HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINSSSS!!!!

This week we were joined by a very special guest, Hodan Osman - a social worker who pivoted to faith-based therapy and more recently opened up her own practice, ma sha Allah! In this episode, Hodan sat down with us to talk about her journey to becoming a therapist, the stigma behind mental health and thoughts on AI therapy.

You know what to do...grab your snacks, turn us all the way up while you clean, chill, or drive, and hang out with us like always. We appreciate every single one of you, cousins – your comments, your DMs, your support. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode!

WE LOVE YALL ❤️
