Are You Too Religious For Some, Too Liberal For Others?
Manage episode 521606789 series 3565222
Today we get into the messy reality of being a single Muslim in a world obsessed with labels. We talk about how people use “religious,” “conservative,” and “liberal” as shortcuts instead of actually getting to know someone—and how that leaves so many amazing matches dismissed before the first conversation even starts.
We also dig into family judgments, unfair assumptions, and what happens when someone is written off because of their parents, not their own character. If you’re tired of being boxed in, misunderstood, or filtered out by vibes instead of values, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
