In this episode, we unpack the clash between collectivist cultures and individualistic ideals. We talk about what it means to carry one another through grief and joy. Reflecting on how community can be deeply nourishing and emotionally demanding, and how commercialization has turned human connection into a burden. We also explore women’s role in preserving family stories and lineage. This episode is a discussion on how to honor community without burning ourselves out, and why choosing not to live in solitude remains a radical act.

في الحلقة دي، بنتكلم عن الصدام بين الثقافات الجماعية والفكر الفردي. بنناقش معنى إننا نقف جنب بعض في الحزن والفرح، وإزاي المجتمع ممكن يكون مصدر دعم كبير وفي نفس الوقت يتطلب مجهود عاطفي. كمان بنستكشف دور الستات في الحفاظ على قصص العيلة وذكرياتها. الحلقة دي مناقشة عن إزاي نقدر نحافظ على التكاتف الإجتماعي من غير ما نرهق نفسنا، وليه اختيارنا لعدم العيشة في عزلة لسه فعل مهم وجريء.
