My Sister Stole My Business idea… So I’m Skipping Her Wedding 😳

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:51:05 GMT

This dilemma is wild…

A girl writes in about her sister allegedly stealing her business ID and now expects her to show up at her wedding like nothing happened.

So she’s made a decision: she’s not going.

But is she right? Or is this taking things too far?

We break down the situation, give our honest opinions, and talk about family, boundaries, and betrayal.

PLUS we introduce our new segment: The Redacted Files 👀

Some stories are just too messy…

We also catch up and get into everything you’ve missed.

What would YOU do in this situation? Let us know in the comments.

She Said I Don’t Deserve Cheetah Print… On Eid 😭

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Eid prep turned into pure chaos 😭🌙

In this episode, we’re talking all things Eid from our go-to shops and outfit planning to the most RANDOM argument about who deserves to wear cheetah print (???)

But it also gets real. We open up about wearing the hijab, not wearing the hijab, and the different pressures, choices, and experiences around it honest, unfiltered, and from our own perspectives.

Your Best Friend Might Be Your Biggest Hater… Let’s Talk About It

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

This week on Friday Briefing with Hannah and Nadiya, we’re catching up as Ramadan comes to an end (how did the month go so fast?!). We talk about the last 10 nights, both of us getting sick at the worst possible time, and the unexpected rise of the Matcha Boys calm down ladies!

In this week’s briefing we also address some online commotion, react to clips from Blue Therapy, and read a listener message from Ethan.

Then we get into the real conversation: jealousy in friendships. After seeing a viral TikTok about a girl openly talking about hating her friend, we unpack the uncomfortable truth that sometimes the people closest to you might not actually want the best for you.

In today’s Briefing Box we’re discussing why not every long-term friend is someone you should keep close. From friends who repeat your private conversations, to people who constantly assume the worst about others, to being called “too religious” for trying to guide someone away from bad behaviour we’ve seen it all.

Plus we share a dilemma from a listener and give our honest advice.

Because sometimes the hardest lesson to learn is this:

some friendships are meant for a season, not a lifetime.

Pretty Punishment and Life as a triple threat...

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Being pretty is a privilege until it becomes a punishment. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to be a “triple threat”: ambitious, self-aware, and visibly put-together, while still carrying real pressure behind the scenes.

Public Cheating, Public Judgment & Playing It Smart

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

It’s only January and the internet is already on fire.

In Part 1 of this week’s briefing, we unpack social media breakups, cheating allegations playing out online, and the pressure of having your relationship judged in real time. We talk strategy over impulse when silence is power, when speaking up backfires, and how public humiliation changes the way you move.

We also get into reality TV chaos (Traitors UK vs US, Love Island fatigue), navigating public perception, and why some people are always expected to handle mess with grace while others get to self-destruct freely.

As always, this episode feels like a long FaceTime where everything gets said.

Marriage & Motherhood: Why Does It Feel Like a Warning Label?

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:24:00 GMT

Marriage and motherhood are meant to be milestones… so why do they so often sound like cautionary tales?

This week, we unpack the way marriage and motherhood are constantly framed as sacrifices, struggles, and things to brace yourself for. From horror stories disguised as advice to unsolicited warnings that feel more like fear-mongering, we ask the real question: are people trying to prepare us or scare us?

We talk expectations vs reality, generational narratives, the pressure placed on women, and why conversations around these life stages rarely sound joyful, hopeful, or empowering. Honest, unfiltered, and very necessary especially for anyone who’s ever felt side-eyed for still wanting it all.

We share the story of being in a foreign country where things got a little heated (okay, a lot) and why Nadiya genuinely thought we were about to get arrested.
