Ever wondered why you were taught how to apply for a student loan but not taught how to actually know how much you'd need to live away from home as a student? Or why you were taught how bake an apple pie in high school but not a meal that you could actually survive on? The true meaning of home economics has been lost on many of us owing to the schooling or lack thereof we have had on the wider subject of managing our money. This podcast is a primer for anyone who feels nervous, overwhelm, or vulnerable when it comes to the relationship between you and your finances and would like to feel more familiar in this space.

Have you ever wondered how to share an achievement with your nearest and dearest without reminding them of the things that are missing in their own lives? Following on from the last podcast covering how to hold space when receiving news, this episode tackles the reverse situation and considers how we might improve our skills in delivering 'bad' news. 

Do you ever find yourself seemingly saying all the wrong things to a loved one that you're trying hard to support? In this episode we discuss how well intended conversations can easily miss the point when we forget to hold space for the one we're conversing with. 

How do you approach the topic of praying at work when you're new to the job or have simply decided to make prayer in its prescribed time a priority in your life? Tune in to hear us discuss the awkwardness surrounding the ask, as well as some of the strangest work places we've been allocated to pray, both in the office and when out visiting clients or conferencing.

In this episode we reflect on how racial discrimination surfaces within the UK Muslim community, the marginalisation of Black Muslims and how we might begin to course-correct the bias within our own selves, in line with Islamic teachings.
