About Realist vs Optimist, The Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hey! We're Mairah and Aqilah and we're two completely opposite women (Aqilah is a self-confessed optimist and wouldn't live her life any other way, while Mairah is a practical realist). Together, we own two (and a half) businesses together and we hope to inspire more women to take that first step, bust their fears and work towards their goals and dreams in life.
