THE GAL POD

In the Season 2 finale, Manelle and Merna reflect on the chaos, the lessons, and the in-between phase that comes right before real change. From growth pains and quiet guilt to laughing at how much they’ve actually evolved (or haven’t) this episode is about trusting the process without having all the answers. Season 2 closes… but something bigger is loading. Season 3 isn’t far. 

In this episode, Manelle and Merna sit down with Sarah Michaels, the mind behind Aunty Najwa and they go OFF stage. They unpack the story, the chaos, the courage, and the comedy behind the character, plus the real life of the woman underneath it all. From viral skits to vulnerable moments, this one is equal parts laughs and truth. 

This episode sits in the in-between; the season before the shift. Manelle and Merna unpack the guilt that comes with growth, the lonely transition phase where your old life doesn’t fit anymore, and the quiet discomfort of becoming someone new. It’s honest, reflective, funny in the way only growth can be, and a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to be moving forward.

In this episode, The GAL POD sits down with Coach Naila for a raw, grounded conversation on therapy, trauma, and what it really means to heal your inner self. Together, they break down generational patterns, emotional accountability, and how to finally step into a healthier version of you. Honest, grounding, and a little confronting,  this one stays with you.

Hawra Khalil joins The GAL POD for a glam-packed episode, from Miss Universe chaos to the truths of being a makeup artist today. Deposits, divas, burnout, passion… nothing is off the table. Real talk, big laughs, peak GAL POD.

In Episode 5, Manelle and Merna dive into the chaos of friendship finances (yes, they’re rounding up, don’t fight them), they call out modesty hypocrites, and unpack why the people with the least often give the most. It’s petty, it’s honest, it’s unfiltered: just the way Season 2 should be.

This week your GALS team up with Heidi Moustafa, the YouTube makeup queen who’s been creating since the early days of beauty tutorials. The trio chats about the rise of influencer culture, the burnout behind the scenes, how motherhood reshaped her identity, and the pressure to stay ‘on’ online. It’s real, raw, funny, and a proper catch-up with one of the internet’s big sisters.

This week, the girls are joined by Zainab from Zainab Home Designs, the DIY queen who turned home projects into a full-blown passion. They talk all things design, the WHY behind the DIY, the reality of motherhood meets social media, and the occasional punch-on over an IKEA flat pack. Get ready. 

In this episode, Manelle and Merna dive into the rules (and the drama) of girl code, loyalty, and navigating a world that feels a little too sensitive. They’re talking cancel culture, double standards, and keeping it real when everyone else is walking on thin ice. The GALPOD doesn’t hold back and neither should you.

The GAL POD is back for Season 2! Bigger, bolder, and a little bit unhinged. This episode kicks things off with what’s to come: new guests, deeper conversations, and a fresh era for Merna and Manelle as they reflect on how much they’ve grown (and survived) since Season 1.

Real, raw, and as relatable as ever, welcome back to the galpod.
