• Creating Calm: Organising Your Home, Reducing the Mental Load & Making Family Life Easier with Nada Daher 07.07.2026 47dk

  Today's guest is someone whose work I think every parent will relate to. I'm joined by Nada, founder of The Home Order, a professional home organisation company helping families create homes that feel calmer, function better and work with family life, rather than against it. Because let's be honest, most of us aren't striving for Pinterest-perfect pantries. We're simply trying to keep on top of the endless piles of laundry, find the PE kit on a Monday morning, stop buying things we already ow...
• Love, Money & Starting Again: The Truth About Divorce and Financial Independence with Natasha Mahtani 30.06.2026 50dk

  Today I'm joined by Natasha Mahtani, a Relationship Strategist and Financial Wellbeing Mentor, and this is one of those conversations that I think every woman should listen to. We talk about modern relationships, the realities of marriage and divorce, and why financial wellbeing is something we all need to be paying more attention to — regardless of our relationship status. Because whilst we spend so much time talking about emotional wellbeing, we often don't talk enough about money, financia...
• Everything You Need to Know About The World of Peptides with Dean Henry 16.06.2026 47dk

  Peptides seem to be everywhere at the moment. Whether it's social media, wellness clinics, biohacking podcasts or conversations between friends, it feels like everyone is talking about peptides for everything from better sleep and energy to fat loss, muscle building and ageing well. But what actually are peptides? Which claims are backed by science, which are overhyped, and how do people know whether they're right for them? Today I'm joined by Dean Henry to unpack the world of peptides and he...
• The Truth About Healthy Hair: Colour, Extensions & Living in Dubai with Louise Bailey 09.06.2026 55dk

  Hair is one of those topics that seems to come up in every conversation. Whether it's finding a colour that actually suits you, covering greys, deciding whether extensions are worth it, or simply trying to make your hair look a little fuller and healthier, there is so much advice out there that it can be difficult to know what is actually right for you. And I think so many women are looking for that balance. We want beautiful hair, but we also want healthy hair. We want colour that looks natu...
• Why “Having It All” Still Isn’t Working for Women with Stefanie O’Connell 19.05.2026 50dk

  Today I’m joined by Stefanie O’Connell - an award-winning journalist who writes about money, power and ambition, and the author of The Ambition Penalty. Her work challenges a lot of what we’ve been told as women - that if we just work hard enough, lean in, and push through the imposter syndrome, we’ll get there. But the data tells a very different story. Stefanie looks at the real cost of ambition for women - financially, professionally and personally and why so many women are feeling b...
• From Idea to Income: How to Actually Build a Business with Emily Griffiths 12.05.2026 50dk

  Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever had a business idea… and then immediately felt completely overwhelmed by everything that comes next. Because I think the idea is often the easy part - it’s the ‘how do I actually turn this into something real?’ that stops so many people in their tracks. I’m joined by Emily Griffiths, who has built and scaled her own business and really understands what it takes to go from that initial spark of an idea through to actually making it work - the research...
• Alcohol-Free Living, Anxiety & Rethinking Social Life with Sophie Rose-Arnold  28.04.2026 45dk

Sophie Rose-Arnold is an alcohol-free advocate who shares a refreshingly honest perspective on what it really looks like to step away from drinking - especially as a woman navigating motherhood, friendships, and everyday life. After nearly two decades of drinking, Sophie made the decision to stop completely - not because she hit a rock bottom, but because alcohol ...
• From Korean Skincare to Injectables: What Really Works in the World of Skin with Grainne Sullivan 21.04.2026 1sa 6dk

  Today’s guest is someone I’ve been really looking forward to having on the podcast - especially because she brings so much clarity to a space that can feel noisy, confusing, and very trend-led. Grainne Sullivan is the founder of Glazed Aesthetics, and she’s known for her thoughtful, no-nonsense approach to skin care. Rather than chasing quick fixes or viral treatments, Gráinne focuses on long-term skin health, education, and doing less - but better. In this episode, we talk about what actuall...
• Travelling With Kids (Without Losing Your Mind) 07.04.2026 26dk

  Travelling with kids isn’t quite the relaxing escape it once was - but it can still be one of the most rewarding, memorable things you do as a family. In this episode, I’m sharing an honest take on what travel really looks like with three children and some of my favourite spots to visit, including the JW Marriott Maldives Resort & Spa - which struck that rare balance between true luxury and genuine ease with children - and Feuerstein Nature Family Resort, which was quite possibly the most...
• Relocating to Dubai, Slow Living & Raising Kids Overseas with Laura Jones 31.03.2026 55dk

Laura Jones is a mum of three and the creator behind Home by Laura Jones, where she shares a slower, more intentional side of life in a city often known for its speed, luxury and excess. After moving to Dubai over a decade ago, Laura made a conscious decision to build a life that s...
• The Juggle, The Diagnosis & The Breakthroughs: Helen Farmer on Living Life Loudly and Honestly 24.03.2026 52dk

  Today’s guest is no stranger to the spotlight -or to the juggle. Helen Farmer is a much-loved voice across the UAE: broadcaster, writer, mum, and now, published author. But behind the headlines and the mic is a story of grit, growth, and learning to thrive with ADHD - while raising kids, writing books, and showing up every day with honesty and heart. In this episode, we explore what balance really means, how diagnosis can reshape identity, and the surprising freedom that comes fro...

  Today, we’re joined by Beth Clay, founder of Finance Her Well, to talk about something many of us think about often but don’t always talk about openly - money.

• Motherhood, Ambition & Reinventing Your Life with Camilla Rhuda 24.02.2026 48dk

  Today we’re joined by a guest whose journey proves that reinvention doesn’t have to take years - sometimes it starts with one video and the courage to press post. Camilla Rhuda is a Dubai-based content creator who went from working as a teacher and governess to building a rapidly growing social media platform in less than a year. What began as a creative outlet after becoming a mum quickly turned into a career - with viral videos, brand partnerships, and a community drawn to her honesty, humo...
• From Burnout to Balance with Sana El Banna 17.02.2026 39dk

  Today we’re diving into something that has honestly blown my mind - gut health. I recently did three tests with Precision Wellness: the Gut Chex, Nutri Chex, and a Functional Blood Test. The results were eye-opening. We found that my gut was out of balance, the supplements I’d been religiously taking weren’t even being absorbed, and I might not actually be coeliac after all. So I had to get the brilliant Dr. Sana from Precision Wellness on the podcast to break this all down. We’re going to ta...

• Stress, Burnout, and Nervous System Regulation with Alice Law 03.02.2026 1sa 3dk

  Today’s guest is Alice Law - a wellbeing expert, educator and the author of Unstressable, a book that completely reframes how we understand stress. Alice’s work focuses on the nervous system and why so many high-functioning women feel permanently exhausted, overwhelmed or wired, even when life looks “fine” from the outside. What I love about Alice’s approach is that it’s not about bubble baths or adding more to your to-do list. It’s about understanding what’s actually happening in your body, ...
• Motherhood, Business, and the Juggle: Aliesha Malik on Finding Balance 27.01.2026 33dk

  Today we’re joined by Aliesha Brar - a woman who truly knows what it means to wear many hats. From fashion and luxury to design, culinary arts and now entrepreneurship, Aliesha’s career has taken her across industries and continents. But it was becoming a mother that inspired her to take a leap into creating something of her own. As the founder of Boo Boo Laand, a premium children’s entertainment concept in Dubai, Aliesha has combined creativity, business acumen, and her personal experi...

Lewis is also a hands-on dad of two, this conversation goes beyond property.
