Grief, Faith & Fatherhood: the conversation nobody prepares you for

Grief, loss, and faith: a conversation we don't have nearly enough as Desi dads. This episode of NaanSense! is a bit different. It's heavier, more vulnerable, and deeply personal. Sajid opens up about losing his mom to dementia. Emad shares about losing his younger brother at 19. And Ahmed reflects on the loss of his mother-in-law and how kids process grief.We get into: •⁠ ⁠Losing a loved one — and the complicated process of watching someone age and decline •⁠ ⁠How kids handle grief (and mirror us more than we think) •⁠ ⁠Spiritual bypassing — saying the "right things" vs. actually sitting with the pain •⁠ ⁠Whether men in Desi culture have real space to grieve •⁠ ⁠The role of faith, sabr, and the hope of reuniting •⁠ ⁠How community shows up (and sometimes misses the mark) •⁠ ⁠Celebrating life — not just mourning lossPlus: Riz Ahmed's new show "Bait," Omar Suleiman's Barzakh series, and a Bell Hooks quote that reframes how we think about love and death.NaanSense! is a funny, honest, and real take on fatherhood, parenting, culture, and life after 40 — all from the perspective of South Asian / Desi dads. This week, the "real" part hits a little harder.📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naansenseshow🔔 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NaanSenseShow 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/naansense/id1834598344 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/38cCfJ5QfgeOCW80nPJ3mjHosts: Ahmed, Sajid & Emad | Producer: Salman#grief #DesiDads #NaanSenseShow #FatherhoodPodcast

Where Do I Belong? Ramadan, Identity & Finding Your People #belonging #ramadan #podcast

What does it really mean to belong?The NaanSense! dads dive into one of the most human questions of all — where do we actually feel at home… and why does that feeling change over time?From growing up between cultures to navigating faith, family, and community, they unpack the difference between belonging and just fitting in. They talk about immigrant identity, finding connection in unexpected places, and how Ramadan can both deepen and challenge our sense of community.This conversation is also shaped by something deeply personal — the loss of a mother. Grief, memory, and love have a way of redefining what “home” feels like, and the guys reflect on how loss can reshape identity, connection, and where we find comfort.Is belonging about being accepted… or being understood? Does it come from people, place, faith — or something deeper? And why does it sometimes feel like you’re never fully “enough” anywhere?🎙 NaanSense! Funny, honest, and deeply relatable — this is a conversation about identity, connection, loss, and what it means to find your people in a world that keeps changing.👆 Subscribe on YouTube 📸 Follow on Instagram → @naansenseshow 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts🎙️ Hosts: Ahmed, Sajid & Emad | 🎬 Producer: Salman #belonging #ramadanreflections #dadlife #identity #naansenseshow
