Shownotes:

This month’s Love & Marriage series closes out with the expertise of Tawakaltu Busari of Hitched!, a Muslim matchmaking service based in Houston. Not an app-based method, Hitched! provides halal opportunities for singles to meet organically and not in the traditional survey method historically used to match people. There aren’t speed dates or elaborate networks to figure out who can plan forever together at Hitched!. Instead, the company focuses on spiritual matchmaking as more important than the pedigrees that traditional matchmakers used to determine compatibility. This is NOT how Sima Auntie works on Netlfix! A Muslim company specializing in how couples need to operate with a goal of success in Islam as much as success in this world is the one we want to talk about, and talk to.

With rising divorce rates in the Muslim community, this is important for parents, young adults, new adults, single women, newly single women, and those men who listen to us on the DL. We know ya’ll are out there!

When it’s Time to Walk Away

1 Recommendations

We're all about love and marriage this month. Until we're not. Not all marriages work out, and we don't say "succeed" or "fail" because marriage isn't an Olympic event, y'all. Sometimes two people just don't belong together, and when kids are involved, decisions must be made.

Rayesa Gheewala, The Muslimah Divorce Coach, talks to us today about the heartbreaking truths of divorce, including the aftermath that can leave a mom gutted if she doesn't know where to get help. The answer is already one we know, and Rayesa is so gifted at leading us back to natural, nonverbal knowing, or our fitra. The role of ego in anything, especially in divorce, really needs more exploring in ways that we’ve never heard of before. We also touch on what’s causing Muslim divorces during this pandemic, and how to identify when it’s the end of the road.

Take notes! The pearls in this episode are for anyone even CONTEMPLATING a relationship.

If you haven’t scheduled to listen in on our Firewalker series this month, you’ll want to. These moms aren’t just walking over hot coals--they’re doing it through billowing blazes while taking names and kicking butt.

Whether you're ready for it or not, Shazia Imam, host of the Feminine & Fulfilled podcast joins us to drop truths about what it looks like when NOTHING works out. She's faced the worst of what we daily pray for protection against. How she overcame everything is a story to hear, and now it informs her important work for women! Her declarations to Allah SWT are aspirational and affirming so listen in to learn them.

Cool fact: This episode was recorded live on Facebook and YouTube but ran unrecorded for the first time on Clubhouse with live QA afterward! Super fun.
