Third Culture Kids — What Happens When Pakistani Meets Canadian and They Raise Kids in Malaysia

One parent with a culture that goes back centuries. One parent whose culture is basically just stolen pizza and a pinky-up tea cup. And three kids somewhere in the middle — multilingual, mixed, and growing up Muslim in Southeast Asia.In this episode, Will and Sana dig into one of the most real conversations mixed-culture Muslim families are having — what do you actually pass down, what do you leave behind, and when faith and culture collide, which one wins? They talk third culture kids, DNA tests, cultural appropriation versus appreciation, the Prophet's dua that connects Pakistani Muslims to Taif, why culture might literally be a thing of the past, and what it looks like to raise kids whose identity starts with Islam and builds from there.In this episode:-What "third culture kids" actually means — and why Will and Sana's kids are living it in real time-Why one of them is 100% Indopak (DNA tested) and one is just...
