Episode Details

“No foreplay. We’re literally just going straight in.”

That’s comedian Salma Hindy, and honestly? It’s the perfect way to kick off this week’s episode.

Salma grew up as the daughter of an imam in Toronto, enforcing the rules harder than anyone. Then, somewhere between removing her hijab, quitting engineering, moving to New York, and being disowned by her father, she had to figure out who she actually was, and how to start dating.

This week, Mehak (@whathemehak) sits down with Salma (@salma.hindy) for one of those conversations that really goes there. Salma opens up about being estranged from her father, the two years of celibacy she chose and what prompted them, and why vaginismus is NOT a vagina Christmas (it’s quite the opposite). She shares how ayahuasca helped her heal her relationship with men, why she always dates younger, what exactly a “chuckle fucker” is, and her biggest pet peeve in modern dating. And she makes the case for living by design instead of living by permission.
