We are back! Sorry for the delay, this summer vacation got the best of us. Here's a fresh new episode however to listen to where we bring up a a concern from a listener who explains her dilemma of family members being unwilling to take accountability of making racist comments. What do you do when a family member says something racist — and instead of owning it, they flip the script and make themselves the victim? In this episode, we unpack the emotional and mental toll of confronting racism within our own families, especially when accountability is met with deflection, denial, or tears.

Happy Sunday people! We’re back with a new episode doing what we love most: listening to your dilemmas and sharing our thoughts on the topic. This week, we dive into a topic that many of us have faced: What do you do when the people you love don’t support the person you love? We talk about how complicated it can get when family expectations, cultural values, or personal opinions clash with who we choose to love. We hope this episode can be a reminder that you’re not alone if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the middle.🎧 Tune in for advice, reflection, and a little love.

In this episode, we talk about the rollercoaster that is summer with kids — the joy, the chaos, and the overwhelm. We talk about the emotional weight that can come with preparing for travel, especially when it means saying goodbye to family. We reflect on the dips in mood that come with big transitions, and how it’s okay to feel down — as long as we find our way back up again. We also get into the price we pay for having loved ones in different parts of the world and most importantly - does Agnes even know how to pronounce her own name? Happy listening!

In this episode, Agnes and Fatma unpack the complex and often uncomfortable topic of white saviorism—especially in the context of international volunteering. Drawing from personal stories and cultural observations, they explore how good intentions can sometimes reinforce harmful power dynamics, and why awareness, humility, and accountability are key when stepping into spaces abroad. Whether you’ve volunteered, plan to, or are just curious, this is a must-listen conversation on doing good—thoughtfully.
