This Stays Between Us is more than just a podcast; it is a quiet revolution. It is a mic being passed to the girl sitting at the back. A gentle uproar against the systems that told us our worth as women lies in silence, in stillness, in being small.

Here, I gather the stories that live in the corners — unspoken, untold, tucked beneath generations of “what will people say?” Through intimate monologues, cultural reckoning, and gentle faith reflections, I invite you to remember the girl you were before the world taught you to hide her. With each episode, I peel back the layers of shame, expectation, and silence stitched into the seams of culture. I talk about body image, healing, modesty, desire, faith, and the quiet power of coming home to yourself.

Here, nothing is too small to matter.
Here, in this reflective space, this stays between us.

  • S4 Ep 1: On algebra and Al Jabbar
    Jul 26 2026

    As an engineer, I've never felt comfortable with the unknown. Solving for x and y is one of the hardest tasks, because I like the certainty of knowing which equation to use and when. But as a Muslim especially, it is important for me to relinquish the need for control, and surrender to Allah. The question is ... how? How do you trust your Lord? I'm not an expert, but I wrote a reflective essay and I found a clarity worth sharing, that can hopefully help you and me to develop tawakkul (complete reliance upon Allah).

    Jul 19 2026

    In this episode, Eden and I will be talking about how important it is to be kind to yourself and to look after yourself as an eldest daughter. It is easy to put other people first, but what about you? What is it that you would like out of life? Join us as we unpack what it means to be kind, present and compassionate. You can also take some inspiration from us as we share what hobbies we like to do to unwind!

  • S3 Ep 8: It's Not That Deep, with Moka
    Jun 14 2026

    In this episode, I sit with Moka - an engineer, designer and secret poetic genius - who tells me about how she would tell her younger self to be grateful for each phase of her life, from being a college student to a university student, and to not worry so much. She describes her journey during a Design Project (DP) at university and how even though it was difficult, she got through it and became a stronger engineer! For the students among us who often worry about whether they'll make it - just remember, it's not that deep, and you've got this.
