Hosted by Hana and Ahmed, this episode features Heba Moubarak - a maternal and child health nurse, and a mother navigating the silent heaviness of postnatal depression.
Heba shares her raw, deeply personal journey through early motherhood - the emotional numbness, the guilt, and the pressure to hold it all together. From silent tears to intrusive thoughts, she speaks openly about the mental load too many mothers carry alone.
This episode explores the intersections of mental health, motherhood, and faith - and asks what it really means to show up for the mothers in our communities.
