In today's episode, I have an amazing conversation with Kieran McMahon PT, who takes a trip down memory lane of his first time arriving in Abu Dhabi, to deciding to leave teaching and build his own business. I am sure you will take a lot of value from this podcast as Kieran shares so much wisdom on building better habits, feeling the fear and doing it anyway, and also being able to put ourselves as our own priority. I hope you take as miuch value from this podcast as I did. One not to be missed!

This week I'm joined by the wonderful Gemma Gallagher, who hails from Belfast and is an expat in Abu Dhabi. Gemma and I know each other for many years and it was a no-brainer to ask her to be my first official guest on the podcast. This episode truly shows what an inspiring young woman Gemma is. She shares valuable tips for expats, some tough times she went through and how she has been able to adapt to the challenges faced this year by continuing to build her successful business, Design & Dine. Its a long one, but worth every minute to listen to. Enjoy!
