This Women's Day, I urge you to listen to this eye opening conversation with Dania Mikdad as she shares us her life story... Here's a gist of what's waiting for you in this episode.

Walk with Fate not with Fear

Over the past 25 years (my age) I learned so many lessons, but they all lead to one conclusion which is "Walk with Fate not with Fear"...

When I first met you (Mouna) on July 16th, 2020 I was going through depression, I almost thought that  opportunity with life had ended, and that everything just shut off. Just as I walked away from Fairmont Bab Al-Bahr I received a call that changed my life in the UAE, and one opportunity led to the other, and I now stand as a proud engineer working for the government of Abu Dhabi in humanitarian work, specifically for people of determination.

This is not the first time something like this happens. In my life, I had gone through literally any circumstance and stories that a girl would go through - anorexia, bullying, heartbreaks, sexual abuse, you name it and I will assure you that I had gone through it. But all of it was beaten with fate and time. I discovered that through my insecurities I created a power bank, an inspiration and a motivation. Nothing comes easy in life, but it is all definitely worth the ride.

"Your personality is unique. When you strive to walk in someone else’s shoes, you deprive the world of the real you. The best way to find a form of success that suits you is to be yourself and yourself only." said Martin Al Masri, our guest for Episode 12. 

Martin Al Masri is a young talented CEO of Infinity World Models, highly skilled and passionate entrepreneur behind the UAE's homegrown men's fashion brand, The Victor Closet, and the Editor-in-Chief of Victor Magazine.

Martin Al Masri affirmation is not to compare your life to others. This is what made him successful in a short time he managed to make his dream come true.  There’s no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it’s their time. You’re not in competition with anyone but yourself. Outdo your past, not other people.

The more you try to emulate people, the further you get from your nature
