Boy meets girl, sparks fly, you are instantly drawn to each other and the rest as they say, is history. Hmmmmm.... Isn't this how we were all raised to believe in love.  It’s either that you're attracted to each other like opposite ends of a magnet or, what you have, is not love. But, what if you meet someone who seems to tick all of your boxes, and you just don’t feel any butterflies-in-your-stomach-thing with them?  Does chemistry = love?  Tune in to find out.

Do you find yourself walking away from situations or people you cannot handle?  Do you think it's easier to hide behind a mask so people don't see the 'Real You'?  Do you push people away when you need them the most?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be holding on to emotional baggage that is holding you back from being in deep meaningful relationships.  Tune in to listen to why we build walls instead of bridges in our relationships.  

2020 : A year where life seemed closer to a sci-fi movie than reality.  A year when all of us were forced to create a new normal.  A year when words such as social distancing and pandemic were used by all young and old.  A year when we realized that we are more connected than we thought and a virus in one city can bring the whole world down to its knees.  Many lessons learned and many beliefs changed.  2020 will truly be a year that we won't forget for decades to come.  Here's looking at what it was and trying to move ahead in looking towards what 2021 can be.  Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2021.

Do you believe in the things you feel but can't see?  If your answer is yes then you also believe that energy never lies.  But what does it mean to trust your energy and use it to heal yourself?  Tune in to listen to my conversation with Energy Healer Gene Krackehl who has been healing people for over 20 years.  He is an author of 2 books and has worked with over 6000 clients.  Listen to us talk about how and why energy healing works.  

What does it mean to be human?  A simple question with a not so simple answer.  Are you able to understand your potential as a human or do you use the phrase "I am only human" as a sign of weakness.  What does it mean for you to belong to the most advanced species on the planet. Tune in.

Social-distancing, self-isolation, quarantine... I think we can all agree that we would be happy to never hear these words again in our lifetime.  An unprecedented situation which has brought life as we knew it, to a complete halt.  Life can be tough but in times like these, its easy to get over-whelmed and let your fears and negative thoughts take over.  Are you someone who accepts these dips as fate or are you someone who fights back and comes out on top.  Ask yourself - What is the dip teaching me?  Lets explore.  Tune in!

Family - Love them or hate them but you cannot ignore them.  What does family mean to you?  Do you feel you cannot break free from those you are bound by blood or marriage even though there is no love lost between you. Are we meant to not only suffer through the trauma of family feuds but also feel compelled to pass it on to the next generation?  Exploring what happens when families feud and how we can find a way to understand what is truly at stake.  Tune in!

Let's face it - Covid19 has taken over our lives.  Life as normal has completely come to a halt and we are constantly trying to find the new normal.  This is difficult because the situation is changing rapidly and most of us are left to decide how to tackle this new threat. The debates keep raging, on whether this is a major threat that requires the measures adopted by most countries or is it just an over-reaction to something that is not as serious as its hyped to be.  The divide seems to be quite distinct between those who believe the facts and stats and those who believe it will blow over.  Which side are you on?  Tune in!

In the Zone! Ninja Focus!  Heard about it but don't know what it really is or how to achieve it?  Today I am talking about the Flow State.  An optimum state of consciousness that can be achieved by everyone who is willing to go the extra mile to live a life beyond their limitations.  Tune In !

How can you find something unless you are aware of seeking it, for what you are seeking is also seeking you.  Within each of us exists a myriad of emotions.  Whilst we have access to these when needed, we tend to hold on to some of them far too long after the event they showed up for has ended.  Feeling unhappy about something that is happening is not the same as calling yourself unhappy.  Emotions come and go based on situations in life and holding on to them keeps us stuck in time, not allowing us to move forward.  You don't have to suffer over and over again for a situation that no longer exists.  Be aware of shining your focus on thoughts and emotions that serve you well.  Tune in.

We use a complex blend of words to communicate our thoughts, ideas and feelings.  Yet, we feel misunderstood.  Why is that we are able to speak a language fluently but are not able to communicate effectively?  Words are the most common means to communicate with others but not everyone is able to use them successfully.  Is it because other are not able to understand us or is it because we are not focussed on finding the right way to get our message across?  Let's explore this topic to find out how we can get our message across to the right audience.  Tune In.

You make a conscious decision to do something or achieve a goal and whilst you may have a great start, you find yourself getting in your own way.  Most people who experience self-sabotage are not able to understand why they destroy their own chances of achieving what they want.  They feel like they have no control over their mind and body and this leads to several negative emotions that can be overwhelming.  Tune in to listen to what happens and what you can do to align yourself with your body and mind. 

What does being late mean?  Can we crush our dreams just because we didn't have them at the time we were supposed to?  Do we need to be stuck in places we do not want to be in, or do things that give us no joy, just because we feel it's too late to change?  Is our life worth giving up over these imaginary rules and boundaries?  My search to find the right answer lead me to paths I have always known exist.  We have all we need inside of us to make the changes, we need to make in our lives.  Never settle for less than you deserve and never quit trying to live the best version of your life.  What else is there to live for?  Hello and welcome to my podcast - Unapologetically KK!

What does it mean to be unapologetic.  The dictionary definition is "someone who is unwilling to make or express an apology".  To me its a lot more than that.  Being unapologetic conveys a sense of strength and freedom to be whoever you choose to be and not apologize for it just because you do not conform to a standard.  How can an individual by its very nature of being one, conform? What are we conforming to anyway and why?  Why are people who forge new paths subjected to ridicule and punished for it?  Even in this day and age we are still fighting for our right to be able to express ourselves freely.  There are so many different reason for being unapologetic but the one that matters the most is : How can you apologize for being yourself.  Stay strong and unapologetic always!

Ugly, Beautiful, Fit, Fat, Successful, Good for Nothing, Star, Black Sheep! These are just words right? Wrong!!!  They take on a whole new meaning when used as a label to describe someone else or yourself. Why do we do this to ourselves or others?  Why, when we can spread love, do we spread hate?  Why, when we crave kindness, we still have the capacity to be cruel?  Have you ever thought about what just one word like ugly can do to a person.  Carrying the burden of labels is excruciatingly painful and so, so unnecessary.  Let's stop this cycle of destruction today and give ourselves a new label - EMPOWERED!  Hello and welcome to my podcast.

Is the art of conversation dying?  Have digital communications not only abbreviated the language by providing emojis and gifs to express our feelings, but maybe also given us a platform where actions do not have to follow words?  How many times have you actually laughed out loud when writing LOL or wanted to hug the person or love the person when u sent hearts and flowers and hugs on text messages?  Face to face conversations require not only words but a mind body connect too.  It has become so easy to say things on a digital platform that we are unable to say to a person face to face.  People break-up, bully, abuse and malign others on digital platforms and would probably never have the courage to say those same things face to face.  Words account for only 7% of our communication, tone of voice 38% and body language 55%.  In digital conversations, are we then only conveying 7% of our actual thoughts?  Tune in to listen to the pros and cons of each side. 

If we understood the power of our mind, we would never think a negative thought again.  How many times have we felt something negative and had no idea why? If we don't know what is going on inside of us, then who will?  How can we reach out to others to tell us what is happening within us? What affects us, and why can't we stop the voice in our head?  Too many questions?  Tune in to listen to the my podcast - The Power of Thought to find some of the answers.  KK

Life in plastic is fantastic.  This was from a song with the characters Barbie and Ken, but has come to stand for the unrealistic beauty standards we aspire for.  If Barbie were a real woman, she would be approx. 6 feet tall with a 39" chest, 16" waist and 33" hip.  She would have to probably walk on all fours due to the size of her head and her long and thin neck, which would struggle to hold her head in place.  While our aspirations are not as scary, they do have some severe repercussions on our mental health.  Are we teaching our children this unreal standard of beauty?  What really is a beauty standard?  Can a population of the most diverse species on this planet have a unified beauty standard?  Sounds absurd when you say it out loud and yet that is more the rule than the exception.  An untiring quest to achieve the impossible.  With everything else we have achieved technologically, medically and spiritually, this is perhaps the dark side of innovation.  Tune in to listen to me attempt to unravel the mysteries of beauty standards.

Home is where the heart is! What can be more true than that?  It's not just four walls of concrete to shelter you against the elements.  Its an emotion you feel every time you walk in through that door.  Its your space, your comfort zone, your shelter.  What would happen if you were to lose it one day?  What would it feel like to have no place to go to at the end of the day?  Being homeless is not about just not having a place to stay.  Its about the emotional trauma and indignity of living your life as if you are not human anymore.  You need to adapt to several different situations just to survive on the streets . My recent vacation to New York really hit hard when I saw several people living on the streets.  This time, I couldn't just give them some money and walk past them and forget them and neither could I ignore them.  This podcast has been one of the toughest ones I've done so far and it has only given me more strength and determination to continue to do what I can to highlight topics that may make us feel uncomfortable but need to be discussed and actioned.  Tune in.

I am angry! I am sad!  I am worthless!  Ever had moments when you focus on everything that is wrong in your life?  If you stop and notice, it is usually when you have time on your hands and not much to do.  There is a pattern that shows that we think of the most negative things when we are idle.  Having nothing to do is somehow a trigger to a negative thought process.  Instead of just enjoying ourselves and taking a break, we think about all the things we should be doing and are not doing.  There is a way to break the cycle of negative thoughts and its starts with you wanting to break it.  Conscious thought leads to conscious behavior.  So what do you want to do about your negative thoughts?  Hello and welcome to my podcast - #unapologeticallyKK 

Fitness is a journey, not a destination says celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala.  Yasmin has trained several celebrities from the Indian Film Industry and was also the first trainer to bring Pilates to India.  With over 25 years of experience in a highly competitive industry she has not only survived but thrived.  She tells us what it takes to transform your body into the shape you aspire for and is not interested in quick fixes and diets.  All her clients, celebrity or not have to go through the same foundation process she has perfected over the years.  Tune in to hear her talk all things health and fitness.

The one organ we all associate with love can also be the deadliest.  Almost 18 million deaths are due to cardio vascular diseases annually, which accounts for 31% of all global deaths.  So why are our hearts failing?  What are we doing to this organ to cause irreparable damage?  Stress, poor eating and sleeping habits, alcohol, smoking, drugs and several other factors can lead to heart disease.  In conversation with Cardiologist Dr. Haresh Mehta who tells us what is happening to our heart and how to keep it healthy.  The most important thing, he says is to acknowledge you need to change your lifestyle and get help at the right time. Tune in.

"I can't do this anymore, I'm totally burnt out". Have you said or heard this before?  We have all felt the need to take a break because we have pushed ourselves too hard but BOS or burn out syndrome is beyond just exhaustion.  It is when you have pushed yourself so far out of what your body and mind is capable of handling, that you could have reached a point of apathy.  Symptoms can be physical or mental or both and can be more severe than depression and exhaustion.  Total burn out can lead to major diseases of the body and mind.  Burn out has also recently been defined as Occupational Burn Out by the WHO where it is described as a syndrome linked to longterm unresolved work related stress. In conversation with Dr. Saliha Afridi, Clinical Psychologist and Managing Director of Lighthouse Arabia a mental health and wellness facility in Dubai.  Tune in to find out more about what the symptoms are and how to get help.

Fake Friends! A term we are all familiar with. At every stage in our lives, we have come across someone who is not a genuine friend or is pretending to live a life that is far away from reality.  In today's world where connecting with someone electronically affords you the luxury of anonymity and duplicity we have lost the art of conversation and genuine emotions.  Everything has to look good on the outside, even if we are crumbling on the inside.  Have you ever asked why?  Why should I pretend to be someone I am not?  Why should I project an image that is fake?  Why am I afraid to stand out and be myself?  The only answer is fear.  Tune in to listen to my podcast about what being fake means and why we feel the need to be fake.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.  What do we really know about this?  Yet we are quick to judge and believe we have the right to label those who are struggling with it.  Knowledge and compassion go a long way in not only helping those with this disorder but may also minimize its effect in their lives.  If we were to just understand what living with this disorder or any other mental health issue feels like, we would not only be able to change the way people deal with it but also the quality of their lives.  Being labeled and isolated only adds to an already difficult situation and makes it so much harder to deal with its symptoms.  In conversation with Dr. Thoraiya who tells us all about ADHD and what it means for the individual and family once they have been diagnosed.  Tune in. 

Anger is a common emotion we have all experienced at some time or another but do you know there are different types of anger.  When something external causes a negative emotion within you, you tend to react negatively but what if I tell you that by understanding what you are feeling, you can change your reaction.  Understanding yourself better is the key to understanding the environment around you.  Taking control of your reactions helps you take control back from external sources.  Changing your behavior is difficult but not impossible.  Tune in to listen to and understand the many facets of anger and how to overcome them.

What goes around, comes around! Karma gets us all in the end.  Isn't that what we have heard numerous times? Do we really understand the true principles of Karma?  The true meaning of Karma is Action.  It says that the effect of what we do in the moment will define our future.  It is not punishment and reward system as we all imagine but instead it teaches us that through positive action we can change our life at any time.  Positive behavior creates a positive life and negative behavior creates a negative life.  If you would like to understand this precious universal concept a bit more, tune in.

We come into this world needing care and we leave this world needing care.  However, are we able to love and nurture our parents as much as we do our children?  With the advances in medical care, we are living longer than previous generations.  Are we able to provide the care and attention the older generation needs?  Living and dying with dignity is what each one of us desires and there is nothing worse than making someone who has given us the best start in life, feel like they have been forgotten. In conversation with Shainoor Khoja who wants to dedicate her life and work to giving back to those who have been left behind and feel like they have nothing left to contribute to their family or society.  We need to do a lot more for our elders and there are several people who are leading the way to help the Silver Generation live their life with dignity.  Tune In.

We all will reach the departure gate...one day.  Have you thought about what will happen to your family when you are gone?  Will they be financially secure?  The grief of losing a loved one is the single most painful thing to experience and not being able to take care of your family due to financial issues makes it even more traumatic.  Inheritance laws can be complicated and difficult to understand and division of assets are not straight forward in the absence of a will.  If you have assets then it is imperative for you to have a will to distribute those assets to your loved ones according to your last wishes.  The process is quick and easy and can save your family a lot of unnecessary heartache.  In conversation with Naila Sarwar who is a lawyer and registered Wills Expert based in Dubai.  She answers all questions relating to the why, when and how to register a will. Tune In.

Long hours in the office?  No me time? No family time? No breaks? Sounds familiar?  You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed with the amount of time you spend at work and the misery it brings if you are stuck in a job that doesn't make you happy.  Doing what needs to be done to get a salary is often associated with dead-end jobs and feeling stuck in them to pay the bills.  But what if you could change your perspective? What if you could be a thought leader and make a few changes to improve your work-life balance?  In conversation with Maria Haggo who is the founder of Little Miss Wellness, a company that provides wellness programs for corporates and individuals to create their own happiness.  Tune In.

An inappropriate touch.  A crude comment.  A sexual advance brushed off as a joke.  Sexual Harassment is subtle and if not stopped or reported will become worse and can turn to assault.  There is a lot at stake if you speak up but there is a lot more to lose if you don't.  What feels wrong to you is wrong and you do not need to conform to anyone else's idea of what is appropriate.  There is no easy way out if you are facing sexual harassment.  Like facing a bully, you have to take your power back or you will end up losing more than just your job or your relationships.  In conversation with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Thoraiya Kanafani to understand what sexual harassment is and what you can do to help yourself face it.  Tune In.

Ever heard of Gaslighting?  No?  Neither had I.  Its a form of emotional abuse meant to alter your perception of reality.  I am not claiming to be an expert in mental health issues, only someone who is hoping to bring the topic to light one conversation at a time.  My sole aim is to highlight the issues  causing us so much emotional pain that we are unable to function due to the lack of support and options available.  Mental health is not a taboo subject and the more people who talk about it, the more awareness there will be.  So lets make talking about mental health as easy as talking about physical health.  If you are going through any emotional abuse, get help and if you know someone else who is, then help them get help.  Together we can help eachother live a happier and healthier life.  Tune in

Every relationship has bumps in the road but do you know when that bump turns to a huge red stop sign and its time to leave?  Not every toxic relationship is abusive and the signs may not be obvious.  If you find yourself constantly anxious and fearful of when the next argument will erupt and how it will disrupt your life, you need to listen to Clinical Psychologist Dr. Thoraiya Kanafani talk about toxic relationships.  You are not alone and silence is not an effective way to deal with it.  Tune in.

Fad diets can change your weight but good nutrition can change your life... The health and wellness industry is growing by leaps and bounds with new magic solutions being launched on a regular basis.  How do you navigate this holy grail for the eternal quest to look and feel great?  In conversation with Co-Founder of The Clean Living Company Dean Henry who brought the magical bone broth to the UAE after reaping its amazing benefits.  He tells us how it has worked for his clients who are growing rapidly and how he is already expanding into new markets due to its immense success and demand.  If you have heard of bone broth but were not sure what it was or what benefits it can bring you, tune in.

Stress, Anxiety, Depression.  These words are too common in today's work environments.  What is it that causes us stress at work?  Who in the organization is responsible for ensuring employees are productive and motivated?  Why do we stay in jobs that we hate and are we suffering from work FOMO?  If you have these questions then you need to listen to Founder and MD of flow2thrive Linda Jarnhamn talk to us about how we as individuals are responsible for our own health and motivation. Tune in.

Love it or hate it, Valentine's day is here to stay.  I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions towards this day, from wanting the hearts and flowers to labelling myself a Valentine's Day Scrooge, saying humbug every time the day came around.  However, life teaches us so much and although the day remains the same, our perspective is constantly changing.  Wishing you all an amazing day of love, joy and happiness.  Tune In.

Human Beings! So complex and yet so simple.  We allow ourselves to become overwhelmed with pain whilst trying our best to avoid it.  What would happen if we were to face all our fears and insecurities and not allow them to build-up within us to a point of complete chaos?  In conversation with health psychologist Dr. Melanie Schlatter who tells us what its like to go through life being too hard on yourself and why seeing a therapist is not as alarming as we think it to be.  Tune In.

Its 2019 but it still feels like we are in the dark ages where size and beauty is concerned.  We need to be aware of the fact that the increase in the rates of plastic surgeries to create a perfect exterior is a cry for help.  There should be no place for discrimination against men and women based on their size or perceived ideals of beauty.  In this world where we can be anything, we need to be kind to ourselves first.  In conversation with Dr. Thoraiya Kanafani who is a clinical psychologist dealing with eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder in addition to other mental health issues plaguing us in today's world.  Let's focus on the real worth of people by changing the way we see each other beyond size, unrealistic beauty standards and body shapes.  Tune in.

"You can't sit with us" is an iconic phrase from an iconic movie that resonated with so many teenage girls.  If you have ever been discriminated against or singled out and bullied, you know what I am talking about.  Mean girls exist and not just in school and universities but at work and in social situations too.  There is nothing worse than being told you do not belong and feel shunned by the people you considered friends.  Most of the young girls  and women blame themselves and internalize feeling of shame, guilt and anger which creates social barriers for them in several areas of their life and future relationships.  Tune in to hear about what we can do as parents to see the signs of emotional trauma and how we can help our children navigate this difficult phase of their teenage years.

Angels live among us.  They are here to help and support us when we need it the most.  However, these Angels mean business.  They belong to the Women's Angel Investor Network - WAIN, in Dubai.  WAIN was started to support women entrepreneurs in the region by providing mentoring and financial support.  They believe through this network they have been able to find not only businesses that are innovative and run by women but also business savvy women investors looking to be mentors and provide capital funding. In conversation with WAIN Director Lucy Chow who talks to us about what it takes to be an Angel and how women entrepreneurs in this region can benefit from the network.

Technology can be a powerful tool when used properly.  However, research is showing that addiction to electronic gadgets is growing at an alarming rate for children under the age of 8.  Every parent wants whats best for their child and isolating your child by barring them from using a gadget may not be the solution.  In conversation with Anisa Ismail, who as a kindergarten teacher was alarmed enough to quit her job and start a company called Kids Unplugged and write a book, How Electronics Stole Childhood. Tune in to listen to her talk about her experiences with children as young as 2 years old and how she is helping parents cope with this new age monster.

The C word.  No one wants to be told they have cancer but, once you hear it, you need to quickly switch to survivor mode.  The first few weeks after the diagnosis can wreak emotional and physical havoc on you and your family.  My guest today is Linda Berlot whose first brush with cancer was when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Her sister was then diagnosed and she felt she had a sword hanging over her head.  She has managed to not only beat breast cancer but is now an active member of the growing community of Breast friends who supports others fighting the disease.  Tune in to listen to her story.

Are you healthy? Are you well?  They can be two different things.  Being healthy is not just being disease free but feeling well.  Our body is a marvelous machine that can adapt to a lot of different situations and environments but what happens when we can't identify the reason for not feeling well?  In conversation with Dr. Shefali Verma who is a Functional Medicine Practitioner who loves to ask a lot of questions and treat the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.  Tune in if you have ever felt like no one is able to help you overcome an issue only you can feel internally, but is not visible to others. 

We all have stories and we wish we could write them well.  My guest today is Kira Jean, Founder of The Dreamwork Collective, a print and digital publishing house, says we can. Writing is a personal journey that requires a tone that can connect with an audience because we all want to write a book for others to read and appreciate and we may not know what to do once we have that idea.  What do we do to write that book and once its written how do we publish it?  If you have these questions then you need to listen to Kira give us the answers.  Writing the book is the beginning of the process, not the end.  

Its the New Year and we have all decided to do better and be better, but did you know that 80% of people fail to keep their resolutions beyond February.  Some of us never even get started and of those that do, only 5% actually manage to achieve their resolutions.  Let's face it, the numbers don't look good but we keep making new ones every year because we like to believe we can always do better.  If we don't have hope for a better future, what is left for us to look forward to.  Let's try and motivate eachother to achieve atleast some if not all of our resolutions this year.  Wishing you all a Happy and Successful 2019

Sometimes you have to overcome the fear to get what you deserve.  We all deserve a happy life where we feel secure and loved.  This is especially true if we have children because we owe it to them to be a role model of what life can be if we break the chains of fear and look for a better future.  In conversation with Attorney at Law in the UAE, Diana Hamade who deals with heart breaking cases of relationships gone bad and is tasked with the difficult job of finding the path towards freedom for her clients.

Tune in to listen to her talk about all things happiness and what we need to do to be happy.

Love and Compassion are necessities, not luxuries.  Without them, humanity cannot survive.  This quote by The Dalai Lama is simple and accurate.  We cannot live in this world ignoring our responsibilities towards our planet and all those who inhabit it.  In this day and age when over-consumption of all things, physical and emotional has become the norm, we need to take a step back and question what we need to do to create balance in our life and our environment.  In conversation with Entrepreneur, Author and Philanthropist, Gaurav Sinha who explores these issues in his book Compassion Inc.

Often the deepest pain pushes you to grow to your highest self.  There is no greater pain than losing a child and my guest speaker turned her pain to purpose by starting a foundation to help as many new born babies as she can. In the six years since losing her 4 month old daughter Zahara, Danielle Wilson Naqvi has helped save thousands of babies by providing new born screening facilities in Pakistan through her foundation The ZB Foundation.

The greatest threat to our planet is the thought that someone else will save it.  We think we are not responsible for problems our planet is facing but if we all were to do just one thing to save it and do it consistently, it would have a huge impact.  The time will run out, if not in our or our children's lifetime then their future generation's lifetime.  In conversation with Environmentalist Mariska Nell about what we can do and should do to help create a better home for the future generations.

Who is responsible for your success?  Who is responsible for motivating you when things go wrong?  Who is responsible for never quitting until you succeed?  You!!!  The speech I heard recently by Snoop Dogg made me want to find the answer to the question : Why do we find it so difficult to praise ourselves?

The recent D&G racism row got me thinking, what is racism and why are people racist?  What makes a certain group of people feel they are better than others and why we must stand up for each other when we are around someone who voices their despicable views. 

Our children are our future, teach them well and watch them lead the way! I am sure Whitney Houston didn't know about the social media tsunami the parents of today would face.  In conversation with Dr. Andrea Tosatto discussing the effects of the internet, social media and electronic devices on our children.

If you have a platform to influence people, you have the responsibility to use it for good.  My guest Engy Kiwan has an impressive track record for working her way up to a position of influence and using it to spread the work of charitable institutions like the Unicef, ZB Foundation and the Global Gift Gala internationally.  Listen to her talking about her journey from the world of banking to being in an advertisement for Coca-Cola, a public speaker and the host of the Al Gouna film festival in Egypt

Athletes are made with 90% power of the mind and 10% training of the body.  Here I am speaking to Amna Al Hadad who breaks the norms and myths surrounding women athletes in the Middle East.  She says if you can dream it and put the effort in training for it, you can achieve it!

Why do we make decisions that have major impact on our lives, in a hurry.  Haven't we learned that Haste Makes Waste? A recent quick decision turned out to be a bitter learning experience and made me realize that we don't always learn from our mistakes!

Jack of all Trades, Master of None!  We all know that is not a complement but is it so wrong to try and do several different things in life to find something you truly enjoy?  Is it wrong to just focus on being happy every single day no matter what you do?  

Talking on the radio about being a self taught fashion designer after a 20+ year career in real estate, what to wear, where to eat, the influence of social media and the future of fashion. A fun and interesting conversation with Helen Farmer at my favourite station Dubai Eye 103.8 FM

Life is not always about making one decision and sticking to it even if it doesn't make you happy. Life is about being happy with every decision you make. Take your control back and do that thing you always dreamed of doing.

Our life isn't one thing or the other. It's miraculous and mundane, messy and perfect, calm within chaos, all things at once. Let's explore these connections and how they affect us one conversation at a time.
