How Much To Share About Your Past?
Manage episode 508565257 series 3565222
“Should I tell them about my past?” It’s the question that makes every single Muslim pause. And let’s be real, our communities don’t make it easier. Men often get a pass, while women get judged twice as hard for the same mistakes.
In this episode, we confront the myths and double standards around sharing your past in marriage conversations. What must be disclosed, and what belongs between you and Allah? And how do you talk about sensitive topics without trauma dumping or oversharing? If you’ve ever feared your past would ruin your future, this episode flips the script and puts the focus back where it belongs: who you are today.
