🎙"Studies show that only 4% of people who set New Year’s Resolutions, keep them after 6 months, and the number drops even further after that!"

Why do New Year's Resolutions not work, and what can you do instead?

Hailed as one of 'THE' voices that brightens up Dubai's mornings, this week I'm is joined by none other than Virgin Radio Presenter and Co-Host of the Kris Fade Show, Priti Malik!

In this insightful episode, Priti shares with me her journey, the power of listening to your inner voice and overcoming Imposter Syndrome by acknowledging and taking ownership of your achievements.

Priti was born and raised in NYC and initially saw law as a career path. However, one morning back in high school, something tugged at her heart and she decided to pay a visit to the MTV studios to watch a taping of Total Request Live. While watching VJ Hilarie Burton do a few links she realized this was definitely more her vibe!

So she decided to go with Broadcast Journalism and never looked back! Priti has been working in radio and TV since she was 17. Whether it was a promotions intern for a radio station, working on stories for Diane Sawyer at ABC or running her own morning show at her college radio station, Priti always kept herself in the industry.

After graduating, she came across the Arabian Radio Network here in Dubai and decided to give it a shot. So in 2008, she moved to Dubai to work as a News Presenter for Virgin Radio.

Now, she’s the co-host on The Kris Fade Show!

In this conversation, Kristi shares her story of addressing big changes and challenges in her life, from transitioning her career to physically re-locating with her family through the uncertainties of Covid, and how the power of surrender played a significant role in guiding her path to the expression of her authentic self.

🎙"If you do not live your purpose and let others live it, then darkness will succeed, but we want the light to succeed in this world, right?"

In this week's deep episode, Kamil talks to Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach and Bestselling Author, Frida Bruhn.

Frida, one of the founding members of Jay Shetty Certification School, which opened its doors in March 2020, has been into acting and editing for more than 30 years.

She pretended to be confident from the outside but had lived many years of her life on autopilot, in constant fight and flight mode. Yet, by failing, doubting, trying, and getting up repeatedly, Frida could break vicious cycles and leave emotionally abusive relationships behind, the ones with herself- and the ones with work and her partner.

Frida recently wrote a chapter as a Co-Author alongside her Mentor Jim Britt and Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank about 'Perfectionism'. The book launch was a success and became #1 international bestseller on Amazon!

In this conversation, Frida and Kamil talk about 'Perfectionism' : what it is, how it impacts lives and powerful ways to address it.
