Adolescence is a time of massive change—for our children and for us as parents. In this special episode, Aalimah Sarah Ahmed sits down with Dr. Sarah Hemeida, a family physician who works closely with teens and their families, to unpack what really happens during these pivotal years—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

With the combined lens of science and lived motherhood, the two Sarahs explore everything from hormone shifts and mood swings to identity, communication, and building trust. Aalimah Sarah shares the faith-centered struggles and surprises of raising her own pre-teens, while Dr. Sarah offers grounded, practical insights from her clinical experience.

Together, they answer the big question: how can we show up with compassion and clarity as our kids enter this unfamiliar but sacred stage of becoming?

Whether you're already in the thick of it or preparing for what's ahead, this conversation will give you both reassurance and tools to walk alongside your growing child with more presence, faith, and understanding.
