Dr Heba Khaled is a dentist, and a student of Psychology from an Islamic perspective. She has been going through a condition called Topical Steroid Withdrawal, which she is currently raising awareness for. In this episode, Dr Heba shares her personal journey of eczema that escalated to TSW in her adulthood and left her bed bound for over three years. She also warns against the use of the ‘orange cream’ to manage eczema as lab reports show that it contains clobetasol propionate, which is one of the most potent steroid. You can connect with Dr Heba over on IG: @tsw_atlas May Allah bless and accept it from our dear Dr Heba and her family. JazzakunAllahu Khayra for all your love and support!

Lina shared her experience of becoming a Muslim and how she faced years of depression that saw her faith plunge for a while but then her imaan was revived through two ways. She also shared the beautiful moment when her mother accepted Islam hours before she passed away. This episode was so emotional and so touching - you will need your tissues for this one for sure! May Allah bless and accept it from our dear Lina and her family. JazzakunAllahu Khayra for all your love and support! Jzk Her Story Inspires.

Amirah Zaky started the episode by sharing her upbringing of being raised by an Egyptian father and a Thai mother who learnt about Islam with her as a child, to getting married at a really young age of 18 years old which is when her struggle to lose her virginity began. For a year, Amirah hadn’t consummated her marriage which lead a discussion with her husband where divorce was mentioned which is something they both didn’t want. Amirah started her own research into her condition and realised that she had a condition called ‘Vaginismus’ which she describes in detail in the episode. It was so brave and courageous of her to be so open and vulnerable with us in the hope that it will help another woman out there. Alhamdulilah soon after this, she was blessed with two beautiful children and she no longer suffers from vaginismus. She now works as a sexual wellness coach specialising in helping women to overcome painful sex, vaginismus and fear of intercourse. She also helps women to painlessly lose their virginity on their wedding night. We talked about the importance of normalising talking and educating our girls about sex so they enter marriage mentally prepared rather than frightened and with shame. It was a really amazing episode with many gems to take away. I really recommend sharing this episode with all women in your life, especially those who are about to get married or are married.
