    24 Lessons Before 24

    Hello, Hello! Been a while, I know.

Hope you enjoy! Send me your favorite lesson # at https://www.instagram.com/thenouryouknowpodcast/ 1.) Free will may be a facade, but live life as it if is and treat others as if it doesn’t 2.) Bumper stickers are obnoxious 3.) Use an HSA as a retirement account versus a savings account      HSA Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhfTiuF8Yzk 4.) It’s really hard to transition to post grad life… especially during a pandemic 5.) The relationship with yourself is the longest relationship you will have Give yourself some grace 6.) You’re going to be the villain in someone’s story It’s easier to accept it rather than to fight it 7.) Before you leave your hometown, travel 8.)

    Proudly Being the Disappointing Child

    Hello, Hello!! And welcome back to the nour you know podcast. Well, Nour has been gone for a bit. She moved, finished a grad class, and has been carrying guilt the weight of 100 camels on her back. Pleasing an Arab-American family --at least her’s-- isn't easy, to say the least. You may be forced to hide major parts of your life from them to maintain their approval or their "unconditional love". You may ruminate over the thought of their disapproval, anger, and lack of support of your decisions. You may feel the urge to question your decision-making and switch to autopilot, assuming your parents must always know what is best. Today, Nour wants to share the internal conflict that has been replaying in her head for the past four months, and how she eventually decided to be honest about something she knew would alter her family dynamic forever. To all those who are dealing with making a decision you know is best for you but won't get the approval of your family, she wants to reach out to you personally and let you know your emotions: fear, distress, anxiety, and whatever have you are valid. If you need someone to vent to or a shoulder to cry on, her DMs are open. You’ll get through this in one piece, stronger and freer than ever.

    I'm Going to Sound Like a "Pick Me" Girl But...

    Hello, hello! Today Nour shares her honest opinions on why she sounds like a "pick me" girl. First the lighthearted ones and then later she dives into the heavy topics --did you expect anything else?-- of feminism and why there's no big bad patriarchy to dismantle. She talks about the biological differences between men and women, the simpson's paradox, and the gender equality paradox to make her case that there are better ways to improve the lives of women rather than letting them fall in a victim complex.  Homeless Period Project: https://www.homelessperiodproject.org/ The Marshall Project: https://www.themarshallproject.org/records/5342-feminine-hygiene-products-in-prisons-jails Harvard Study: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/10/financial-risk-taking-behavior-is-associated-with-higher-testosterone/ Ted Talk "Brave, Not Perfect": https://www.ted.com/talks/reshma_saujani_teach_girls_bravery_not_perfection?language=en Gender Pay Gap: https://www.forbes.com/sites/karinagness/2016/04/12/dont-buy-into-the-gender-pay-gap-myth/?sh=5751d0a42596 Gender Pay Gap Part 2: https://thesuffolkjournal.com/28647/opinion/the-gender-wage-gap-is-a-myth/ Gender Equality Paradox: http://eprints.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/id/eprint/4753/6/symplectic-version.pdf&hl=es&sa=X&scisig=AAGBfm0xrcWbSjaOYwGIpValYtXniLgxIA&nossl=1&oi=scholarr
