    Episode 5 — They Didn’t Leave, They Just Stopped Coming: On illness, inconvenience, and the quiet ways families disappear

    In this episode, I tell a story about a woman who was once the center of everything — the one who showed up, remembered everything, and carried more than anyone realized. And what happens when she can’t anymore. What happens when someone who was always there suddenly… isn’t the same. This episode isn’t just about illness.It’s about presence, absence, and the quiet ways people start to disappear without ever actually leaving. It’s about how love changes when it becomes inconvenient. If this resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. ... في هذه الحلقة، أحكي قصة امرأة كانت يومًا محور كل شيء — الشخص الذي كان حاضرًا دائمًا، يتذكر كل التفاصيل، ويحمل أكثر مما يظنه الجميع. وماذا يحدث عندما لم تعد قادرة على ذلك. ماذا يحدث عندما يتغير شخص كان دائمًا موجود… فجأة لم يعد كما كان. هذه الحلقة ليست فقط عن المرض،بل عن الحضور والغياب، والطرق الصامتة التي يبدأ فيها الناس بالاختفاء دون أن يغادروا فعليًا. عن كيف يتغير الحب عندما يصبح عبئًا. إذا لمستك هذه الحلقة، شاركها مع شخص قد يحتاج أن يسمعها.

    Episode 2 – Bro Codes: علوم الرجاجيل

    Bro Codes — the unwritten rules of male friendship that somehow every guy just knows. From the funny to the ridiculous, and even the ones that hurt more than they help… we’re unpacking all of it. But it’s not all jokes because the strongest bro code? Might just be the one no one talks about. ••• علوم الرجاجيل— قوانين الصداقة بين الشباب اللي ما تنقال، بس الكل يعرفها. من المضحك إلى الغريب، وحتى اللي يسبب أذى أكثر من فايدة… بنتكلم عن كل شي. بس ما راح تكون كلها ضحك — لأن أقوى كود؟ يمكن يكون اللي ما حد يجرؤ يتكلم عنه.

    Episode 1- Narcissistic Friendships: The Pain No One Talks About

    In this episode, I’m sharing a story that’s rarely talked about, the story of a narcissistic friendship. No big fight. No official goodbye. Just quiet manipulation, emotional exhaustion, and the kind of pain that’s hard to explain. If you’ve ever felt drained, replaced, or ghosted by someone you called your best friend — this one’s for you.
