  • S01E12 - The Power Of Listening To Your Soul - Sally Mousa

    ⁣⁣Sally is an international presenter and moderator who has interviewed many of the world’s most influential change-makers across every field.

    From Nobel Laureates Orhan Pamuk and Kailash Satyarthi to Oscar-nominated film director Nadine Labaki, entertainer Steve Harvey, Olympic-medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad to Youtube star Lilly Singh and Dr Jane Goodall amongst many others, Sally has a gift for telling the stories of those who have made a global impact, revealing deeper insights that others miss.
    A born creative whose cultural journey embraces both East and West as an Arab-Australian, Sally is passionate about powerful stories that break barriers, explore diverse narratives, and are part of wider conversations driving change worldwide.
    Now in the Middle East for over a decade, Sally has been a presenter and host on some of the region’s top platforms where she presents stories that speak to and inspire a global audience.
    Our talk's details:
    • In the quest to become bigger, better, faster, stronger, higher, we can forget that at the end of it all, it all actually always comes back to us. Why are we doing what we do and are we truly fulfilled by the choices we make every day, whether it’s in the relationships we’re in, the job we take up, what we study, how we interact with others, and so much more….
    • Listening to your soul is all about blocking out the noise from the outside world and learning to understand who YOU are and what makes you truly happy at your soul level. It’s very much about cultivating an inner voice and understanding that if you ignore it, it always catches up with you, one way or another.
    • Why this is vital for good mental health, how it helps us to understand ourselves better, how it helps us to confront hard feelings, how it shapes the decisions that we make every day, how it can help us find our purpose.
