In this heartfelt English episode, Arwa AlTurkait, Eating Disorder Recovery Coach and host of the Kifaya Diet Podcast, sits down with Safia Malik — an eating disorder survivor and certified recovery coach from the Carolyn Costin Institute.

Safia opens up about how Islam became her main reason to recover — how her eating disorder once acted as a veil between her and Allah, and how reconnecting through Salah, dhikr, and compassion helped her heal both spiritually and physically.

Together, Arwa and Safia explore:
✔️How faith and recovery can coexist beautifully
✔️The deeper wisdom of Salah as a grounding practice✔️The role of intention and self-compassion in healing✔️Letting go of perfectionism — both in faith and recovery✔️How setting spiritual goals can support your journey to food and body peace

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to be “perfect” to return to Allah — you just need to come as you are. 🤍
