Cousin Connection Pod

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!
In the final part of our Umrah experience, we talk about all things Madinah, the resting place of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. We also shared some tips on how to get into the Rawdah because ma sha Allah, as time goes by, Madinah is only getting busier and busier and you may face some difficulties in getting an appointment.
We also discussed our time in Jeddah, the flight home (someone had a boujie experience lol), and what it's been like being back in our routines. We hope our 3 part series has either inspired you to plan your umrah and Madinah ziyara trip orrrr has made you feel nostalgic of your own past trip. Either way, we ask that Allah allows us all to return to perform Umrah, visit our Habib and perform Hajj every year! AMEEN!
So 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 ❤️

From Black sitcom nostalgia to whether Toronto is really ready for its own Breakfast Club moment, we talk growth, respect, generational gaps, and what it means to build something meaningful in Canadian media. If you care about culture, ownership, and where the next wave is coming from, this one’s for you.

HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!
This week we’re joined by our good friends from Coffee Break Podcast, and trust us…this episode goes everywhere. We talk day-one podcast struggles, what it’s like building a platform from scratch, awkward run-ins with listeners, and all the behind-the-scenes chaos that never makes it on camera.
We also get into how they chose their name, what their families really think about the pod, and the art of learning to filter yourself (or at least trying to). Plus: editing glow-ups, future plans for both our platforms, travel stories, and yes…unfortunately sad pet stories😭
Grab your snack, turn up the volume, start your chores or go for a drive — and hang with your cousins for another chaotic, wholesome episode. Thank you for the endless love, your messages, your comments, EVERYTHING.
WE LOVE YALL SO MUCH ❤️
