Episode 12 ｜ Does Age Really Mean Anything? Being 30, Being 40 and Life Talk With Sumayyah Nasaruddin, Founder of Olloum
How does it feel to be 30 and not married? 40 with no kids?
What about starting new projects or a new fitness journey at this age? Does age truly mean anything?
In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Sumayyah for the big sister talk you didn't know you needed. In a society that always makes women feel like their prime is at a certain age and that their worth decrease with time, we thought we would show you that the Qadr of Allah is greater than everything and that age doesn't in fact mean anything.

Episode 7 | Managing Sexual Desires as a Single Muslimah with Sameera Qureshi, MS OTR and Creator of Sexual Health for Muslims
There shouldn't be taboos in Islam, especially when it comes to the way Allah created us and taking care of our health, yet sexual education is something that has always been ignored or put to shame in our community.
Today, I am joined by Sameera Qureshi who I discovered a while back through her amazing Instagram page called Sexual Health for Muslims. I was so pleasantly surprised to discover a Muslim woman doing something that was so needed and educational for all of us, so when I brainstormed ideas for the podcast, I knew I wanted to have this chat on sexual desires as a single Muslimah with her.
As usual please let me know your thoughts insha'Allah!
