In Persian, “Persian New Year” is called نوروز (Nowruz).

• نور (now) = new
• روز (ruz) = day

So it literally means “New Day.”

It marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian calendar 🌸✨

Here I am demonstrating my family’s Haft-Seen (هفت‌سین)

A Haft-Seen (هفت‌سین) traditional table setting for Nowruz (Persian New Year).

The Haft-Seen table represents new beginnings, hope, and balance for the new year. Families gather around it at the exact moment of spring.

The 7 S’s include to following symbolic items:

Sabzeh (سبزه) – wheat barley or lentil sprouts → rebirth

Samanu (سمنو) – sweet pudding → affluence

Senjed (سنجد) – dried fruit of Oleaster tree → love

Sír (سیر) – garlic → medicine

Seeb (سیب) – apple → beauty & health

Somāq (سماق) – sumac → sunrise

Serkeh (سرکه) – vinegar → aging & patience

We also included other common items :

A Mirror (cleanness and honesty)

Candles (happiness)

Coins (wealth)

Painted eggs (fertility)

A book (Quran or poetry by Hafez)

Rosewater(magical cleansing powers)

Happy نوروز (Nowruz) 🌸✨

Today on St. Patrick’s Day, I’m honoring my beautiful grandma on what would have been her 108th birthday 💚🍀She was the definition of love, strength, and grace—and her presence still lives on.This tribute is a small way to celebrate her life, her legacy, and the impact she had on our family.Happy Heavenly Birthday, Grandma—you are forever in our hearts.

Today’s episode is a really special one for me. I’m sitting down with my son, Kaivon — and honestly, it still feels surreal to say that.

I’ve watched him go from making music in his room, just chasing a dream, to performing on stages all over the world. And as his mom… that’s been pretty incredible to witness.

If you know Kaivon’s music, you know it’s emotional. It pulls you in. And with this new album, I feel like we’re hearing a new side of him. It feels more reflective. There’s a lot of heart in it — themes of growth, change, and becoming your true self. I think that’s something we can all relate to.

What I admire most is that he’s never just made music to sound good — he makes it to make you feel something. And this album really does that. So today, we’re going to talk about the journey — the music, the growth, — and maybe even a few things only a mom would know. I’m so proud of him… and I’m really excited for you to hear this conversation.
