Wait for the question about the nickname! It had Jouhayna in stitches of laughter!

This episode is the very first reveal of a conversation game with a twist that Jouhayna created. The guests were not told this game would be played so it was a little surprise for the guest!

Ali shares his micro-biography and it was full of ups and downs.

As I set out to launch this podcast, focusing on meaningful interviews, I had a realization: In many interviews I've enjoyed, I barely got to know the hosts. So, before diving into guest interviews, I wanted to share a little more about myself with you all. Think of it as a warm introduction before we embark on this journey together.

A sneak peek at what Press Pause with Jouhayna is about.

A little briefing on what to expect when listening to this podcast.

Taking you on a journey of how I learned about the power of my reaction from early on in my childhood.

Everyone that knows me personally knows I never cared about getting married! Ever! If anything, I treated it as something to actively avoid. Here are the answers to many of your curiosities and a reminder never to settle for less than you deserve and desire.

A brutally honest episode about everything I put my body through purely out of self-loathing because I never felt good enough about the person that looked back at me when I looked in the mirror.

Setting boundaries is not easy and I went on a journey to have a deeper understanding of my psyche. For the first time in my life decided to prioritise my own happiness and it was the best decision of my life. I'm not going to lie but it really hurt when I lost people that meant the world to me at one point in my life. In a moment of self reflection I asked myself, "Is it a loss if they didn't care as much for me as I did for them?"

A moment of appreciation for my Emirati sisters.

When I thought all hope was lost, I was given one last chance to prove myself and realised years later when I was reflecting on my life that all the rejections in my life redirected me to what was truly meant for me.

Everything I did in my life was for everyone else and making sure they would be okay until I had a major wake-up call...

I believe self-awareness is the key to self-improvement. The pandemic played a catalyst to making many across the world procrastinate, and so you're not alone in this. I hope this episode helps you if you are in a procrastination bubble like I was.

I have condensed my life into three chapters for you. I felt it was important for you to get to know me, and so here I am speaking from the heart about my life up until this point. I personally love audiobooks and designed this episode to be like one.
