About Islam
If you’re a Christian who’s ever wondered what Islam actually teaches without the media filters, without the politics, and without the cultural confusion - this episode is for you.
I’m not here to debate. I’m not here to convert you.
I’m just here to share the truths I never heard as a Christian. Truths about the Quran, Jesus, Mary, women’s rights, and the very God you already believe in.
Because Islam isn’t a new religion.
It’s the final message in the same chain that includes Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, peace be upon them all.
It’s not a rejection. It’s a continuation.
In this episode, we talk about:
The real meaning of “Allah”
Whether Islam has been changed or preserved
The difference between the Quran, Hadith, and the Bible
Women’s rights in Islam vs cultural misconceptions
How Muslims view Jesus and Mary
Why we don’t worship the Kaaba
And why there’s no pastor or racial hierarchy in Islam
This is the episode I wish someone had made for me when I was still searching.

From Bible Study to Shahada: How Truth Led Me to Islam | My Journey With the Bible
What happens when you grow up deeply rooted in Christianity, but your questions go unanswered? In this episode of Beyond the Shahada, I take you through my personal journey, from Lutheran beginnings, Catholic school, and Pentecostal revivals… to reading the Bible cover to cover, discovering shocking truths about Paul, and ultimately, finding Islam.
This wasn’t an emotional decision. It wasn’t a rebellion. It was years of research, reflection, and sincere prayer and what I found in Islam filled in the blanks that had never made sense to me in the church.
Whether you're a new revert, a curious Christian, or a born Muslim wondering how people come to Islam, this episode is for you.
🕊️ Truth doesn't fear your questions. Keep seeking.
