Raising the next generation of wealthy-minded, strong Muslims carries a tremendous responsibility. Luckily, we live in an era where technology has made sharing knowledge and skills feasible.  Our lives became richer after we discovered the "Once upon a Crescent" podcast during the pandemic.  Mrs. Hashimi, a former teacher, started this podcast, Islamic bedtime stories for kids. These are NOT just ANY stories. She has a beautiful, creative style to share the wealth of knowledge from the hadith, the Quran, and current events. My kids love this podcast, the only downside is, I do not get to listen to my audiobooks or podcasts. Though, even as an adult, I am able to take so much away from these stories.  Please be sure to follow Mrs. Hashmi on Instagram Also, please support her by joining the Patreon program.

Ep #70: Rich vs. Wealthy

    I’ve never had a baby while having covid. I’ve never been a mom to 3 kids. I’ve never been in social isolation. I’ve never had to feed, pump, feed (tripel feed). I've never had to stretch my baby's wounds.   This episode is on productivity.   The challenges that I am facing to overcome the brain barriers to living an intentional life.   Money is 20% knowledge and 80% mindset.   Achieving the right mindset is truly being wealthy. Acquiring the right mindset is continuous work.   Our brains like to be efficient (lazy), seek pleasure, and avoid pain.   I re-started my journey on productivity by reading "The Productive Muslim" by Mohammad Faris.   This book is full of gems, I'll share more words of wisdom in later episodes.

We usually carry around an instruction book for how the world should behave so we can feel better.⁣ ⁣ Instruction manuals for ourselves and for other people around us. ⁣ ⁣ -My husband should come home on time. ⁣ -He should take the trash out. ⁣ ⁣ And when the other person does not follow our manual or doesn't do it right, then we are distraught. ⁣ ⁣ We go back to emotional childhood where we are blaming and depending on others for our emotions. ⁣ ⁣ The worst is when we have manuals for ourselves and then beat ourselves up for not living up to our expectations. ⁣ ⁣ How can you take full responsibility for your life and take all the power back? Tune into this episode. ⁣ ⁣ p.s.

Ep #64: Let Adults be...

At times, we are in a rush to leave a situation to make things better for ourselves.  Leave an unhappy marriage to find the next prince charming. Leave a job, due to a "bad" boss. Move to a new location to find happiness.  When we do things in a rush and desperation, we are making decisions from a negative place without really exploring what is making us unhappy.  Most of the time we end up in a similar situation again.  Why? Because the external world is not responsible for how we feel. We end up giving too much power to the external world.  To get our life back: We need to learn to manage our emotions internally. Make our decision from a place of responsibility, because only we are responsible for how we feel.  (Disclaimer: NOT speaking about abusive marriages. If you or someone you know is in an abusive marriage, please seek a professional therapist.)

Ep #63: Don't leave..

We are speaking about creating healthy relationships this month. Relationships are one of the greatest assets we have. We want a healthy relationship to help achieve our goals, and to avoid big financial setbacks including a divorce. Relationships are our thoughts about someone. They are not dependent on how one behaves. This is the secret to the universe. You can improve your relationship with someone by having great thoughts about them. When we start to complain and criticize, people become defensive. I hope you enjoy this episode, do let me know what you think. And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share the podcast.

Ep #62: Don't Criticize

Your mother-in-law is lovable.  Wealth is an abundance of valuable assets. What are some of the most valuable things? Yourself - your mental and physical health Relationships Money: Money is a tool that helps us to create more time for the things that really matter.  We want healthy & beautiful relationships to live a fulfilled life.  Healthy relationships help us grow & achieve our goals.  Also, a divorce can be a very costly process.  When it comes to relationships, one of the most common things I see people suffering with is hate and resentment for others.  It can be for a spouse, parents, or in-laws.  The argument is that this person did me so much wrong, that I could NEVER love them!  I could NEVER forgive them.  But the truth is that you are NOT hurting the other person by hating and resenting them, you are HURTING YOURSELF.  Who feels your emotions?  Only you.  Tune into this episode to on love. We will be exploring how to build healthy relationships in November.  Please subscribe, rate, and share the podcast. 

EP #61: Your mother-in-law is lovable.

Increasing self-confidence comes from changing your thoughts about yourself. You can increase it by considering the possibility of what you can create in the future. The more certain you are of the possibility, the more confidence you will have moved towards it. Afraid of failure. Afraid of disappointment. Imagine your life if you were willing to feel both of these feelings without resistance. Fear doesn’t prevent self-confidence—the unwillingness to feel fear does.
