If you haven’t read this week’s essay, start there first.
In this episode:
I get honest about a pattern I see constantly, in my own home and in the families I work with, one most couples don’t even realize they’re stuck in.
I talk honestly about a dynamic that looks less like trust on the surface and something a lot less fair underneath
And I walk you through what it actually takes to fix it, without turning either parent into the villain.
This episode is for the Muslim parent who’s tired of carrying it all alone, or the one who’s been quietly opting out and calling it trust. Either way, this one’s for you.
You’re doing better than you think.
With du’a,

At-Tahrim (66:6)
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًۭا وَقُودُهَا ٱلنَّاسُ وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَـٰٓئِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌۭ شِدَادٌۭ لَّا يَعْصُونَ ٱللَّهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ ٦
O believers! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, overseen by formidable and severe angels, who never disobey whatever Allah orders—always doing as commanded.
