What happens when a woman escapes radical Islam, not in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia, but in Canada, and then refuses to stay quiet about it? In this episode, I sit down with Yasmine Mohammed, a prominent human rights activist, bestselling author, podcast host, and co-founder of the Clarity Coalition, whose work sits at the intersection of Western values and radical Islam. Yasmine penned the critically acclaimed book Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims, and her eponymous podcast has cemented her as one of the most vital voices in the ongoing dialogue on faith, culture, and human rights. She shares her harrowing personal story of growing up inside what she describes as the most powerful cult in the world, enduring abuse, forced veiling, and an honor-based threat on her own life from her mother. She opens up about how becoming a mother was the single catalyst that finally broke the cycle and set her free. We talk about why Western liberals turn a blind eye to the suffering of Muslim women and girls, how the term Islamophobia has been weaponized to silence survivors and critics alike, how October 7th woke people up to a threat that Yasmine has been warning about for years, and why the most radical act a woman in her position can do is simply refuse to stop talking. Her story is one that every person in the West needs to hear. If this conversation moves you, please leave a comment, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. This is exactly the kind of dialogue that changes minds and saves lives.

Are modern culture and technology quietly pulling us away from faith, family, and authentic community? In this episode of The Tammy Peterson Podcast, I sit down with bestselling Catholic author Emily Chapman to explore the deeper spiritual questions surrounding motherhood, infertility, hospitality, and the meaning of family life. Emily shares her journey through years of infertility, her reflections on adoption and IVF, and how her faith shaped her understanding of dignity, sacrifice, and surrender. We also discuss the loneliness epidemic in modern culture, why community and hospitality matter more than ever, and the cultural narratives that discourage young women from embracing motherhood and family life. Emily Chapman is a Catholic author, speaker, and mother of three whose work explores faith, scripture, family life, and the beauty of everyday domestic life through a sacramental worldview. If this conversation resonates with you, please share your thoughts in the comments and subscribe for more conversations about faith, culture, and meaning.

Modern education has lost its sense of history, meaning, and moral orientation—and I believe that loss is shaping how our children see the world and themselves. In this episode, I sit down with Michael, a lifelong educator and the Founder and President of the Catholic Textbook Project, to explore why history must be taught as story rather than fragmented facts, and why faith, imagination, and truth are essential to real education. Drawing on his 35 years in Catholic education, his background in classical liberal arts, and his work as a former headmaster and educational leader, Michael explains how removing Christianity from the teaching of Western civilization distorts our understanding of culture, virtue, and human purpose. We discuss the dangers of modern social studies models, the importance of teaching children through flawed but redemptive historical figures, and how parents and educators can help restore wisdom, courage, and hope in the next generation. I invite you to listen thoughtfully, share your reflections in the comments, and subscribe if you value meaningful conversations about faith, culture, and the formation of the human person.

What happens when a 200 pound weight loss, a radical health transformation, and a renewed faith collide in one life changing journey? In this episode of the Tammy Peterson Podcast, I sit down with Bruce Langworthy to explore how removing sugar, simplifying his diet, and committing to disciplined daily habits helped restore his body, sharpen his mind, and deepen his spiritual clarity. Bruce shares his experience with chronic illness, inflammation, brain fog, and how a carnivore-based approach, combined with gratitude, prayer, and personal responsibility, reshaped not only his physical health but his entire outlook on life. As a longtime software professional, Bruce brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective to healing, discipline, and modern living. This conversation is about far more than weight loss, it is about reclaiming agency, purpose, and hope. I invite you to listen, reflect, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more honest conversations about healing, faith, and personal transformation.
