How hard is it for our women in Ramadan in the kitchen? I was telling my husband just the other day. I was like, it feels like I'm cooking for a party every day. And as Ramadan supposed to be like that, no, but the truth is, you know, we have nostalgic things in the house, especially in my husband's culture that he wants to have. And, you know, no matter what I do, I know at the end of day, these are memories for my kids and they do want them. And I'm not even talking about going over the top in any way, shape, or form. It's just that there's three or four items you break

fast with, and they just traditionally do. And then you have regular dinner. Now, yes, I do breaks

and go out and do this and that. But in the end, for all of us as women, it just feels like a huge weight. And especially

then you've got to wake up, you have to soeur. And every family is different, the requirements

of what your family needs from you, dietary and picky eaters and whatever. But the point is,

if you have a full house of fasting people, which I do, it can be a lot. And today we're going to

honor the legacy of

gently exploring how we can kind of nurture our spiritual needs and finding balance,

even though we're sitting here having to have these kitchen wars where every day you're

fighting with the dishes because it's piled so high and you just want to cry. Yeah, I have

moments like those here and there, but I'm going to tell you what I do to make it all easier. Welcome to the mindful Muslim speaks podcast, a safe
