Reasons to do it Again

Sadia Jalali is the founder of Muslim Bliss and Uzma’s college roommate, and back on this podcast to talk about why Muslims moms CHOOSE to go back to the nursery. On this episode of our New Mommy Memoirs series, we change it up by discussing life’s changes that sometimes necessitate having another child in the second (or third) phase of life. 

She poses her zen approach to parenting and the epiphany that made her change her “never” to “maybe” to “okay” NINE years later. It’s worth thinking about for anyone who is on the fence and doesn’t want to say “what if” in a few years. Cheers to second chances and intentional pregnancies, as well as anyone who weathered a pandemic or single pregnancy! You’ll REALLY want to catch the very end of this episode for a fun gotcha moment.
