A New Chapter, A Deeper Purpose

Assalamualaikum dear Reader

Alhamdulillah, over the weekend Allah blessed us with our daughter, Hafsa.

That makes me a mother to four now. My heart is overflowing with gratitude, and my dua is simple; that this journey of motherhood continues to be one where pleasing Allah is the top priority.

Life feels like it’s been given a fresh start in so many ways. I’ve also re-enrolled with the clean beauty company that was once known as Beautycounter and has now restarted from scratch as Counter. For me, it’s not just about skincare, it’s a reminder that we can always make better choices for our bodies, homes, and hearts. This also feels symbolic for my motherhood journey right now… like I’ve turned a page into something entirely new.

And in all of this, I keep coming back to one thing: how deeply being at ease in your marriage impacts your mental health.

The way you feel with your husband influences how you show up for your children, your home, and your own soul. In recent conversations with Muslim women, I’ve heard again and again how this one area, marriage, can either drain or fuel everything else.

Which is why today’s newsletter is addressing a topic that’s been on my mind: “How to Protect Your Marriage from Resentment Before It Starts”

If you’ve been feeling like your days are a blur of giving to everyone but yourself… if conversations with your husband feel more like managing logistics than building love… or if you’ve quietly wondered whether this is just how marriage is supposed to feel — you’re not alone.

Allah’s timing in giving me Hafsa, re-opening this new chapter in my work, and placing me in these conversations with women is a sign for me to keep going, keep serving, and keep reminding us all that:

  • You can nurture your marriage without losing yourself.
  • You can choose habits that strengthen both your deen and your home.
  • You can, with Allah’s help, make space for love, ease, and barakah.
