Reconciling Faith and Desire: with Dr Sara Glass
Episode 3
Tuesday, 23 July, 2024
In this episode, hosts Melissa and Zahra, are joined by Dr. Sara Glass, psychologist and author of Kissing Girls on Shabbat. Dr. Glass’s journey from an insular religious community to embracing her true self is both profound and inspiring. We delve into her personal experiences with coming out, going back into the closet, and ultimately finding self-acceptance. We also explore our journeys through arranged marriages within Muslim and Jewish communities, examining how these experiences shape our views on intimacy and desire. Together, we discuss the challenge of navigating our identities without traditional guidance and how we’re stepping into the role of becoming the elders we need for ourselves and others. Tune in to hear how her role as a therapist and her work with clients shape her writing in Kissing Girls on Shabbat. Learn more about Dr. Glass and her work at drsaraglass.com.
