I'm not Muslim but Christian and I love all your girls content. Its like having more sisters and I learn so much about your faith as well. I like it when you explain things about your culture/faith as well as I did not grow up knowing these things. I'd love to hear a podcast. When Amanda cried, I almost cried to! Its hard to leave family, your hometown, and all your childhood memories and close that door. Its the end of a chapter and can be sad, but the next chapter is full of good things. Just think of how long you have waited to be married to your fiancé. You wont have to say goodbye at the end of the day or the weekend. That this was the time you had been dreaming of. You will wake up one day, sun shining, with your husband next to you, kids down the hall healthy and happy, your career where you want it, in your own home, family only a weekend trip away and realise you are happy - really happy - and this is what you prayed for.

Just so you know Amanda, most of us ladies went through the same thing before we married. Knowing how much our families love us, its difficult to leave for the unknown, its scary. Allah swt is always you. Ask for n tell him everything; he's listening, always.

Seeing Amanda cry broke my heart. Take a breath, sis. This year is a huge life change but you have an amazing support system to help with the transition. You've got this!

One of the most interesting topics to me is if you could talk about how your parents were able to raise you in a society that is completely different from your culture,but still they managed to keep you in touch with your culture and religion! I admire that and respect it

I can relate to Amanda. I have been married for 3 years and still find it hard that I’ve left my childhood home and parents. I’m pregnant and have been thinking a lot about the circle of life. It was only yesterday that we were kids, now having kids. Also seeing our parents age isn’t easier. I always worry about my parents I don’t want them to fee lonely at all

the podcast idea is so smart! it will def get u guys very far, because u guys are so open minded to talking about alot of muslim girl topics that are not always talked about.

I would love for y’all to make a podcast but also have some content like vlogs, fashion videos, basically what y’all have already been making.

Can y'all have guests? Like mama and baba and all the boys? That would be cute. Amanda don't cry. Thankfully since I have been following you I know you do your best to visit your parents and them you when you were in Dallas and I loved that. You'll be fine. Can't wait for you to start your next chapter girls🥰

Yeah they have amazing sisterhood and they feel like my sisters in Islam. I think thats a great thing about Islam...to have the sisterhood and know you are safe and not judged

I can totally relate to Amanda. We're 3 sisters as well and I'm the youngest. My sisters went to study abroad and then right after, both got married same year. So I was always the one at home responsible for everything at home especially my parents. And I used to cry just thinking about leaving them after the wedding. And it's been 2 years. I still cry every time I let myself think of them. I'm sure none of the other 5 siblings feel the way I do. *Hugs* for Amanda. Just remember you can ask Allah to take care of them the way they took care of you.

Aww sis meybe stay in contact with them by calling and texting them will make you feel better and for sure they will visit over. Hope education and friends gets you busy to avoid you to cry.

Love how Loren and Amanda constantly compliment Leena, its obvious they really look up to her. 💗 Amanda habibty, it is hard to move away but as Leena said you're not loosing anything instead you're gaining more family. It'll be an adjustment but you and Muhammad will have each other to lean on and that can really strengthen a relationship. Remember to communicate well, have patience with each other and give each other grace. Don't let issues build up rather work on them as they come. May Allah bless you with a happy and successful marriage full of mutual respect, strong eman, and loads of admiration, ameen!! So happy for you! Sending you virtual hugs!!

I love how organized the conversation was this time and everybody had a chance to talk and express their thoughts and feelings. I love you all so much 🥰

yes would love to have a podcast hosted by you girls! Muslim/girls women definitely need one to help navigate faith in the modern world!

I love that all sisters are at different stages in their life, almost making them all so relatable in a way. We love you ladies!

Once in a while a podcast is nice but I love you’re fashion and travel content so much!! 😍

Thats such a great idea for yall to start a podcast, can’t wait! Definitely much needed in our community. Leena youre such a good influencer , mom, wife and big sister, you can tell on this video how much Loren and Amanda look up to you 😍 Amanda youre such a sweetheart May Allah give you happiness and success in your future , you got me 😢 by the end of the video. Loren love how ambitious and confident youve become! Yall keep doing what youre doing all three of you are great examples 💕

I totally understand how you feel, Amanda. I love my husband so much but because I came from a close knit family, it freaked me out with ALL the changes. I moved an hr away, I couldn’t just go to my moms for a few nights and this was a biggie, change my emergency contact to my husband. Why isn’t that something people talk about more?! Growing pains are common and it will make you appreciate your family even more. Loved this video, ladies

I can totally relate to Amanda’s feelings. I never really thought about it prior to marriage, but it’s so good Amanda is and allowing herself to feel those emotions. I was born and raised in FL, the only life I ever knew (& weather 😂) and I moved to long island, NY which was such a major change for me. I appreciate her even bringing that topic up because I feel like it’s not spoken about a lot. ❤️

Loren is a natural!! Great presence and she shifted gears so well with asking questions

i love this podcast style, I feel like because you all have your own channels we get that vlog content there, so having this style is nice and honestly love listening to you guys talk through things like life, marriage work etc 💓

Amanda is so sweet and so relatable to us who get lost I love how she normalizes not knowing ❤️ wishing u success

I love how you three compliment each other so well. It is so beautiful to see and I'll surely treat my sisters with as much respect, grace, and love.

Ive watched you all separately, but this is the video that made me subscribe to this channel. I think that the honesty and vulnerability allowed me to connect with you guys more as women and people! i loved this❤️

I'd love to hear more about Loren's perspective of her life changes as she transitions into the real world. Also, what her thoughts on marriage (if any at all) in the near future might be as she enters this new chapter💗

What I love about these videos is all three of you are in very relatable phases of your lives. From school, to getting married and being a mom and a new homeowner its all very interesting and relatable content so anything you post will be welcome :)

Oh my God! Yes to a podcast. I recognized that gap in the podcasting space, so I started one myself to share my experiences as a Muslimah on a journey to building a healthy self esteem, body image and self love, and there's so much room for more. Will definitely listen to your podcast ☺️

Please consider the podcast idea, it would be so fun listening to you girls! amanda you made me tear, i don't come from a close-together family but I can totally relate with you because change freaks me out, it's gonna be hard for sure, but it'll get better especially if you make it a habit to visit your fam every weekened or once in 2 weeks..whatever suits your schedule. God bless y'all can't wait for next video

Ahhh omg Loren if you move out for your job your KZread videos are going to be awesome! I can already see your healthy morning routines and what I eat in a days!! So excited 🥰

I love 💕 the podcast style video 🎙️ 📷 congrats Amanda hope the September 3rd preparations go well 💍!!!

I love love loved this podcast vibe!!! I love watching and listening to podcasts when I work out, on my way to work and even when I’m cooking! ☺️

I really appreciate that you guys exist and are a really relatable and current channel that muslim girls can enjoy. I literally sit here with a cuppa and snacks and love watching you all xx

Love the podcast format! Aside from regular life updates, I would love to hear your perspectives on how you cope with the regular struggles of adulthood, and how you handle any possible moments of doubt or struggle with your faith, much love!

I love this podcast setup! Happy New Year and blessings to you, sisters!

I enjoys this style a lot more! It felt like I was there with you all just chatting away. It also felt less staged and more natural than the vlogs, not that the vlogs were staged in anyway but felt like it took more energy to plan things for you all to do. Love you all!

Please know all three of you, that you are so appreciated and loved by so many girls and women out there! You’ve got more supporters than you might realize. Thank you for your work ♥️

Loved this style, would love to see more :) great perspective on goal setting and how Ramadan is a nice time of year to take stock and start new rather than new year which can feel quite pressurising and rushed. Thanks for sharing! x

I'm in nursing school as well, just started my hardest semester (and hoping to graduate in december iA) I'm right there with you on anxiety Loren! You got this!! It'll be so worth it

Oh Amanda, I cried with you hunny. You are not alone, and your feelings are totally valid. I left my family in Australia and came to US and its been 4 years now and I'm just healing from the move. It's going to take time, and be sure to keep yourself busy and talk to your family/husband about how you are (actually) going and what you're feeling. Its so important to get it off your chest, I cant stress that enough. If I had to change something it would have been to set personal/development goals like reading more, and being more active in our community. Maybe this is your time to focus on your inner self and growth. You got this girl. Chin up!

How often do you visit home? Is it really hard day to day? I ask because I’ve gotten to know a guy and I’ll end up having to make the opposite move from you (US to Aus) and I worry about it :(

Who else loves a podcast video? All three sisters done a good job with the podcast video Mashallah!! 💖🥰💖

omg podcast style!! i definitely love the idea of yall starting a podcast and i really enjoyed this wholesome chatty vid! you guys are so inspiring to me♡♡ sending so much love and i can't wait for u guys to announce a podcast launch!!

You guys should most definitely start a podcast!!! I would 4 SURE listen to it because you guys are such good speakers and I love having someone to connect with! Yesssss...pls continue this...Love you girls❤❤

I love this podcast style! I hope all of you have a great year and that the best things happen for you

24:41 Amanda it's totally acceptable to be emotional 😭 as a fellow people pleaser I agree it with you about the whole not living close by to family + being married. It's different when you move out for studying/a job but being married it is hard.

You guys remind me of my sisters and I we are also 3, and having the close bond we have, like you girls has been my saving grace my entire life. Funny how “home” is considered four walls, but I think when you’re with family you’re really home. I really like this podcast style! Sending love!

Really love the podcast style !! I totally think you’ll should do this more often. It is definitely beneficial for us , young girls ❤️

omgg! i love the point u guys make about how there is motivation content, morning routines, etc at the NEW year and it make us feel u have to suddenly change our habits,! and then u start to feel NOT good enough. wow so relateable. like i mean i rlly do wanna improve, i wanna focus more on me, less screen time but sometimes im hard on myself. and i cant believe u guys feel that way too considering how much u have accomplished, how u 3 have a partner, etc I hope we can all practice giving ourselves more grace and just improve slowly and consistently

Loved this style video 💕 you guys have come a long way

Amanda is so sweet. I’m so sorry you feel overwhelmed but it’s totally normal and you got this!

Amanda I want to give you a big hug. I understand exactlyyy how you feel. That’s how I felt when I got married and it took me so long to adjust but eventually I did. I want you to know it will get better and you are doing nothing wrong putting yourself first. Your family is blessed to have you and that will never change. ❤️

I totally relate to Amanda, bless her. I didn't think getting married would eventually mean moving country and I still have anxiety when I have to leave my family although I have small children. Moving away from family has to be the hardest thing ever!

You 3 were so respectful of one another especially in letting each sister have enough time to share their thoughts without interruption. Looking forward to some more Ramadan content, not just food wise but spiritual betterment. :)

Amanda need a hugeeee bear hug. Your doin absolutely amazing girl and you’ve been so patient for so long. Ilysm from the Uk 🇬🇧 ❤️ xxx

This was so amazing to watch and I really hope you girls continue to create podcast-style videos like this. You three are in different periods in your life and every viewer can connect with one or all three of you. Amanda, thank you for being vulnerable and open with how you are feeling. I definitely resonated with you and it feels nice to know I'm not alone. InshAllah this new year brings you all prosperity, good health, and love. Beautiful souls mashAllah

Aww Amanda. It will be okay. You've got our support.

Another non-Muslim girl chiming in - I love this podcast style & definitely see myself being able to throw on some headphones and listen. I did a minor in world religions way back in university (I'm 30 now) and loved learning more about Islam and other religions/cultures so I love that take on content. I also love the sister/girl talk style. Only child marrying into a family with 3 girls (I'm getting married a week after you Amanda) and the wedding planning is stressful! Can't wait for more content from you ladies!

I loved this video, mashaAllah! What Amanda said really hit home for me. I lived in a small town my entire life and I am the youngest of 5 in my family. I got married when I was 21 and moved four hours away (from the US to Canada actually!). It was really hard for me at first and although it’s been two years it is still hard for me some days. Living in a new place (and new country in my case), with a new person and not having any family or friends to support me was a really big shock to my mental health. So many of the fears Amanda mentioned were fears I had as well. I can’t say I’m fully used to it but there was also a time when I thought I’d never make it this far. I give myself tons of props now for getting to where I am mentally and emotionally and you will get there too. My advice is to make tons of duaa, talk to your family often, visit as often as you can, and maybe even talk to a licensed professional counselor! All of those things will ease your journey and before you know it you will be enjoying your new life more than you thought you could. Best of luck inshaAllah to all three of you wonderful ladies! ❤️

Loren is the most balanced speaker msA great job, she speaks really professionally but comfortably.

Amanda, it’s ok to feel all those feels. I felt the same moving to a different state and I 100% know how it feels. Its emotional and exhausting to think about. But enjoy the time you have with them and make the most out of it. It does get better after a while, I promise! Sending love

LOVE this podcast style and you three sisters!! I have three sisters and it was exactly like listening in on one of our conversations!

I totally understand Amanda. I'm my parents' only daughter and they are my EVERYTHING. I've been trying to find a partner who lives close enough to my current home, so I can be there for my parents if they need me and it's hard. Mohammed seems like a great person, and you've got an amazing sister who will be near them. You can do this.

I feel for you Amanda. Once you adapt to your new life things will definitely get easier in that aspect of leaving your parents house. You will start a family with your husband and focus on your new home with him. It’s hard to think of the “unknown” because we don’t have full control over our future. Take everything one step at a time and focus on what you can control. Stay strong 🥰

Yesss do a podcast! 🤍🤍🤍I loved this style so much as I can listen while doing something else! Also Amanda I feel you 🤍🤍 I also moved away after getting married and even though I’d lived by myself throughout college it was still not an easy transition. But my husband and I go for long visits and we just cherish those times together that much more 🤍

U guys are such kind and beautiful souls ♥️ Could you talk about how you deal with toxic people/confrontation, how to be more assertive and how to deal with anxiety.

Hi girls❤ I'm really happy to have found you !! You are fantastic and wonderful! I have never been bored with you! I only want the best for you ❤

Omg amanda you made me cry because I'm also a people pleaser and hearing you cry about your parents and marriage life made me so sad that I literally shed tears and am honestly scared of marriage because of that. But because Leena said that it's like a normal part of life, I really felt that and think it'll all be okay. Thank you ladies so much!❤😘😘

I felt exactly the same Amanda,moved away from my family and it was tough but it does get easier! Lots of love xx

Leena's podcast voice is so soothing. I could listen to her talk all day.

Yes to the podcast-style! I love podcasts and I think it’s a better format for the sister channel than vlogging.

I feel for Amanda, I’m struggling with that as well. Thank you for being raw and honest ❤

loved watching the premiere girls! this new podcast style is amazing but i love the vlog style too! whatever is easiest for you guys is the best for us💗

Omgg yesss please do podcasts I’ve been obsessed with them recently 💖

This was such a great podcast! I'm really looking forward to the upcoming surprises! I think a podcast idea could be how to prepare for marriage i.e. working on yourself, then looking for the right person, asking the right questions etc. etc.

I appreciate this practice of expressing sincere feelings. It is very helpful for mental health and a positive mind.

I’m in nursing school as well and it’s been the hardest school year so far. My dad got in a accident the day I finished my summer semester and then in September I went into the hardest school year whilst my dad being in a coma. I went through the fall semester and in December he passed away while I had two exams left. May Allah have mercy on him Ameen. I now started another semester and I only had two weeks break. So it’s really hard but I feel like I have this pressure to make him proud which keeps me going but I’m also grieving. I understand Loren when she says she gets overwhelmed fast I’m the same way I always want to put this pressure on myself because I have fear of being a failure. I loved watching this episode and enjoyed this podcast style!

I totally agree with you girls that Ramadan is the best time for your goals and even for your spirit and body to refresh.. I used to make my plan, Ramadan 2020 for example.. God bless you girls ❤️

yessss for the podcasttt, I'd love to listen you guys every week!!

Amanda you made me cry with you..you're such the sweetest ..all of you are just amazing..the strong bond between you all is everything ❤❤❤

Awwww Amanda don’t cry everything will be okay in the future! In Shaa Allah

YES TO THE PODCAST! As a mama, podcasts are my jam lol I barely have time to sit down and watch longer YT vids like I used to. Podcasts are like a little getaway while I’m washing dishes or multitasking 😂

Watching Amanda cry I cried! I felt that! I’m a ppl pleaser and worry about my parents all the time. Especially, because I live in a different state. 😭♥️

I can totally relate Amanda, my wedding day was coupled with departure outside my home country and with the pandemic and lockdown I couldn’t see family for over a year at first, and with visa issues, I really wish things gets easier eventually for everyone 💙 I send you all my love

I loved this video! And one thing I wanted to note that I observed THROUGHOUT this video is how sensitive, soft, and validating you guys are to each other and to each other’s feelings regardless of how big or small said concern is. It’s actually inspiring and affirming to witness. It makes me/reminds me to slow down while speaking and rest in kindness and softness more, something that seems very present in Leena when consoling Amanda and Loren Allahumma Barik. All of your personalities shine through and waltz together in a beautiful way and it’s so refreshing to witness. May Allah preserve you all Ameen! Topics: Maybe invite Naeem on the podcast and have talk about that sister dynamic and his take on growing up amongst that feminine energy/having sisterhood 2) Ramadan is coming up so perhaps like Cooking with The Asad Sisters while you talk about a specific topic whether it’s a Q+A etc! 3) This isn’t a podcast style but would love to see a BTS “Content Day” when the three of you guys are together and what that looks like in terms of helping one another and content batching! Love, Hanaan

Awww Amanda! I cried with you. It’s so sad when you have to leave your parents 😭😭😭alhamdulillah I love your sister channel and all of your individual channels ❤️

You guys are amazing! Podcast sounds so good but also would like to see you guys vlog while doing things/traveling together, etc.

Love you Amanda. 💖 I understand completely your emotions, it's really not easy leaving your family, but know that you won't be too far from them. May Allah bless you with much happiness in your married life. You're a real sweetie. Sending you all so much love and duas from the UK.🥰💕😘

YES for the podcast... love you guys

Amanda when you cried about feeling sad leaving your parents, I felt that. I feel that on a daily basis. It\s sad that as we grow up, our parents grow old :(

Loved this video. My eyes started to water when Amanda spoke about moving out, its okay Amanda you will get used married life and im sure u will be excited to decorate ur new place inshallah! X

I really enjoyed this style y’all! Love you 3!

I moved from the east coast to the west coast when I got married and it’s really hard to get used to but it’s brought me closer to my family and you learn to appreciate the space a bit after a while. The beginning is tough but you learn to rely more on yourself and as a couple you grow faster cuz you only have each other to rely on.

Amanda’s words broke my heart🥺😢 I totally understand how she felt. I just wanted to give her a hug.♥️

I started crying when I saw Amanda cry 😭 home will always be home!!! May Allah swt bless you all!! This will be the most exciting part of Amandas life, its so common to feel overwhelmed, but just enjoy these next few months with family for all these special moments. Last year was the last Ramadan I had with most of my siblings because most of them have moved out but it is hard, i miss living with my siblings so much so please enjoy and make loads of memories before then!!! May Allah swt make this year good and full of happiness iA 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I would love a podcast. Amanda you are such a sweetheart, you will settle into your married life and all these jitters will go away. You are blessed 😇 all the best so excited for this wedding it will be nothing short of elegant 🇨🇦🥰

This is such a great idea! I really enjoyed watching this podcast style. 🥰💞

Loved this! Thanks girls💕

This was so pure and genuine. Amanda, may Allah make the transition easy for you!

Love from IRELAND 🍀 aww I've missed all of you I'm so happy your back ☺️you all look so beautiful

You guys are such role models with the most purists hears 💗💗💗

Listening you all three talk is so soothing! :)

Love the podcast style alot. Amanda sending u hugs and kisses. Just take it 1 day at a time!

Love you all and Amanda is too cute, wishing her all the best for this year ❤️ please do more of these 🙌💕
