    Dec 30 2024

    My guest today is Farah Chabaan.



    I met Farah less than a year ago shortly after my relocation to Abu Dhabi. She’s passionate, funny, smart and a really good conversationalist.

    As with all random things I do, I just asked Farah to record an episode with me, reflecting on this year and our relentless pursuits to keep our sanity in an insane world!


    In this engaging conversation, I speak with Farah about her journey in storytelling, emotional control, and the challenges of content creation. We explore the importance of personal growth, the lessons learned from career experiences, and the significance of curiosity in life.


    Farah shares her insights on navigating the creative process and offers valuable advice for newcomers in the communication field, emphasizing the importance of listening and the acceptance of failure as part of growth.


    We also explore the themes of perfectionism, success, emotional health, and the importance of deep conversations. We delved into the burden of being the 'perfect child', the need to redefine success beyond material achievements, and the power of kindness and emotional acknowledgment in personal growth.
