For the ninth episode of Uncertaintea the Podcast, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Saliha Afridi, PsyD (US) - Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lighthouse Arabia in Dubai, UAE.

Dr. Saliha is a Dubai based Clinical Psychologist who speaks on her personal relationship with uncertainty, living in alignment with her morals, and becoming in touch with our whole self. She spoke to me about taking risks that resonate with ourselves, working with purpose, and having the courage to do the work that leads towards getting to know our true self. She speaks on the power of investing time into getting to know yourself.

Please feel free to follow Dr. Saliha on her Instagram at @drsalihaafridi for her reflections, insights, and tools focused on doing the work on the self.

For the eighth episode of Uncertaintea the podcast, I speak with my friend Sung June Choi, a Brooklyn based photographer and videographer. Choi and I have been through the thick and thin of growing pains (together and apart) in the time we’ve known each other. And for this episode, we explore how uncertainty has defined our journeys, the food we made, the pictures we captured, and the joy we found.

The seventh episode of Uncertaintea explores the relationship we have the ability to cultivate through intentional movement in the post-pandemic world. I speak with the luminous Kaajel Patel - who is a London based artist, dance choreographer, set designer and so much more. We speak of how uncertainty makes itself known and how the power of ritual, ancestry, and our heritage can help us move more mindfully and joyfully.
