This week we spoke about so many different topics ranging from Daylight Savings causing alleged health risks, Facebook's name change and how it will influence the rise of VR in our day to day lives. We also talked about the unfortunate tragedy at the musical festival during Travis Scott's performance and how our lack of empathy has reached new extremes. We later discussed the rise in "internet shaykhs", cancel culture within the Islamic community and how important it is to make sure you are acquiring your religious knowledge from trustworthy sources and not just on a random website.

This week we decided to slow down the vibe and get a bit more vulnerable (more than we already have). We discussed how we found ourselves during our healing process, unlearning toxic habits, how to give yourself grace and allow yourself to make mistakes along the way, and how Adele's new song has taken on a bigger meaning to Millennials.

In this week's episode, we talked about whether it was time for Amir to move out of his parents' house now that he's approaching 30 and how he has developed habits that has taught him independence while still living with his parents. We also discussed different business economic models and how it impacts the overall success of a company. Later, we talked about the different TV shows and movies that made us cry (especially Amir). We ended this episode off with Amir breaking down Avengers: End Game to Sara and....let's just say, he was pretty disappointed lol.

In this week's episode, we covered a number of different topics but our focus this week was as the title of this video states: the pursuit of happiness. We discussed what it means to be happy now in your current situation and not chasing your happiness at the next destination in your life. We related it to personal situations and how our religion also teaches us to be grateful and content with what we have.

In this week's episode, we talk about every Canadian's worst nightmare: having a rough Winter. Every year as soon as the weather starts to cool down, the reports and warnings start swirling around to prepare Canadians for "the WORST winter Canada has ever experienced" sending us all into a frenzy...and somehow we're always surprised by the news and the amount of snow we end up getting.   

We discussed the difference between Asian/Latin and American TV shows and movies that are on the rise to popularity (mostly thanks to Netflix).

We also talk about Sara's struggles with weight gain during the pandemic and how that has impacted her mindset on her self-worth and shopping experience. Are any of y'all going through this? We want to hear your thoughts on how you've dealt with the changes to your body or how you managed to overcome feeling down about yourself. And if you haven't reach out to us and we'd love to share any advice from our experiences!

In this week's episode, Amir made us relive our not-so-finer moments in life, those anxiety inducing, keep you up at night type of moments. We had a good laugh remember these times but trust me...I think we both have a little bit of PTSD lol. We hope you enjoy our stories and if you have some of your own...don't be shy, tell us 👀

In this week's episode of the Cousin Connection Podcast, we addressed the difference between Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence as a continuation of our discussion from Episode 19 - Self Doubt (ps. if you haven't listened to that episode yet, go check it out!).  We then went on to talk about some of the experiences we've had as first generation Harari-Canadians which I'm sure aren't so unique to us -- we have quickly realized that a lot of us have had similar, if not EXACT experiences.

In this week's episode, we have finally transitioned to YouTube!! We went over a bunch of different topics including "gym-bro behaviour", when it's time to let go of a book without finishing it, Sara recalls her traumatizing ski trip and Amir's first YouTube video titled "Ski Trip and Fall" LOL. We also discussed our experiences with seasonal depression and how we have tried to combat it over the years, seeing someone you know after a very long time and whether we say hi first or avoid them like the plague (you can take a wild guess of which one we chose). We also went through some questions that we suggested by one of our wonderful listeners. Check out our YouTube Channel - Cousin Connection Podcast and subscribe to our channel!
