Being Over 30: The Pressure Cooker Years
In this bold first episode of Those Avoided Topics, host Ibtisam Habib sits down with Nadia Abdalla to unpack the weighty, often unspoken pressures facing women over 30. With honesty and nuance, Nadia shares how society's obsession with timelines — marriage, children, career “milestones” — has shaped her decisions, self-worth, and silence.
Together, they explore what it means to age as a woman in a world that equates value with youth, submission and motherhood. This is not just a story about gendered expectations — it’s a mirror held up to culture, community and the quiet inner battles so many women fight alone.
