Were our parents actually happier in marriage or were they just better at enduring? And more importantly… what are we supposed to do with that information?

In this episode, we push back on nostalgia, challenge modern assumptions, and wrestle with what really worked for previous generations and what quietly broke people. This isn’t a history lesson, it’s about pulling out practical takeaways for single Muslims today: what to keep, what to unlearn, and what not to repeat just because it’s familiar.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “our parents stayed no matter what” and “our generation gives up too fast,” this conversation gives you tools to think differently about marriage, expectations, and long-term commitment.

Got that quiet fear of “what if they change after marriage?” You’re not paranoid, and you’re definitely not alone. In this episode, we talk honestly about why some people seem to “flip” after marriage, and how that moment usually isn’t sudden at all… we just didn’t know what to look for.

We unpack the pressure to perform during courtship, the ways faith language can be misused to avoid accountability, and how character shows up long before a ring does. You’ll hear stories, patterns, and hard-earned lessons from years of community work, all shared without fear-mongering or cynicism.

He has big ideas. Side hustles. Business dreams. And you’re sitting there thinking: Is this vision… or a red flag?

Today we get real about marrying someone with entrepreneurial goals, especially in today’s economy. We talk stability vs potential, faith vs fantasy, and why “just trust me” isn’t a plan. I (Hiba) share a story about how my ex's 'aspirations' cost me all my savings one day!

We unpack the questions that reveal whether a dream is grounded or risky, how support can turn into resentment, and what real partnership actually looks like when money isn’t guaranteed yet.
