Comedian Amy Roko Opens Up About Niqab, Hate Comments, and Her Fitness Journey

Comedian and creator ‪@amyroko‬ joins Dr. Sheen for a wide ranging conversation that goes from freelance chaos to the realities of being a woman online in the Middle East. They read hate comments together, talk numerology and life path numbers, and get into the double standards Amy has faced around wearing (and not wearing) hijab. Amy also opens up about her fitness journey, a GLP-1 experience that landed her in the hospital, and how she's rebuilding her relationship with food and her body. It ends on house tours, wealth, and book recommendations.
