Why does it feel like Allah abandoned me?’ If you’ve ever cried during sujood or wondered if your pain was ‘punishment,’ this episode is for you. Bree Shaaban gets raw about:
How childhood trauma distorts your relationship with Allah
The loneliness of being called ‘strong’ when you’re breaking inside
Practical steps to reframe your faith beyond trauma responses (including the du’a that changed everything)
This isn’t a ‘just pray more’ lecture - it’s a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt unseen by Allah.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
