Welcome to Sacred Seasons
In a world of curated feeds and quick fixes, the sacred reality of motherhood often gets buried under pressure, perfectionism, and parenting hacks that miss the mark. Sacred Seasons brings things back to what truly matters, raising ourselves and righteous children through a life grounded in purpose, identity, and connection with Allah.Hosted by a fellow Muslim mom and parenting educator Eman Ahmed, this podcast isn’t here to sugarcoat your struggles or hand you surface-level advice. Instead, I take a deep dive into what it really means to parent through the lens of Islam. Where your worship, identity, and motherhood are not separate roles, but deeply intertwined.From deconstructing popular parenting trends to unlearning the pressure to perform, each episode explores the raw, real, and often spiritual work of becoming the parent Allah meant you to be.Whether you're in the thick of tantrums or navigating tweenhood, this podcast is your space to reflect, recharge, and reorient, so you can lead your home with confidence and clarity.Sacred Seasons is more than just a podcast. It’s a quiet rebellion against performative parenting and a return to parenting that is rooted in emaan, led by identity, and built for the akhirah.Subscribe now and join us!Join the Sacred Seasons Insiders.
