Why does it feel like Allah abandoned me?’ If you’ve ever cried during sujood or wondered if your pain was ‘punishment,’ this episode is for you. Bree Shaaban gets raw about:

• How childhood trauma distorts your relationship with Allah

• The loneliness of being called ‘strong’ when you’re breaking inside

• Practical steps to reframe your faith beyond trauma responses (including the du’a that changed everything)

This isn’t a ‘just pray more’ lecture - it’s a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt unseen by Allah.

What do you do when your own family treats your Islam like a phase - or worse, a betrayal? This week, Bree Shaaban gets real about the messy, painful, and sometimes darkly hilarious struggles of being the only Muslim in a non-Muslim family. From bacon-laced pasta (‘Just pick it out!’) to ‘non-alcoholic’ beer traps, she shares her most cringe-worthy stories, plus hard-won advice on:

• Setting boundaries without burning bridges

• Responding to relatives who call the Prophet ﷺ ‘false’

• Finding your real tribe when blood isn’t enough

If your family gatherings feel like spiritual warfare, this episode is your battle plan. Because at the end of the day? Allah’s love is the only approval that matters.
