LUWS - LightupwithShua Podcast


Podcast in English & Urdu - YEAR 2023

https://lightupwithshua.com/ 

My name is Shua and I am the owner of LUWS ACADEMY LLC (USA) and the founder & host of lightupwithShua, a weekly podcast on Conscious Living and Parenting.

I hope you all have passed through the Covid times without too much loss and some good also came out of it. The virus is still hanging around us and we have learned to live with it to some extent. May this pandemic be a learning lesson for us all and goes away sooner than later. 

This is a bilingual podcast. So far I have published about 100 plus episodes. Season 1 was a time of learning and making connections. I had some amazing guests who were supportive and graciously took time out to come to the studios in Groton, MA or be on Skype or available in Person. That is still happening. I feel very lucky and blessed to have amazing guests on my shows.

Season 2 started with interviews with younger people in Urdu as well. Did some travel shows while in Pakistan, more coming on that.

Season 3 started with  Environment and Climate Change. Hope you had a chance to watch or listen to it.

LightupwithShua podcast is for people like you and me, who are full of life, always learning, striving to get better and move on to mastery.

My podcast may help people, individuals, parents and anyone who is willing to evolve and grow by listening to rich conversations from people of diverse backgrounds and experiences.

You and I can together learn to solve and transform our problems to solutions. How? Well by listening to the stories of amazing individuals from all age groups, all kinds of professions, cultures, and ethnicities. In addition to listening and doing call to action on the lightupwithShua website and on the shows, you will have the opportunity to attend live shows on Facebook, join the free Facebook group and attend workshops, retreats and programs that are coming up this year 2023. So, stay tuned by visiting the website, instagram, Linkedin and facebook pages.

A thought:

When I was a little younger person, I would have liked to listen or watch similar programs where I could hear diverse viewpoints from multicultural backgrounds and learn from people talking about diverse topics.

I believe this podcast is also helpful for people who are not able to travel far away for whatever reason and get this valuable information in their hands so conveniently through smart devices and other smart technology today. 

I believe that someone, somewhere will benefit from these fascinating conversations doesn't matter who you are. This is to serve you! And I think at the end of the day, that is what matters, what do you think?

In addition to you learning and benefiting from our conversations on LUWS - lightupwithshua, my esteemed interviewees have expressed that my thoughtful questions provides them the opportunity to think about things they never thought of before or didn’t articulate it the way they do during our interviews. So, I guess I am happy to bring mostly the best in my interviewees! ;-)

Some of my guests have expressed that their time with me during these interviews will help them to further ponder and transcend through similar issues discussed. So, my hope is that you will also think about the questions and our conversations in ways that will benefit you and those with whom you would like to share these conversations.   

Those who are regular listeners of this podcast might have gathered that I am enjoying the process of meeting people and learning from them. For me, interviewing people is like reading an infinite book, a book with never ending chapters with captivating stories.

This LUWS podcast is for people who are open to the possibilities and ready to learn. Beautiful souls looking to find any opportunity to broaden their horizon, challenge their limits and share their knowledge and experiences. Thank you for listening and watching. And if you like this podcast or any episode, please feel free to send me your comments and feedback!

A little more reminder for dear listeners, you will find guests from Native American tribes, African Americans, Pakistani Americans, Jewish Americans, Indian Americans, Swedish, Pakistani, and so many more. This is quite fascinating and not sure how many podcasts have such a diverse line of interviewees. 

I am a Muslim, Pakistani-American, born in Saudi Arabia, woman, and immigrant, who hosts and interviews Indians/Hindus, Christian-Evangelists, Rabbis, students, people of all genders, housewives, professionals, entrepreneurs, you name it!

This I think is called inclusivity and diversity. Hope you can appreciate and learn with me on this journey! In one podcast, you can find guests who are multinational, multi-faith, multicultural, non-faith, and all, talking about one topic! They are all lighting up our world with great insight and a message of hope!

And lastly, please subscribe, share, rate and review. This will be a tremendous gift to me from you.

Thank you!

How are you transformed?

May 9, 2019

You are listening or watching to Lightupwithshua, a weekly podcast on conscious living and parenting. I am your host and the founder of the podcast Shua.

There will be a little change in the pattern of my podcast. In addition to the weekly guests that I have on my podcast approximately since last 18 months, at the time of this writing  you will be listening to topics on Mental Health and Interfaith.

This topic has been on my mind therefore you will hear and see it through my podcast.

In my view and experience, it is timely to learn and understand our physical, emotional and mental health in order to have a healthy fulfilling functioning life. This is very important and that is the reason I am sharing with you that just a few weeks ago I attended a Mental Health First Aid training. So, I am looking forward to impart the knowledge from it and bring guests who are in this field to talk about this issue in our respective communities.

I will continue to cover topics in both the languages, in English and in Urdu.

Why Urdu? well this language is spoken in many countries around the world. Such as Pakistan, where Urdu is the official language, Middle East, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, America, and Canada, to name a few. Basically, where ever there are Pakistanis, there is Urdu.

The reason for me to do the podcast in Urdu is to keep in touch with my native language. There are some Urdu speakers and listeners who have encouraged me to have more programs on various topics in Urdu. And I have not found any podcast in Urdu or English with the similar content and so much diversity of guests and questions.

Side note: If you want to learn Urdu, please contact me and I shall guide you about it.

Coming back to the change in my podcast, the purpose is to educate and learn so the only way to do that is that I bring meaningful content that provides meaningful solutions for you from my research and experience. So I must continue to improve and grow my channel into more interesting and educational content.

So stay tuned for informative, educational and useful topics on lightupwithshua. If you haven’t already, do give it a listen to this podcast. And please subscribe, share with your friends and family, rate and review. And I am looking forward to your constructive feedback and comments.

Do visit my website for current information and updates. You are welcome to send your queries, questions, comments, and let me know how the podcast helps you.

I also plan to conduct a retreat or two after the month of fasting. Which is Ramadan, the month of fasting for Muslims has started from May 6th and will continue till June 4th according to the calculation method. I am leaving the link below for people to learn how the Fiqh Council of North America explains their way of calculating these dates for the month of fasting. http://fiqhcouncil.org/ramadan-shawwal-1440-2019/
