Fascynacja inną, nieznaną nam kulturą ma swoje etapy. Najczęściej nie docieramy do tej fazy, w której jesteśmy w stanie wejść w interesujący nas świat głęboko - jako jego pełnoprawni uczestnicy. Wtedy dopiero możemy na własnej skórze odczuć zarówno wady, jak i zalety obiektu naszej fascynacji. To czas próby. Jedni robią wtedy krok wstecz i bańka pęka. Inni idą dalej, podejmując tym samym życiową decyzję. Tak zrobiła Katarzyna "Jamilah" Ławrynowicz, która od dekady mieszka w Marrakeszu. (Początek rozmowy: 12'02")

Jamilah, play this at your wedding reception while you indulge in a beautiful plate of pasta. This is a special, intimate episode of the podcast. I wanted to take a moment, at the ripe ole age of 22, to talk to my husband. Yes, the man I haven't met yet. There are some things he needs to know, and these are things that I don't think will change between now and the future... whenever the wedding is. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simplyjamilah/message

On this week's episode: Jamilah, Elizabeth and Aymann discuss their triumphs and fails for the week. Then they answer a question from a listener whose first grader is bored at school.

Would a phone serve as a helpful tool or a terrible distraction?  In Slate Plus: We're getting into the “why's” of it all! Why? Because it's the favorite and sometimes very annoying question of many young children. What can parents do to answer their kids' endless “why's” without losing their cool?  Recommendations: Elizabeth recommends Wise Owl Hammock & Straps for easy comfort when you're camping with the family.  Aymann recommends the Self Cleaning LARQ Water Bottle for purifying water for you and your baby on the go.  Jamilah recommends making your own bootleg sangria! Using grand marnier and/or rum, wine (red or white), kids fruit cups, fresh fruit, sugar and orange juice. Cheers!

On this week’s episode: Dan and Jamilah are joined by Gabrielle Horton, co-host and executive producer of NATAL. They advise a mom who is sick of searching for her kid’s lost stuff, especially because she, too, often misplaced things as a child. She learned to develop routines that work for her. But she wants to opt out of helping her kid with finding lost items. They also answer a question about a girl who is feeling left out.
