Ep.30 | Living Islam Out Loud: Parenting, Modeling Faith, and Real Life as a Convert
From getting married as a Christian to finding Islam in a way that felt deeply personal... to now being a mother, trying to live, teach, and embody this deen every single day. Let's welcome Jordan: a mother, content creator, and revert Muslim navigating motherhood and faith.We talked about the moments that felt heavy — the confusion, the isolation, the quiet struggles no one really sees. And we talked about the moments that made everything feel real — the peace, the clarity, the feeling of being guided when nothing else made sense.What does it actually mean to live Islam out loud?Not just believing it quietly…but carrying it in how you speak, how you love, how you show up — even when it’s uncomfortable. We touch on Jordan's journey.Connect with Jordan on Instagram: pietyandpatienceSend us Fan MailConnect with me :) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risingconvert/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risingconvertSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d1iljqiAdwEDPkz9bq2oc?si=27298b44f9f44c9eYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingconvertexperienceEmail: [email protected]

Ep.29 | Muslim-Mama Series: Two Big Questions I Always Get About My Muslim Daughter
In this episode, I’m answering the two questions my Mom circle always ask about my Muslim daughter. I will be sharing the honest, and true thought process that I have as a convert mom. These questions open the door to deeper conversations about identity, parenting style and the way I’m choosing to raise her with both confidence and compassion. As someone who came to Islam later in life, my approach to parenting is shaped by intention, curiosity, and the desire to give her what some don't or didn’t have: a grounding in faith that feels safe, empowering, and authentic, especially as i recognize that social media is now playing a big role in our kids lives.Send us Fan MailConnect with me :) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risingconvert/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risingconvertSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d1iljqiAdwEDPkz9bq2oc?si=27298b44f9f44c9eYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingconvertexperienceEmail: [email protected]

Ep. 27 | Willing To Stand Alone: How I ACTUALLY got through it all.
In this episode, I open up about what it really means to me to stand alone as a Muslim convert—when you're not just choosing a faith, but choosing yourself. From navigating awkward conversations and situations, to making choices that don’t always sit well with others, this is a reflection on the quiet strength it takes to live your truth unapologetically. I share how the willingness to stand alone has shaped the way I show up in the world, honor my values, and build respectful relationships that see me.It hasn’t always been easy—but learning to be unshaken, brave, and grounded in my faith has been the most powerful part of my journey.This one’s for anyone who’s had to choose conviction over comfort. 💬✨Send us Fan MailConnect with me :) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risingconvert/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risingconvertSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d1iljqiAdwEDPkz9bq2oc?si=27298b44f9f44c9eYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingconvertexperienceEmail: [email protected]

Ep. 26 | Mama Bear Energy: My 5 Non-Negotiables!
As a Latina Muslim mama, I’ve learned that motherhood is both a blessing and relentlessly real. Between the diapers, the du’as, and the deep cultural expectations, I had to get clear on what keeps me grounded. In this episode, I’m sharing the 5 Non-Negotiables —things that protect my peace, honor my faith, help me show up as the fierce, intentional mom I’m meant to be, and raise my baby while staying grounded. This is about more than routines because when you tap into that mama bear energy, you stop apologizing for doing what’s best for your child and yourself. Like that one time someone questioned why I have a birth plan and made suggestions to my birth plan—respectfully I declined their input and my maternal instinct said keep distance from this person, and I stood firm on that. That’s the mama bear energy I’m talking about.What are your non-negotiables as a mom—those boundaries or beliefs you stick to no matter what, even when others don’t understand or agree?CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risingconvert/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risingconvertSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d1iljqiAdwEDPkz9bq2oc?si=27298b44f9f44c9eApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-convert-podcast/id1685565615Email: [email protected] TO SAYED AMMAR LECTURE: https://youtu.be/EUMjHh0g_ZM?si=LswN96iwdBMySJkvLINK TO BRATBUSTERS PARENTING PODCAST:https://bratbusters.com/podcast/Send us Fan MailConnect with me :) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risingconvert/?hl=enTik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@risingconvertSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4d1iljqiAdwEDPkz9bq2oc?si=27298b44f9f44c9eYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingconvertexperienceEmail: [email protected]

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!
