The Way We Live Amaeya Originals

On this episode, I talk with the inspiring Elham Al Qasim, the first Arab woman and first Emirati to ski to the North Pole. We talk about what lead her to taking on the challenge, and how she handled the physical and mental aspect of it all. We also touch on the aftermath of achieving such a life changing goal and her journey to becoming an entrepreneur through her new venture, The Natural Laundry Company.

How often do we find ourselves in the contrasting dilemma of having too much in our closets, and yet nothing to wear. On this episode I sit with Jane Taylor, a personal stylist who works at Wear That, which is a personalized subscription box service that customizes looks for your mood and occasion. She shared a bunch of styling tips, from how to dress for your shape to how to incorporate colour into your wardrobe.

On this episode I sat down with the incredibly talented Layal Takieddine, baker extraordinaire and the woman behind Gemini Bakes. Our conversation is jam-packed with so many amazing & actionable tips, foolproof recipes to try as well as how she went about building her personal brand online. Layal was gracious to also share what it was like for her to burn out and what she learnt from it.

Do you ever get that feeling when you walk into your home, or even towards your desk at the office and you feel overwhelmed by the a pile of clothes or papers or other keepsakes? You just don’t know where to begin, and with that also comes the guilt of letting things go.
On this episode I sit down with Shelina Jokhiya, a professional home organizer & decluttering expert who talks us through the process of effective decluttering–smart ways to get started, building the habit & creating long term organization systems. Shelina is also the host of the DeCluttr Me podcast, a sister show on the Amaeya Network.

Public speaking is tough enough, but then to have the added pressure of trying to make people laugh is no easy feat. And when you cross that ability with the background of a data-scientist who researches agriculture & climate change, you get a guest who packs a punch! Join our conversation this week with Arzoo Malhotra on everything from how she crafts a set to dealing with hecklers, and what it’s like being a third-culture-kid in Dubai.
