We are all stressed! In this episode, I sit down with the stress expert Alice Law! Her new book is out with Mo Gawdat and we discuss how our external lives stress us out, why we glorify being busy and how we don't appreciate the impact our first thought of the day has on our quality of life!

In this episode, we have the incredible Chanel Ayan. You might know her as the feisty character from Real Housewives of Dubai but on this episode we had a very unique chat. Ayan opened up about her difficult childhood, educated us all about female genital mutilation (FGM) as a survivor herself, and we talked about embracing success while balancing family responsibilities.
