Welcome back to Season 2 of Latte.

In this episode, Sarah and Engy Alkahery explore something rarely discussed in entrepreneurship: the emotional experience of being a female business owner.

We live in a world that praises constant performance, productivity, and “masculine” energy.
But what if your emotions are not obstacles…
What if they are intelligence?

In this conversation, we discuss:

• Navigating performance while honoring your feminine energy

• Using emotional intelligence as a leadership advantage

• Understanding your emotional patterns as a founder

• Connecting with your body instead of disconnecting under pressure

• Managing team dynamics with emotional awareness

Leadership is not about suppressing emotion.
It’s about mastering it.

If you’ve ever felt like your emotions make business harder — this episode will shift your perspective.

Because emotional depth can be your greatest strategic strength.

In this second part, Sarah and her sister Angy — founder of NG Complexion — open up about the emotional and physical cost of overworking. Angy shares how constantly saying “yes,” pushing through exhaustion, and ignoring her feelings led to a major health scare — and how she’s learning to rest, set boundaries, and reconnect with herself.

Sarah talks about losing balance during her early business years and how expanding to the UAE taught her to rebuild life outside of work. Together, they discuss the link between emotions and the body, broken heart syndrome, and how grief can transform into strength when you allow yourself to feel.

Special mention: Lola, a Korean skincare brand Angy trusts for authentic, high-quality products she uses in her business.
