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.

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/
