  Sister Fights, Stalkers & Travel Chaos Debrief ft. Jess 07.08.2026 1ч 10мин

  Sabah el kheir! This week, my sister Jess joins me for the type of episode I love the most: no structure, no filter, just two sisters sitting down and somehow ending up telling every random story we’ve collected over the years.Jess takes us through her “I accidentally went on a world tour” era, from Singapore to Malaysia, Thailand, the US, and everywhere in between. Some moments were wholesome, some were chaotic, and some were definitely just done “for the plot.”We talk about the time I became “Lost Linda” after disappearing for a few hours (yes, the police got involved, yes, my friends will never let me forget it), almost getting punched on the Paris metro, and the time we were followed in Korea where my older sister instincts came out… even though looking back, I probably could have handled the situation a little differently.We get into our family dynamics, including Jess being a triplet and claiming middle child status because she’s only one minute apart from our brothers. Meanwhile, I fully embrace being the older sister. We also talk about growing up with Arabic as our second language, the comments we get because of it, and the funny situations that come with being Lebanese. And of course, we couldn’t have a sister catch-up without talking about recent life updates: stalkers, secret admirers, and stories we probably shouldn’t be admitting publicly.So grab your coffee, your snack, and settle in for a very chaotic sister sobhiye.Follow Linda:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lindachristina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindachristinaa/YouTube: www.youtube.com/⁠@lindachristina⁩ ⁠Follow Jess:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jxssyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jessicaakaramYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC6_83L4hoz2ZO4g5WmpjWYQ Business Inquiries: [email protected] or [email protected]

  Beauty Standards, Friendship Breakups & Jealousy ft. Caren Ohanessian 21.06.2026 1ч 16мин

  Sabah el kheir!In this week’s episode, I sit down with Caren Ohanessian for a really open and honest conversation.We talk about finding comfort in doing things alone, having a routine but sometimes losing track, and what it means to actually feel grounded in your own life. Caren also opens up about her experience on social media, from Reddit conversations to the bullying she’s faced, and how being fully authentic with her content has, at times, brought even more hate.We get into her reflections on feeling like a “millennial born in the wrong generation,” how she sees beauty standards today, and her thoughts on getting work done. She speaks about embarrassment or rather the lack of it and how a lot of her confidence is rooted in her family and the support system around her.The conversation goes deeper into family dynamics, working within a family business, starting her own path, and what her life really looks like behind the content, mentally, emotionally, and physically. From body image and health scares to navigating a life that looks luxurious on the outside but is built on the hard work and discipline her family lives by.We even get into her viral moments like long nails vs short nails, what her dad thinks and more.Grab some snacks this is a good one!Follow Linda:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lindachristina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindachristinaa/YouTube: www.youtube.com/⁠@lindachristina⁩ ⁠Follow Caren:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carenohanessianTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@carenohanessian Business Inquiries: [email protected] or [email protected]

  Moving Back Home to Lebanon & Leaving Dubai (and My Job) 19.06.2025 55мин

  Sabah el kheir! We’re finally back with a new episode, and I’m laying it all on you — I’m officially leaving Dubai. After 2 years here, this chapter is coming to a close. So much has happened… I left my job, and now I’m starting to pack up my little bubble, the apartment I made feel like home.In this episode, I get into everything — work life and how I discovered my love for music and interviewing. I’ve met so many inspiring people through this journey, and the one thing they all had in common? They followed what they were passionate about and took the risk. It’s made me realize how important it is to just go for it, even when things aren’t 100% clear.It’s a bit of a nostalgic one, a bit of a reset — but mostly just me reflecting on what’s next, what I’ve learned, and why this goodbye is actually a beginning.SUBSCRIBE:http://www.youtube.com/c/lindachristinaSnapchat: lindaxinaBusiness Inquiries: [email protected]

  Sabah el kheir, ya’ll! This week, I’ve dragged Jess back to the podcast because we need to have a serious talk—but obviously, we can never be too serious.

  Do Not Erase Your Boundaries For Anyone 01.12.2024 46мин

  (VIDEO PODCAST AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY & YOUTUBE) Hi y’all, sabah el kheir! This week’s episode is a total brain dump of all the random thoughts running through my head. We’re talking about aliens in the ocean, whether I’m actually qualified to give my friends advice, and why erasing your boundaries is never okay. Lately, I’ve been giving out advice left and right, but when it’s my turn to take it, I’m like... wow, this is way easier said than done. It’s a reminder that listening to your own advice is important, but life isn’t a rulebook — you can’t just flip to the right page every time. I also get into how life is giving, not just taking. Everything you want? It’s possible. Sometimes you just have to trust that life is on your side. So, let’s sit down, catch up, and debrief!
