Welcome to Dream with Dr Sheen.
I’m Dr Sheen, a Cambridge PhD, Oxford graduate, former management consultant turned entrepreneur, and an award-winning podcaster.
This is a show about ambition, not the polished version, but the real one. The kind that builds something extraordinary and quietly changes you in the process.
On this podcast, I sit down with founders, actors, athletes, creators, executives, and global leaders for conversations that go beyond success. We talk about the pressure, the pivots, the sacrifices, and what life actually looks like after you get everything you once thought you wanted.
Because success isn’t just about making it.
It’s about what it costs.
What it gives you.
And who you become because of it.
If you’re building something, chasing something, or starting to question everything, you’re in the right place.
New episodes of Dream with Dr Sheen every Monday.
Follow us for more stories from around the world.

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 - 133 - Your delay is on purpose| Ramadan Series 2026
Make It Make Sense: Ramadan EditionEpisode 3: When the story finally makes senseRamadan is a month of reflection, healing, and returning to Allah. But for many of us, we enter it carrying chapters of our lives that feel confusing, painful, or unfinished.Moments where we asked why.Moments where the outcome felt unfair.Moments where nothing seemed to fit into a clear plan.This series, Make It Make Sense: Ramadan Edition, reconnects the struggles we live through with the stories Allah preserved for us in the Qur’an. Stories that reveal something powerful about how divine wisdom unfolds.Because sometimes the hardest part of faith is not the hardship itself.It is living inside a chapter that has not been explained yet.In this episode, we explore the moment when meaning finally becomes clear through four powerful stories:• The surrender of Ibrahim (AS), who was asked to sacrifice the very son he waited decades to receive, revealing that the test was never about losing the blessing, but about trusting the One who gave it.• The journey of Musa (AS) and Khidr, where actions that looked destructive, unjust, and confusing were later revealed to be acts of protection, mercy, and divine precision.• The struggle of Hajar, who ran between Safa and Marwa searching for water, only to discover that the miracle of Zamzam was written in a place she never even looked.• The moment of Sulaiman (AS) and the ant, a quiet reminder that even the smallest details in creation are seen and guided by Allah.Together, these stories reveal a powerful truth.Collapse breaks you.Waiting reshapes you.But revelation is what finally explains everything.If you are in a chapter of life that feels confusing, delayed, or unfair, this episode is for you.Because sometimes the reason your story does not make sense yetis simply because you have not reached the ending.Trust the Author.You can download my Umrah Guide here: https://sheenpodcastacademy.gumroad.com/l/hijkrg

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 - 132 - Do You Trust in God?
Make It Make Sense: Ramadan EditionEpisode 2: When nothing is changing... even though you’re doing everything right.Ramadan is a month of healing, clarity, and returning to God but for so many of us, we enter it carrying unanswered questions, silent pain, or moments in our lives that just don’t make sense.This series, Make It Make Sense, is about reconnecting the struggles we live with the stories Allah preserved for us in the Qur’an. Stories of people who broke, who questioned, who felt isolated, who lost everything and yet were rebuilt through divine wisdom in ways they couldn’t see in the moment.We explore the four kinds of delay every believer faces:• False accusation and delay: through Yusuf (AS), who remained in prison for years despite his innocence.• A lifelong unanswered du’a: through Zakariya (AS), who prayed for a child long after biology said it was impossible.• Trust in uncertainty: through the mother of Musa (AS), who placed her newborn in a river and waited without answers.• Silent formation: through Musa (AS) himself, before prophethood, before miracles, before the sea split.These aren’t just stories, they’re mirrors. Reminders that delay doesn’t mean denial. It often means “not yet.”If you’re entering Ramadan in a season where nothing seems to be moving… where your du’as feel delayed, your efforts feel unnoticed, and your life feels paused… this episode is for you.Because sometimes it is not the breakdown that transforms you.It is the waiting.You can download my Umrah Guide here: https://sheenpodcastacademy.gumroad.com/l/hijkrg

Mon, 26 May 2025 - 97 - The Truth About the Middle East | Yusuf Omar
Yusuf Omar is not just an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Seen.tv — he’s also a dear friend. We filmed this episode right in the middle of Web Summit in Doha, inside the iHeart Podcast booth, while chaos buzzed around us — and somehow, this still turned into one of the most grounded, honest conversations I’ve had.
We talk about the shift in his personal beliefs after Gaza, why content creators need to speak up, and what it’s really like living in the Middle East as a global citizen. We also get into identity, racism, and the guts it takes to challenge narratives with your platform.
