  A new name. A deeper alignment. A more nourished mother. Welcome to The Nourished Mum Podcast, hosted by Fawzia Mohamed, holistic health and life coach for mums. This rebrand marks more than a fresh look — it represents growth, healing, and a return to the woman behind the role of "mum." Motherhood was never meant to drain you. You were created to be nourished in your soul, mind, body, and faith, so you can lead your home with presence, intention, and inner fullness. This podcast has reached hearts and homes across the world — and that is a testament to the beautiful community of mothers walking this journey together. Every share, every message, every prayer has helped build this space. This new season rises into something even more powerful: stories of real mothers making real impact, reminding us that motherhood is not small work — it is legacy, leadership, and worship. If you've been feeling tired, stretched, or like you've lost parts of yourself along the way, this space is for you. Here, the mother is supported, seen, and poured into. Take a breath. Place your hand on your heart. A new chapter begins.

  This is one of the shortest but most meaningful episodes yet. As we count down the final hours before the rebrand, this episode marks the closing of one chapter and the beginning of something deeply aligned for mothers. The podcast officially becomes The Nourished Mum Podcast — a space created to remind mothers that they were never meant to run on empty, but to be nourished in their soul, mind, body, and faith. In this episode, we reflect on the incredible journey so far, the barakah that has allowed this platform to reach homes across the world, and the powerful new season ahead — including a guest series featuring real mothers with inspiring stories of resilience, healing, growth, and community impact. The look may be new, but the vision remains the same: building a community of intentional mothers who are supported, seen, and nourished from the inside out. A new chapter begins. Stay tuned. 🤍 Lots of Love, Fawzia
