About this episode

We kick off this podcast episode by apologizing to the Michigan Spartans! IFYKYK. Dr. Sadaf Lodhi OB/GYN sets us straight REAL fast on this episode! She is not only a practicing doctor to women, she is also host of The Muslim Sex Podcast and a certified Sex Coach. 
THEN we start talking about the good stuff to launch our “Muslim Moms Aren't Nuns” series this February. What are the silent conversations Muslims are having with themselves about sex, or what are the stories we make up about sex because we aren’t comfortable admitting what we don’t know? Where our sex baggage comes from boils down a lot to where our thoughts originate, and on our ability to separate THOUGHTS from FACTS. Let’s figure out where some of those thoughts are born and how to stop bearing them forward. 
What are the keys to raising our kids to have a healthy understanding of sex without making it sound too good to miss? Tune in at 6pm EST on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music or check out our website to listen to our episodes.
