From Theory to Practice: Enforcing Your Boundaries | Part 2
Welcome back to the second half of our deep dive into boundaries!
In Part 1, we broke down why setting boundaries feels so complicated. In Part 2, we are moving from theory to practice. We discuss the hardest part of the process: the follow-through. It’s one thing to say you have a boundary; it’s another to hold the line when you’re met with guilt, pushback, or silence. We get real about the messy "aftermath" of saying no, navigating the fear of rejection, and why protecting your peace is actually the kindest thing you can do for your r...
Why Boundaries Are Simple, But Never Easy | Part 1
Is setting a boundary an act of self-care, or does it feel like self-betrayal?
In this multi-part episode, we are stripping away the "therapy speak" to get to the real heart of why boundaries are so difficult to set—especially when your gender or your culture demands you put everyone else first.
We explore how the word "No" shapes our identity, the spiritual conflict between service and self-protection, and the rebellious act of drawing a line with the people we love the most.
In this conversation, we unpack:

Is Privacy Dead? The Spiritual Cost of Being Watched
When the "Kiss Cam" landed on a couple at a Coldplay concert, the crowd cheered—until the couple’s terrified reaction went viral. Within hours, the internet had identified them as a tech CEO and his HR executive, both married to other people, and destroyed their careers and personal lives.
But beyond the scandal and the schadenfreude, this incident raises a terrifying question for all of us: Is privacy dead?
In this episode of Unscripted, Lubna and Hawa dive deep into the "Coldplay Incident" to explore the clash between privacy and morality. We often say, "If y...

On Spirituality | Unscripted with Lubna & Hawa
This week, we are pulling back the curtain on our novice path—the one where you realize there’s more than what you were taught, but you don't yet have the answers!
We share our elementary ideas and the early steps we’re taking toward understanding spirituality, moving past dogma, and trying to grasp the basics of esoteric wisdom and humanity's purpose. If you're looking for guidance from polished gurus, this isn't it. We are simply two curious friends trying to make sense of it all.
Thank you (as always) for listening.
