Wise Women with Daisy Khan

Subscribe to @WiseWomenWithDaisyKhan. Every week, we sit down for real conversations about faith, identity, and the stuff that actually matters. This is a space for unfiltered information about Islam and Muslims, straight up, no spin. And it's also a community where interfaith allies come together, struggling and striving to make the world a better place. When Taliban leaders sat across the table and Muslim women's rights hung in the balance, Dr. Daisy Khan didn't flinch. WISE Women is where faith gets real and women's voices get amplified. We talk about building bridges, not walls. About an Islam rooted in justice, equality, and acknowledging women's pivotal role. About the social issues that divide us, and how we might come together. This is for the curious. For people who don't always understand each other but want to. A place to belong when you're feeling lost. We believe women are civilization's heroes. They are not on the periphery, they are central to community building, to society, to the world. We will highlight that truth, episode after episode. Too many people have talked about religion without women's vantage point. That ends here. Subscribe if you're tired of empty words and want something realm something that leaves you not just thinking, but ready to build a better world together.

Daisy Khan interviews coach and author Rina Makhdoom (Rina Motivates) about redefining success beyond salary to include faith, family, and purpose.

Rina describes feeling empty in a six-figure engineering career, then pivoting motherhood by building a home-based cosmetics business during commutes and lunch breaks, facing fear, income instability, and rejection. They discuss prioritizing “faith first, family second,” not seeking everyone’s approval, getting help at home, investing in self-growth, and finding mentors.
