MMMS #4 - Creating a Natural Home and the Importance of Gratitude with Sarah UmmYusuf

Welcome to episode 002 of the Yasmin Essa podcast! On today's show, I am joined by Sarah UmmYusuf, Green Living Mentor for a lovely conversation on green living, Islam, family, and more. Sarah's Bio (in her own words): I’m a former school teacher, turned stay at home mom of three kiddos, age 6 and under. My husband and I were born and raised in the US, but moved to Canada 10 years ago and now live in Toronto. I’ve also been blogging for 6 years about natural and non-toxic living, and consulting with families to help them take small steps to creating a non-toxic home. Besides geeking out while searching for safer alternatives to the products we use in our home, I love dabbling in photography, reading, and drinking lots and lots of coffee. ;-) Interview Questions:  Tell us about yourself personally and professionally. How did Nature’s Nurture come about? Do you have any non-negotiable daily habits? What stresses you out? What do you do when you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Do you have any examples from your life when you overcame adversity? What advice would you give to your adolescent self? What makes you happy and joyful? How has Islam inspired you? Where do you potentially see yourself 15 years down the line, inshaAllah? Where can listeners find you and your work?  This episode is sponsored by Glow Academy's 6 Week Ramadan Mind Body Soul Online Retreat. Learn more about Glow Academy here, inshaAllah.
