Women of Impact · This Is How You Finally Leave the Toxic Relationship | Najwa Zebian PT 2 (Fan Fav) · 20 Dec 2025 podcast

Because you're changing at your core level.

You're changing.

So it's like you can't move forward with this change unless it applies to everyone in your life.

You can't push past this fear unless you push past your fear

about the way that your parents might react at how you are now changing.

You can do it, but if you are at that point where you're just sick and tired of being the way that you are and you really wanna change your life, there is a part of you that's like, I know that when this relationship ends, that relationship is also going to end because all of that frustration is coming up saying,

Why were you okay with me being treated that way?

Why did you teach me that it was okay for me to hear words like that or to be made to feel like that?

All of that anger and resentment comes up.

And I want to tell you a story about resentment that I think you're going to love.

I've never written too much about my relationship with my family, but there is a story I wrote about in The Only Constant, and I call it the airplane story.

So back when I decided to take my hijab off, my parents struggled with that decision.

I know they were worried about me.

I know they had their reservations because it's a huge change.

You know, I'd worn it since I was 13 years old.

So I remember the first time I brought the topic up, like my dad said, don't even think about it.

And obviously that was, I don't even think that was something he thought about.

He just said it.

And I understood over time, like bringing the topic up here and there, that he was concerned that maybe I'm going through an identity crisis or something.

Like maybe this isn't a real choice that I'm making for myself because of my convictions.
