Farah has been a loving music figure in Kuwait for years, setting standards and breaking barriers in what was perceived as a male dominated scene. As DJ Bonita she has also started an online records shop - Vinyl Destination, to a great community response.

Farah wanted to make a different use of her classical music training, and to make a serious impact on the community. This led her to a music therapist training, and consequently, work as a music therapist in palliative care at Bayt Abdullah Children's Hospice.

In this episode, we have discussed the experiences in providing services of music therapy across the hospitals in Kuwait, relations to patients and their families. We have also debated on whether our societies are ready to accept that music is sometimes an inevitable part of patient care, and how much joy and comfort it can bring to a patient.

What are the ways she rests and grows and how does she cope with the emotionally taxing but also rewarding nature of her demanding job?
