Muslimah Asma Bawla

I can’t believe I’m finishing up my second year of law school! I talk about the highs and lows of the year, bad and good habits, why I’m so glad I didn’t get into a top 30 law school, advice for incoming law students, and more!

In this episode, Mariam and I talk about our Costa Rica sisters trip we took this past month and reflect on the nature we saw, the adventures we had, and most of all, the beautiful friendships and sisterhood we created!

We also talk about feminine energy and how hard it is to be feminine when working in a corporate, male-dominated environment. We discuss strategies on how to balance being feminine while also establishing financial stability and a career we are proud of.

Have you felt disconnected from the Quran lately, or want to develop a closer relationship with the text? Dr. Zainab Alwani is an expert on tadabbur, or contemplation, and she tells us how to open our locked hearts and let the Quran change our lives. Once a relationship with the Quran is created, you will never want to let go, and the way you see the world and treat others around you will change significantly. Dr. Zainab provides some practical tips for us to reach this type of relationship while also having a busy life with many distractions.

Note: The four ayahs about tadabbur in the Quran that Dr. Zainab mentions are (4:82), (47:24), (23:68), & (38:29).

Want to know what law school is *really* like?? In this solo episode I talk about the reflections of my first year—the classes, the friends, the stress :) I’ve learned a lot through this first year and I hope you can benefit from my lessons and advice! This episode is a MUST LISTEN if you’re thinking about going to law school or going in the near future! I’m sharing so many things I wish I knew before going in.

In the second part of our conversation, Aisha and I talk about “If he wanted to, he would” and what questions to ask when you are first talking to someone for marriage. We also talk about Muslim dating apps and how to use them!! You don’t want to miss out on this episode :)

“The Talking Stage” sounds scary, doesn’t it?? As Muslim women we are often thrown into the marriage conversation when just two seconds ago we were told not to talk to boys at all! Aisha and I talk about this process and how to prepare yourself for this next stage of life. We both share some experiences and the ups and downs of being a single muslim woman, and how to navigate getting to know someone and seeing if they could be your better half. We also identify some red and green flags to look out for when getting to know someone! If you are 18 or older and you want to know more about how to navigate this, this is the episode for you! As the host, I learned so much from Aisha and I hope that you do as well!
