Save Our Sisters Unplugged

What happens when one woman loses almost everything—but refuses to let hardship determine her children’s future? In this powerful episode of Save Our Sisters Unplugged, Norine Fahie sits down with Axay Shah to honor the woman who helped shape the man he became: his mother, Nalini. Widowed at just 38 years old and left to raise five children, Nalini faced grief, financial hardship, cultural judgment, and tremendous responsibility. Yet she continued moving forward, returned to school, became a teacher, and built a foundation of education, perseverance, and self-reliance for her children. For the first time publicly, Axay shares his mother’s story and reflects on the sacrifices he didn’t fully understand as a child, the lessons he recognizes differently as a husband, father, and grandfather, and the lasting influence one determined woman can have across generations. This conversation is about more than surviving hardship. It’s about motherhood, widowhood, resilience, sacrifice, education, legacy, and the quiet strength of women whose impact often reaches further than they will ever know.

What happens when burnout, a health crisis, and midlife force you to rethink everything? In this episode of Save Our Sisters Unplugged, Norine Fahie sits down with Ingrid Bayer, bestselling author, international speaker, facilitator, and advocate for women navigating change and reinvention. After emergency spinal surgery and the realization that she was completely burned out, Ingrid began a deeply personal journey of healing, rediscovery, and finding her way back to herself. We talk about recognizing burnout, releasing identities that no longer fit, rediscovering your voice, redefining success, and having the courage to begin again. We also discuss Ingrid’s book, Not Done Yet: A Journey Back to You, and its powerful reminder that midlife is not the end—it can be the beginning of a more honest, aligned, and fulfilling chapter. If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I now?” or felt the pull to reinvent your life, this conversation is for you.

In this special Sister Wisdom Wednesday episode, I’m celebrating 5 incredible years of the Save Our Sisters Unplugged podcast and reflecting on the journey that started with a simple mission: creating a space where women can share their stories, speak their truth, and uplift one another. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of listening to courageous women share their journeys of resilience, faith, survival, and growth. Every conversation reminds me that storytelling has the power to inspire, empower, and heal. In this Podcastversary reflection, I share 5 lessons I’ve learned from 5 years of podcasting, including: ✨ Why consistency builds trust ✨ The healing power of storytelling ✨ Why you don’t have to be perfect to start ✨ The importance of using your voice ✨ How community makes the journey meaningful Thank you to every guest, listener, and supporter who has been part of this journey. Your support has helped create powerful conversations and stories that heal. 📚 Inspired by many of the conversations shared on this podcast, my book The Bonds of Sisterhood: A Guide to Building Your Tribe encourages women to reflect on their journeys, strengthen their relationships, and intentionally build supportive sisterhood.
