This episode is a real one.

After reading some of your comments from the last episode, over on the other app we knew we had to go deeper. We’re talking about things that aren’t always easy to say out loud eating disorders, the pressure of the heat online, and the hate directed at Hannah.

But it’s bigger than that.

It’s about the expectations placed on women’s bodies. Who sets them? Why do we internalise them? And what does it actually cost us to keep trying to meet them?

This conversation is honest, uncomfortable at times, but necessary. Because behind every comment, every comparison, every “ideal” there are real people navigating it in real time.

Thank you for opening up the conversation with us. 🤍

None of this noise, pressure, or hate will ever change we are.

This dilemma is wild…

A girl writes in about her sister allegedly stealing her business ID and now expects her to show up at her wedding like nothing happened.

So she’s made a decision: she’s not going.

But is she right? Or is this taking things too far?

We break down the situation, give our honest opinions, and talk about family, boundaries, and betrayal.

PLUS we introduce our new segment: The Redacted Files 👀

Some stories are just too messy…

We also catch up and get into everything you’ve missed.

What would YOU do in this situation? Let us know in the comments.

Eid prep turned into pure chaos 😭🌙

In this episode, we’re talking all things Eid from our go-to shops and outfit planning to the most RANDOM argument about who deserves to wear cheetah print (???)

But it also gets real. We open up about wearing the hijab, not wearing the hijab, and the different pressures, choices, and experiences around it honest, unfiltered, and from our own perspectives.

This week on Friday Briefing with Hannah and Nadiya, we’re catching up as Ramadan comes to an end (how did the month go so fast?!). We talk about the last 10 nights, both of us getting sick at the worst possible time, and the unexpected rise of the Matcha Boys calm down ladies!

In this week’s briefing we also address some online commotion, react to clips from Blue Therapy, and read a listener message from Ethan.

Then we get into the real conversation: jealousy in friendships. After seeing a viral TikTok about a girl openly talking about hating her friend, we unpack the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the people closest to you might not actually want the best for you.

In today’s Briefing Box we’re discussing why not every long-term friend is someone you should keep close. From friends who repeat your private conversations, to people who constantly assume the worst about others, to being called “too religious” for trying to guide someone away from bad behaviour we’ve seen it all.

Plus we share a dilemma from a listener and give our honest advice.

Because sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is this:

some friendships are meant for a season, not a lifetime.
