    7. Mommy wars only exist among snitches

    My 2 best friends didn't breastfeed, I did. I was a stay at home mom when my best friend was a working mom and vice versa.   Not once did she upset me about my choices and I did not either. Why? Because I am a not a **** (AKA snitch) join me in this episode as I would like to chat with you about why I think mommy wars do not exist, and if you feel they do, you might be surrounded by too many snithces. Snitches who are not supportive, they always find a reaosn to make you feel bad, they give too much unwanted advice, and always show off about their husbands, diamonds, kids, parenting choices or something else. Share with me your thoughts afterwards!

It is titled "Men need to level up"   It starts with a story If I told you my friend Moe has been working in a company and has moved 10 positions but still has an entry position, would you believe it?

    1. More than a bride - منشوفك عروس

    I have a pet peeve, and I think you either have this pet peeve too, or by the end of the episode you might start to have it!   I believe in the middle east, there's a lot that we do right like having great family values, but also, I believe there is a lot that we do so wrong. I believe as a society we set women up for unrealistic expectations, unbelievably high demands, and limit their roles.   This episode is about one thing I think we collectively do wrong. I am waiting so badly to hear your opinion on this.   Please leave a review of the podcast as it would mean the world to me and of course subscribe so you can be notified of each episode.
