IDRIS & ABDIKARIM
About this episode

In this week's episode, Abdikarrim, Idris, and Jibril engage in a profound discussion surrounding distractions and some of the underlying reasons why we distract ourselves in the first place. We share our perspectives through the lens of times in our lives where we sought to distract ourselves as a form of coping. This led us to discuss how we navigated issues of trauma, insecurities, and distress, all while having some good laughs.
