Unswtnd + Unfltrd

597

A space for women to feel like they are not alone in the hardships or struggles that they are facing. Some conversations may be lighthearted, some may touch upon taboo topics, but the overall mission for this podcast is to make every woman realize that she is not alone in whatever struggle she may be going through. We are all in this together, I promise.

    Can I just say that I’ve been looking for a podcast that I could resonate for a long time and I’m so, so glad I found this one. Dounya and the team at Unsweetened and Unfiltered, you are paving the way for Muslim women. Thank you for making a space to speak about these topics. 💖

  • rea.s
    My favorite podcast! I swear.
    I don’t have a lot of women in my circle, especially Muslim women but this makes me feel a part of something. I love getting to sit and listen to girl talk about life, how we can navigate the world being mindful of ourselves, our relationships and our relationship with Allah SWT! I am always left reflecting at the end of every episode. Every guest and Dounya have the best conversations and there is always something to learn/relate to!
  • Ashy2098
    A much needed voice for the Muslim community!
    I love this podcast! I’m always learning so much from the guests on different aspects of Islam, culture, and spirituality. I feel like Dounya does a great job on highlighting issues that are often taboo or not spoken about like divorce, miscarriage, and difficulties finding a spouse. It definitely feels like I’m not alone as a twenty something Muslim American. I can’t wait to see what episodes she has next!
  • samraans
    Truly my favorite podcast
    I loooove this podcast so much
  • Jasmina Fahmy
    Amazing podcast
    I look forward to every episode that is dropped and I love listening to it while I’m going on a walk, driving, or laying down. The information that’s shared is beneficial to any woman but as a Muslim woman even more because many people don’t speak about this topics. I love your podcast and the work your share with our community. May Allah bless you and bring you more blessings insha2Allah xoxox
  • Aya Elamroussi
    This podcast is like a book you never want to put down
    This is by far one of my favorite podcasts I’ve experienced. The host is an incredibly talented interviewer who knows how to lead & shape important conversations. I love how it’s by Muslim women for Muslim women. Her guests are gems whom I have learned so much from & enjoyed listening to. It truly shows how thoughtful the host is with her guest choices, questions & topics. I simply love this podcast, & I hope it continues because I think it serves a crucial purpose for the Muslim American community as a whole. I’ve recommended it to & shared it with multiple people because it’s just that good.

  • ranooshQ
    Love this podcast
    Listening to this podcast is like listening to my heart and soul scream out and finally be heard. I relate SO much. I pray that God surrounds my daughter and myself with women like this. Powerful, intelligent, thought provoked women who live by our Deen rather than by the toxic aspects of our culture and society that drowns our aspirations and lives. Thank you for this. It’s such a refreshing listen.
  • breakfastinbeirut
    Just another Muslim girl
    I love this podcast. It is elevated, worldly fascinating and such a rollercoaster of emotions to be unpacked in every episode. I love feeling represented, hearing my own personal thoughts and musings explored by other Muslim women and taboo topics divulged from a point of view I actually care about. Def my top podcast and I’ll forever be a fan!
  • zarakhangeniality
    a podcast to help ground you in faith in a very natural conversational way
    This podcast is the only actual podcast I listen to. I waited to write this review until I had listened to multiple episodes and could really speak of it. And to say the least it is so refreshing. Allah encourages us to keep righteous friends for who they are is a reflection of who we are becoming. This podcast is like an extension of my friends and I share episodes of it to my friends as well and I only hope each time these episodes are played that angels surround all listeners because every episode is so grounding in our faith. Most of all I have been following Dounya for over 3 years now (I know I was shocked too haha) and to know that she is a working woman AND hosting and editing this podcast leaves me in awe subhanAllah. For anyone listening to this podcast, it’s important to know how much hardwork is going into each episode. I highly recommend tuning in to this podcast! Some of my favorite guest episodes: Sarah Sultan, Alia Taha, Ascia @iamascia, and A. Helwa. May Allah reward Dounya and Zaina immensely for hosting these episodes and for reaching people from all over and for some being that beacon of Light that they had needed in their day. Ameen!
  • 🤲🏻⭐️
    Love the range of topics
    Love the different guests that are brought on and the topics discussed because it helps me realize I’m not alone in the things I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Dounya is such an amazing soul and brings so much insight to so many unspoken topics to help heal our wounds together! ♥️

    Love this podcast!
    As a Muslim woman, it means so much to know there’s a podcast that amplifies voices in our community. I love the topics each week, they’re always relatable. I love that this podcast tackles the tough topics and still stays true to what it means to be a Muslimah and an American. THANK YOU Dounya and Zeina, may Allah bless you!
  • Hidaya H
    Love this podcast mashaAllah!
    I’ve never been a Podcast person, but these ladies have made me always be looking forward to the next episode, I love how light it feels to listen to them, and how much effort they put into bringing amazing and brilliant guests, they’re so inspiring. I literally feel like I’m part of the conversation, and a conversation that is with friends subhanallah! Keep it up girls, representing muslim women is an important job and you’re doing it so well ❤️
  • CouAlab
    Absolutely lovely and heartwarming!
    These ladies are so inspiring. It feels like I’m listening to a group of friends. Every topic is relevant. Every episode is eye-opening and you can take at least one thing from each one. I feel like the guests they speak to are all very passionate about their niche/career. May Allah bless all of you! ❤️
  • Susuusususususu
    One of my favorite podcasts.
    I recently started listening to this podcast and it is absolutely amazing. Every single podcast I listen to I can take something from it and learn something even if I can’t relate to the topic! This is my first time leaving a review on a podcast (or generally anything lol) because it really needs to be said. THIS PODCAST IS AMAZING. These two women are so intelligent mashAllah and they’re beautiful both inside out!! I hope they’re able to upload weekly or even more episodes in a week because I really enjoy listening to these podcasts!! Keep up the good work ladies🤍 May Allah bless you both and keep you protected and reward you for the good work you do ameen🤍🤍

    Genuine, Unfiltered and Uplifting
    Dounya and Zaina are doing amazing work through this wonderful podcast. They tackle important issues in a sensitive, genuine way. Their good heartedness shines through as you hear their reflections. As both a listener and someone who had the honor of being a guest on one of their podcasts, it’s a blessing to have and hear these conversations. Praying for continued success and goodness to come from this endeavor!
  • akayed7777
    Great information
    Great podcast with amazing guests. the hosts can be a little chatty sometimes, but overall worth a listen.
  • Sobia K
    Much needed!
    Zaina & Dounya always say in their episodes that they really want to build a community that strives towards empowering women, and I can say, they do an amazing job at it! Many of their episodes span over so many topics and really provide so much insight and perspective on issues that many Muslim women have to face. Listening to their guests and them as well I can say I feel like I’m part of a community, and always leave feeling so enlightened. They pour so much love into these episodes, it’s almost like you’re listening to an older sister’s words. Take a listen for yourselves!
  • SaharrAlii
    I would die for this Podcast
    Such amazing thought provoking conversations are conducted in this podcast From mental health, to spirituality, everything is basically covered all whilst intertwining the reality of being a woman in today’s society. I recommend all women to listen to this whether you’re Muslim or not. Dounia and Zeyna make it so easy to relate to them, and it honestly feels like you’re listening in on a conversation between your older sisters. Not having that when growing up, it’s amazing to have unbiased people with unbiased opinions. Such great dialogue and poise with AMAZING guests with great credentials and intellect. I recommend this to any girl/woman at literally any stage of their life. I remember playing this out loud while helping my mom with something, and all she could say was that she was so glad a resource like this is so easily accessible for women and girls of our generation. In a social media oriented world, it’s nice to catch a break and listen to the wonderful things these ladies have to say. I’ve learned so much about myself and others through unsweetened + unfiltered. 100000/5 stars

  • !!!!!!****!!!!!!
    5stars
    My favorite podcast! 2 amazing women who could be just about anyone’s friends. They’re open about their lives, and in doing so, they normalize a lot of their listeners’ struggles and anxieties. Not only do they make it OK to go through what you’re going through, but they also give helpful tips and feature women who have experience in the matter and give great tips!
  • Haneen Hafiz
    Best Podcast Ever!!!
    I discovered podcasts recently on my phone. And for the past two months I have been listening to this podcast. It’s a lot more than just people talking. Their words reach my soul. They make me feel better at the end of the day. They give me wisdom and amazing things to always think about! Alhamdulilah! This podcast probably changes people’s lives. It definitely changed mine and still does. I always listen to the podcasts while I’m at work and it so calming. Being able to listen to Palestinian women just allows me to connect even more. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put in to this Podcast!!! I love this and I’m so proud of you guys!! Mashallah! May Allah constantly bless you guys and give you the strength and health always 💖 -Haneen Hafiz

    Genuine And Beautiful
    I have been listening to Unswtnd+Unfltrd since about Ramadan 2020! I honestly have not been disappointed on any episodes. Every single one hits different whether or not it’s applies to our life. Well today I decided was going to go back to episodes from season one since I started on season two. I listened to episode 32 , and I can honestly say I felt like I was sitting there with these ladies having a conversation with them! Of course the conversation was going on in my head lol! I absolutely love how on every subject they cover they always say I’m not perfect or I’m struggling with this part of it. I’ve listened to many other podcasts and these two girls are genuine! A year later their conversations are real like that episode I don’t find them being hypocritical and saying I’m perfect or covering their flaws on the contrary they are showing us there struggles and I applaud to that! I’ve also reached out to them on Instagram a few times and always answered and helped if needed! God Bless you ladies and reward for all those you reach out to with your episodes and helped in so many ways!

    Breathe of Fresh Air
    This podcast is truly what I needed in my life. The girls discuss topics that are usually brushed under the rug and help with my well being. I’m so, so grateful for them!
  • sumayya t.
    Do not sleep on
    Literally my favorite podcast at the moment. Not one skippable episode, and such a broad range of topics. I’ve never seen Muslim women represented with so many aspects and dimensions! Thank you for that!
  • devinjudeh
    ❤️❤️
    Started listening early on with your podcast with the author of “A Woman Is No Man” .... have been hooked ever since!! Keep it up girls!!!
  • smsns djddnd
    Best friend podcast
    I came across this podcast after a blogger spoke about it on her page and entered the month of Ramadan with this constantly playing in my AirPods throughout the month. This podcast feels like your talking to your closest friends. This platform makes me feel not only close to god, but even closer to myself. It challenges views, confronts unconscious thoughts we may have been listening to due to culture, and is so present with today’s day and age. I welcome women across the world to listen to this to not only feel educated but also to feel connected with yourself. Keep these podcast going girls! We love them !!!!
  • Susie Othman
    Amazing podcast!
    My favorite day of the week is Wednesdays on my commute to work because I get to listen to this amazing podcast. I love the information and topics that Dounya and Zaina bring to us every week.
  • hanan4ever91
    Phenomenal Work
    Amazing Platform where women are invited to speak and listen no matter their status, age, or ethnicity. Their platform honors stories of different kinds of women. Love all their speakers and the efforts they put into their podcast!

  • SNB_09
    A breath of fresh air
    It’s often hard for a lot of us to make friends as adults, and even when we do have friends, it can be hard to have deep, meaningful conversations. I feel this podcast gives you both- two friends you didn’t know you would make and endless conversations that are important to have especially as women and as members of Arab communities. The podcast will spark something in you to delve into thoughtful conversations whether it’s at work, at school, or in your current social circle.
  • daydreamminn
    Absolutely changed my life ♥️
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for well over a year and a half now and I can honestly say it’s shifted my perspective on so many things in my life. The open, honest conversations about topics that are generally brushed off or undermined in our culture are SO important. Transparency is everything, and Zaina and Dounya are hosts that make you feel like you know them even if you’ve never met in person. May Allah (SWT) reward you both for all that you do and the lives you’re changing! Ameen ✨💕
  • Ibtismile
    Amazing, informative, best commute bud and relatable
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now and I can’t stress enough how needed this platform is. There are so many episodes that highlight topics that aren’t talked about in our communities and it’s great to see that there’s a safe space for such discussions. And to add the topics are so relatable. I look forward to new episodes every week. I listen on my commute to work, while working, at home. The hosts are amazing and the guests are incredible.
  • ArabianGem
    Great podcast
    As an arab American Muslim woman, these ladies have continuously lifted my spirits up with their subjects that affect us today. I consider them really good friends since I've gotten to know them off-mic. Every Muslima should listen thank you!
