Honesty is the Best Policy: Haram Police, Halal Dating Woes and Having Strict Parents w/ Salma Hindy

When it comes to relationships, are we entitled to the "carfax" of this potential partner? And if so, where can we get the honesty is the best policy when it comes to relationship warranties?Dear listeners, you’re in for a treat because this episode is nothing short of hilarious even though we are unpacking loads of trauma.In today’s episode, I sit down with Salma Hindy,  a biomedical engineer by day and accomplished comedian by night. And if you are familiar with who Salma is, then you know she brings a comedic twist to any conversation..Salma takes us back to her earlier childhood days which were void of music, going to the mall and basically anything a normal teenager was allowed to experience.If you grew up in a household with strict and conservative parents then you will most likely relate to Salma’s crazy childhood stories.By default she also found herself as one of the elite members of the Haram Police. We talk about how her high school friendships were difficult to navigate because of her past judgmental ways. Fast forward to today - and the script has been flipped. Meaning that Salma is now facing scrutiny from this same group of people for her most recent personal choices. What does one do when your high school peers come out of the woodworks to give you a taste of your own medicine?I genuinely applaud Salma for her authenticity and her ability to not shy away from difficult conversations by being transparent about her experience with relationships, halal dating and how therapy has truly impacted her. Enjoy and follow the pod on Instagram:@unsweetenedandunfilteredFollow Salma Hindy on Instagram:@salma.hindyLearn more about Salma here:www.salmahindy.com
