In this very first episode, I share the story behind starting this podcast — a space where I can speak honestly about life as a Muslim woman, working mom, and someone living and growing in Kazakhstan.

I talk about who this podcast might resonate with, the themes I’ll explore in future episodes, and a few uncommon facts about me that shaped my worldview.

This episode is a quiet beginning, an opening chapter, and an invitation for you to join me on this journey.
