She Should Know episodes

August 03 (2/2) Finally, the Book Episode
We've been teasing it, posting about it, and talking around it for months — and now it's finally here. Dr. Sarah sits down with Aalimah Sarah Ahmed to talk about A Light of Her Own: Muslim Womanhood as a Path to Allah — what it is, why she wrote it, and what she hopes every Muslim woman takes away from it. This is the conversation behind the book: the idea that sparked it, the questions it tries to answer, and why Muslim womanhood is not something to work around on the way to Allah ﷻ, it's the path itself. If haven't order your copy yet, consider this your sign. Order on: www.bysarahahmed.com

In this episode, we sit down with Shaikh Mikaeel Ahmed Smith for an honest conversation about optimization culture, peptides, longevity, and what it looks like to pursue physical health as an act of faith.
