THRIVE with Amena

My husband, Osaama, joins me in the final episode of Season 1 to answer your questions on marriage - the good, the bad and the ugly. We discuss what we've learnt through our 14 years together and how we've resolved differences (or not). Osaama's background is in interior design - he cofounded our business Pearl Daisy in 2010 and has since been working with me in our businesses on social media. We have 2 children together (aged 9 and almost 11) and a cheeky cat called Mickey.

I chat with my sister Mai about her journey to feeling empowered as a single woman when faced with societal pressures to get married. We talk about creating a story with our lives and how there is much more to women than our marital status or various roles within the family unit.

In this introductory episode, I lay down the foundation of what personal thriving means to me and why I believe we all have an inner desire to grow and thrive.
