In this episode, Nabeela and Zuha discuss what validation is and how to do it, and what grief is, and how we respond to it in the wrong ways. Disclaimer: There's some static in the audio for the first five minutes or so. In sha Allah (God willing), this will be the last time our audio sounds like it was recorded on a potato.

In this episode, Zuha and Nabeela introduce you to themselves, their friendship, and the podcast. They somehow manage to touch on veganism, Islam, a little sprinkle of philosophy, and a little more throughout the episode. (Sorry about all the commas, Zuha, who is writing this description, can't help it. It's weird to refer to yourself in the third-person too. Please help.)
