‘Does God Even Know You’, Thoughts on the Evil Eye and "Ramy" with May Calamawy

It’s important to remember that your relationship with God is no one else’s but yours. So learn to leave the judgement, the comparisons and envy at the door. 

In Ep. 24 of Season 2, we sit down with May Calamawy (again!) to discuss the second season of the Hulu show “Ramy”! Our conversation touches upon faith, creating a personal relationship with God, and as well as our thoughts on the evil eye. 

Struggling with faith isn’t an uncommon thing to go through. Calamawy discusses the ups and downs her character faces with faith on the show and how it relates to her own struggles in real life. 

Sometimes you may find yourself so far away from God and the path you once followed. But, luckily, something will always pull you back. Most of the time it won’t be the same path, but a better one you’ve paved for yourself. 

Evil eye, or hassad, could possibly be the most popular topic discussed amongst those in our community. We dive into our outlook on the matter, share personal antidotes of our encounters with the evil eye, and ways we’ve learned to “humble ourselves” and protect the people and things we value the most. 

We also discuss relationships and how to deal with a partner’s past. How much is too much knowledge, and what’s just not enough? Although this may vary from person to person, I think we can all agree that falling down a rabbit hole of social media stalking of your current beau isn’t a good idea. 

Whether you are just beginning your journey to connecting to your faith, or well down that road, this episode is loaded with enlightening and feel-good content that will give you the push you need to keep on going.
