You have a great job doing something you're passionate about. It pays great. You live in a bustling city with an active social life. You're also overworked, burnt out, and something about your life just doesn't feel right. What do you do next? In this episode, Marilyn and Rhea invite friend of the pod and sports consultant Elise Kossaifi to share stories of experiencing existential crises and changing career paths.

People of all ages – including Marilyn, Rhea, and Marilyn's daughter Gabi – know what it's like to wake up cranky and moody from a bad night's sleep. For parents and caregivers, that issue is compounded by having children who are challenging sleepers. While some might choose to let their children establish their own sleeping habits, others might choose sleep training or working with a trainer who can help everyone involved have a better night's sleep. In this episode, Marilyn and Rhea sit down with infant and child sleep consultant Lamis Benjelloun to understand what exactly is child sleep training, what it can (realistically) do for both parent/caregiver and child, and how to establish better sleeping habits for children. They also discuss “sleep shaming” in the parenting community and how there can never be a golden standard for child sleep.WRTW is off next week for Eid Al Fitr (Eid Mubarak everyone!), but we'll be back the following week with an all new episode! You won't even know we were gone. Lamis Benjelloun is an Abu Dhabi-based Moroccan certified infant and child sleep consultant as well as a certified newborn sleep specialist.  She considers herself a sleep nerd because if she's not talking about sleep, she's reading about it.  Her love for sleep particularly intensified after the birth of her first son, Maher.  He showed her what true sleep deprivation looked like, inspiring her to solve the puzzle of child sleep for herself and other families. She founded One2Sleep in 2019 and has since been fortunate to meet many families and accompany them on their journey to better sleep.Things My Mother Didn't Tell Me (But My Best Friend Did) is a spinoff of Who Run the World, a production of Reyzin Media.

Ramadan Kareem, WRTW fam! To celebrate the holy month, Marilyn and Rhea invite WRTW's producer and resident Muslim Ahmed Ashour to reflect on what Ramadan means, share memories, and exchange favorite traditions. Then, Marilyn and Rhea compete for the title of “The Queen of Ramadan” by solving fawazeer/riddles, guessing at the plots of Ramadan shows, and putting together the perfect iftar. Of course, no Ramadan is complete without Sherihan, and you bet she makes an appearance here.

Ever tried picking out a book for a child to read? Marilyn and Rhea can confirm: it's not easy, nor is it easy to get the child to actually read the book and enjoy it. In this episode, Marilyn and Rhea sit down with the founder of Oh The Books Deema Al Alami to understand how we can get children to love reading outside the classroom. They share tips for picking out new books and rotating the books on your child's bookshelf, as well as recommend bookstores for caregivers to check out in Dubai. Finally, Deema talks about her new book, “48 Stories of Exile from Palestine,” and how children can fall in love with Palestine and its culture through reading. Deema Al Alami is a Dubai-based educator and author. Her career started over 15 years ago as a teacher, before shifting her focus to working on education-focused capacity building programs in both the private and public sector across the region. She's the co-founder of Al Alami Book Club and the founder of Oh the Books, an Instagram account where she recommends the best children's books and offers caregivers the best literacy tips and tricks to nurture lifelong readers. She also launched “From Mother to Author,” a coaching program empowering parents and caregivers to author their own children's books that celebrate Arab culture and values. Deema is a renowned author, having co-written the children's book “Min Balad Esmo Falastin” (“From A Country Called Palestine”) and the new book, “48 Stories of Exile from Palestine,” out later this year.Deema's recommendations for Dubai bookstores:The Old LibraryKinokuniyaMagrudyBookwormBook Hero Deema's author recommendations:Mo WillemsJulia DonaldsonRod CampbellHervé TulletYou can follow Deema and her work on Instagram:Deema's Account (@deema_al_alami)Oh The Books (@oh.thebooks)From Mother to Author (@mother_to_author)Who Run the World is a production of Reyzin Media.

Ramadan Kareem, WRTW family! To kick off a month of reflection and introspection, Marilyn and Rhea have a very real and honest conversation about how they've seen their friendship change after Marilyn became a mother. What are their pet peeves when it comes to friends treating each other differently post-motherhood? What advice would they give themselves and their friends as they enter new stages in their lives? And, of course, what about Marilyn and Rhea's friendship has allowed it to grow and change as they grow and change?Things My Mother Didn't Tell Me (But My Best Friend Did) is a spinoff of Who Run the World, a production of Reyzin Media.

Lots happening this week in WRTW Land (which is about 25.6km away from Barbie Land). March is Women's History Month. March 8th is International Women's Day. Marilyn and Rhea both finally watched Barbie (yes, THAT Barbie, which is up for some Oscars later this week). They also just finished watching season 2 of the hit Netflix show AlRawabi School for Girls. They have so many thoughts on all of the above (especially Rhea)...but can they share them all in one episode? Well folks, they do it, because they are what? Women. International women. In this episode of Who Run the Time, Marilyn and Rhea put on their “scathing critic” hats and break down the nonsense, western origins of International Women's Day. They then look at how Barbie and AlRawabi fit this year's IWD theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” and share examples of comedians, journalists, and authors who they feel do a good job of telling authentic stories representing women today. Live from Casa Home de Ken (sic), it's WRTW's International Women's Day episode!Marilyn's recommendations:“An Unlasting Home” by Mai Al-Nakib.“Celestial Bodies” by Jokha Alharthi.“Against a Loveless World” by Susan Abulhawa.“The Day Nina Simone Stopped Singing” by Darina Al Joundi.Rhea's recommendations:Lebanese comedian Shaden.Jordanian journalist Sara Obeidat.

In an October 2023 episode with OB/GYN and fertility specialist Dr. Gaël Abou Ghannam, Marilyn and Dr. Gaël encouraged Rhea to freeze her eggs. Well, listeners…drum roll, please…she did it! Not only did she do it – she's also ready to tell you all about it. In this episode, Marilyn sits down with Rhea to understand what led to her making this decision, as well as break down the egg freezing process from A to Z. Of course, our best friends share (often funny) stories and anecdotes from the journey, including one that involves a butt injection. Curious? You'll have to listen to find out more.

Choosing to pursue a career as an actor and media personality is hard. Choosing to pursue such a career as someone of South Asian or SWANA descent is hard. Becoming a mother is…you guessed it, also hard. Doing all three? That's just awe-inspiring. In this episode, Marilyn and Rhea sit down with Dubai-based Pakistani actor and media personality Rabab Hashim. Rabab shares how she fell in love with the stage and screen at a young age, her experience navigating motherhood in the entertainment industry, and how her partner and community have supported her in this chapter of her life. Rabab also reflects on Pakistani/global south representation in the media, and what her next career moves are. Rabab Hashim is a Dubai-based Pakistani actor and media personality who has appeared on stage, television, web series, and many other media formats.

On Valentine's Day 2019, a little show by the name Who Run the World was released into the world. 5 years later, that little show is thriving! Who would've thought? Marilyn and Rhea certainly did. In this 5th anniversary special, Marilyn and Rhea look back at the show and its (humble) beginnings, before sharing their favorite episodes. But what about Valentine's Day? No worries, our girls got you. In classic WRTW fashion, our best friends completely dismantle the capitalist celebration that is Valentine's Day, then naturally indulge in a conversation about their romantic types, ideal dates, and thoughts on love.

In the wake of the International Court of Justice's ruling on January 26th, 2024 stating that Israel must do all it can to prevent genocide, Marilyn and Rhea sit down with the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch Omar Shakir to understand the dimensions of South Africa's landmark case. What are the provisional measures that the world's highest court ruled on? What does the ruling mean for the international community grappling with the efficacy of international law, especially given the senseless violence we are still witnessing? And, most importantly, what does the ruling mean for Palestinians?Omar Shakir is the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, where he investigates human rights abuses in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. He has authored several major reports, including a 2021 report comprehensively documenting how Israeli authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution against millions of Palestinians. He's also investigated other human rights violations both regionally and globally.Who Run the World is a production of Reyzin Media. Hosted by Rhea Chedid and Marilyn Zakhour.

WRTW is back! As the show approaches its fifth birthday (stay tuned), Marilyn and Rhea sit down to reflect on the year that was and the year to come. How did they do when it came to their 2023 words of the year? What words did they select for 2024? And how can you, our dear listener, choose your own word of the year instead of new year's resolutions?

What are the holidays if not the most magical time of the year? After a few months that lacked magic (to say the least), Rhea and Marilyn take the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9-3/4 towards Hogwarts (duh) for a bit of Christmas (and other non-secular holiday) cheer. Along for the scenic trip is their producer Ahmed Ashour, a notable HP-films-over-books advocate and sworn enemy of the dark witch named J.K. Rowling. Together, they share their favorite HP memories, discuss the 4 houses, and hand out free (yes, free!) tips for dealing with family members from different houses over the holidays (especially that one Slytherin uncle). 5 points to you, the listener, for sticking around as we wrap up 2023!

Marilyn and her husband Hadi recently decided to buy a new car, a decision that turned out to be an 8-month ordeal. Making big financial decisions as a couple can be quite daunting, but that doesn't mean that spending your money individually is a walk in the park. In this episode, Rhea and Marilyn invite Marilyn's financial advisor Sharon Calderini to share tips with listeners for better financial planning in 2024. What are the pillars of wealth you should consider? Why should you be saving for the long term? And what are Rhea and Marilyn's new year's resolutions when it comes to their finances? Finally, after a bit of a hiatus, Marilyn and Rhea bring back the recurring segment “Two Kinds of People” to debate the value of spending on yourself. Got any financial new year's resolutions?

As the Israeli occupation's brutal operation in Palestine enters its third month, Rhea and Marilyn take a moment to take stock of how they and the people around them have processed recent events. In what ways have we felt helpless, hopeful, and activated? Rhea and Marilyn then go on to highlight concrete ways in which we can make our actions for Palestine count as individuals, communities, and organizations.Got any tips or strategies for taking action and making your contribution towards Palestine count?

What do we know about the history of Zionism, colonialism, and occupation in Palestine? More importantly, what do we not know? To mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Marilyn and Rhea invite Palestinian-American professor, lawyer, and writer Tamara Reem to provide listeners with an overview of significant events in Palestinian history and how they inform our understanding of the past few weeks. Tamara also uses her expertise in international law to answer two very divisive yet important questions:Can Israel claim its response to the October 7th attacks as “self-defense?”Should Israel's destructive response be qualified as a genocide?Tamara Reem is a Palestinian-American international lawyer, professor, and writer.

In this episode, we look at the means through which most of us learn about what's happening on the ground in Palestine: the media. With the help of award-winning Jordanian journalist and producer Sara Obeidat, Rhea and Marilyn question how the media (specifically western legacy media) has approached covering Palestine, both prior to October 7th and afterwards. Why has Palestine often been dismissed in the news cycle, and what shifted on October 7th? In the age of disinformation and propaganda, how can we vet our news sources? What should we expect/demand of global media outlets, and why is it important to nurture local and regional journalism? This episode is dedicated to the memory of all the journalists who've lost their lives reporting on the events of the past few weeks, as well as the brave voices - like Moataz, like Plestia, like Bisan - who are allowing us to bear witness to the atrocities of the past few weeks.Sara Obeidat is an award-winning Jordanian journalist and producer. She most recently co-produced the second season of “I'm Not a Monster: The Shamima Begum Story.” The investigative series received rave reviews, topping international podcast charts and winning multiple best-of awards for its journalistic excellence. Who Run the World is a production of Reyzin Media.

In 2023, Rhea and Marilyn experienced loss in more ways than one. They both lost their dear friend Dounya, and Marilyn lost her beloved father-in-law Noor. On top of all that, recent events in Palestine have been weighing heavy on their minds and hearts. How can they process all of this personal and collective loss of life? How can they grieve? Siira's Sandra Salame joins WRTW this week to discuss grief, its stages, and why grieving and accepting loss can never be selfish acts. Instead of this week's “2 Kinds of People” segment, Rhea, Marilyn, and Sandra share how they've been processing the collective grief over recent events in Palestine. This episode is dedicated to the loving memory of Dounya Zin, Noor Kabalan, and the many lives lost over the past few weeks. How have you managed your own grief over a personal or collective loss?

In October 2020 (deep pandemic era WRTW), we released an episode titled “Let's Talk About Our Periods” with Dr. Gaël Abou Ghannam that broached all sorts of taboo topics for Arab women, like taking the birth control pill and experiencing period pain. 3 years later, we're back for round 2. Returning guest (and friend of the pod) Dr. Gaël helps Rhea and Marilyn understand the world of (in)fertility: the science, the myths, the social implications, and everything in between. As they exchange personal experiences and advice, they ask: how can we reduce shame around (in)fertility talk? Finally, in a more personal “2 Kinds of People,” Marilyn and Dr. Gaël tackle Rhea's doubts and hesitation about freezing her eggs. Will she do it?

Back by popular demand, this episode is all about Rhea's dating life and how to survive the online world of dating. Whether it be Bumble, Hinge, Tinder, The League or any dating app, online dating can really be a slog. Do you talk to one person or to a whole bunch of people at the same time?

Happy 2023 everyone! In our first episode of the year, Rhea and Marilyn share with each other what their word of the year is. We breakdown our thoughts about new year resolutions and intention setting. As always, we are two kinds of people with two different approaches to goal setting and measuring (one of us loves excel sheets while the other one gets great anxiety from excel sheets).

Ever since Marilyn became a mom, she's noticed an infuriating pattern: her friends started leaving her out of things. She decided to bring up her frustrations on the microphone which led to a conversation about how single and married friends with kids could bridge the gap and not lose their friendship just because they are at different stages of their lives. Marilyn explains what single friends can do to be there for their mommy friends, while also making it clear that just because she now has a family does not mean her friends are any less important to her. On the flip side, Rhea talks about what it's like from a single person's perspective and how sometimes our insecurities can get the best of us. We believe that sharing our stories will help people feel less alone, and we'd love to hear yours! Are you a parent who has felt their friends change towards them since they had children? Are you the single one in your group and find that you always have to accomodate for your parent friends?

In honor of our 100th episode, we decided to celebrate what got us here in the first place: our friendship. We discuss the different facets of female friends with the help of women of all ages from around the world. Our female friendships have been incredibly important to us in our lives. Not only have they shown up for us in times of trouble, but they have also chosen us to be with them in joyful times, have come with us to run errands and supported us in our growth. We dedicate this episode to our childhood friends, college friends, work friends, friends we met through other friends, friends who are no longer our friends, our moms and our sisters. A special thank you to all the women who agreed to share their stories with us.

In this episode, Rhea opens up about her struggles with body image. Rhea shares how the negative feelings she's had about her body made her feel like she is living a half life.

We are back in Dubai and kicking things off with Marilyn telling us all about her birth story: how contractions felt, how she got through the pain, the role of her support system, including her husband Hadi, her doula Valerie, her mom and her brother. Marilyn also updates on the cliffhanger from last episode: did she or did she not get an epidural? Finally, Marilyn shares what happened after her daughter was born and how she and her team (which now included baby Gabrielle) got through it all. This episode is dedicated to Gabrielle Nour Kabalan, born on June 25th at 8:24PM.We believe that sharing our stories will help people feel less alone, and we'd love to hear your birth stories!

Marilyn is inching closer to her due date, and that means she has a few key decisions to make around her labor. Epidural or no epidural? Constant monitoring of the baby's heartbeat or sporadic monitoring? Where to give birth and which care provider to have? Vaginal or cesarean? Do you want to induce the birth or not? Which interventions will you allow? Do you want Pitocin to help you birth your placenta? Do you want to play Beyonce in the deliver room? Marilyn takes us through her thought process in making these decisions, showing that you can only go through pregnancy as yourself. Are you pregnant? Are you preparing for your labor? How are you making your decisions? Did you already give birth?

This episode is all about the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy as Marilyn shares everything she has experienced in the last 6 months. She tells Rhea about all the ways her body has changed, and how her little girl has been sucking the energy out of her (we love you Gaby!). She also talks about the importance of her tribe, friends and family showing up for her, and how that has made her feel more ready to take on labor and motherhood. Finally she talks about how equipping herself with the right information and data has helped be more prepared for the unknown.  Have you been pregnant before?

Something that many Arab women have faced in their lifetime is single shaming. In this episode we dive deep into single shaming: how it shows up, how to respond to single shaming and Marilyn even hits us with some stats (since the pandemic single shaming has been on the rise). We even try to understand how single people and people and relationships can broach the topic of dating and relationships. This resulted with our first ever on microphone argument. We'd love to hear from you! Have you been single shamed? How do you talk about dating with your single or non single friends?

We spent all last week immersed in the latest gossip taking over the ton. In other words, we binge watched season 2 of Bridgerton, and we have a lot of things to say about it. We rank our favorite subplots, play a good old game of kill, fuck or marry, while comparing and contrasting the actors' butts and debate on what we really think of Anthony Bridgerton and Miss Kate Sharma's love story. We'd love to hear from you!

Marilyn has been going through a little witch obsession, and she got Rhea to watch her latest TV binge that has witches at the center of it all: Wheel of Time. On this episode, we discuss what we liked and disliked about this Amazon Prime Video original: from the acting to the plot to the fun names of the characters. Marilyn finishes off this episode by sharing which witch TV shows to watch and which ones to avoid (stay away from Netflix's the Witcher people). Have you seen Wheel of Time?

Marilyn candidly shares about the feelings of power pregnancy has given her, but also how she is navigating becoming a mother while running her company.

After months of being apart, Rhea spent one month staying at Marilyn's in Dubai. In this case, absence did not make the heart grow fonder, but it did make the brain notice weird quirks in your best friend. So in this edition of Who Run the Time, Rhea and Marilyn point out each other's quirks and oddities. The two finally talk about each other's weird eating habits, Marilyn's hyper focus abilities, Rhea's underwear and how much they crack themselves up. What are some of the quirks you've noticed in your best friend?

Over the break, We both binged watched Netflix's Emily in Paris, and we have a lot of things to say about. In this episode we discuss plot twists of season 2, what we think of Emily's fashion and take a look at how the show adequately describes the French Labor Law. We also break down the two love triangles at the center of the show, and stake our claims on who we would date (Marilyn is team Gabriel and Rhea is team Alfie).. We also try to make sense why the French people talk to each other in English, even when Emily is not in the room. Have you seen Emily in Paris? Do you have any recommendations on what we should watch next?

On this episode we welcome for the second time on the podcast Tala Odeh, who just like Marilyn, is expecting a little girl later this year. We talk about the different (and ridiculous) old wives tales about pregnancy. After doing some research on the internet, we found that the majority of old wives are around guessing the gender of the baby, and a whole lot of old wives tales are extremely sexist. We spend the episode debunking the old wives tales (Marilyn had a great time using Google as her weapon) and even inventing our own old wives tales.If we missed any old wives tales, don't hesitate to send them to us on our email sayhi@whoruntheworldpodcast.com or on our instagram @whoruntheworldpod. Finally and as always, if you have a few bucks to spare, we'd love it if you would consider donating to one of the Lebanese charities below.

Last month Netflix's Arabic movie Perfect Strangers quickly became the number 1 streamed movie across the Middle East. So just like everyone else, we recently watched the Arabic adaptation. The movie is set in Lebanon, and the plot revolves around a group of friends who decide to read every message they receive on their phones over the course of a dinner. Suffice it to say: chaos ensues. In this episode of Who Run the Time, we discuss the different plot points, and whether we would take part in a similar game with our friends and partners (oh hell no). We also take a look at the significance of this movie in regards to the Arab content landscape (we celebrate more genre films) as well as take a deeper look into the backlash the film faced (team Mona Zaki over here).Did you watch Perfect Strangers? What did you think of the plot? What about the backlash the movie faced in Egypt and elsewhere? We'd love to hear from you!

After two years of successfully avoiding the CoronaVirus, it got Rhea on December 31st 2021. While visiting Marilyn in Dubai, Rhea tested positive for COVID19. Rhea spent eleven days stuck in Marilyn's spare bedroom, where all her deepest insecurities were flared up. The quarantine period came with enlightenments and a persistent cough. In this episode, we look back at those eleven days, breaking down the different lessons Rhea picked up including how to accept help, distinguishing what is a trait vs what is state, and learning the ultimate lesson: being a burden to your friends is actually a treasure.   Were you affected by Omicron recently? How was your quarantine period? How do you deal with your insecurities? Is it difficult for you to accept help from friends? We would love to hear from you! Write to us on sayhi@whorunthepodcast.com or follow us on @whoruntheworldpod We were lucky enough to go through quarantine in the comfort of our own home. A lot of people are not so lucky. We are both from Lebanon, which is going through a crippling economic crisis. People do not have access to 24h electricity and the price of food is through the roof. We'd love it if you could find it in your hearts to donate to one of these organizations doing amazing work in Lebanon. Even 5$ would go a long way. Lebanese Red CrossBeit el BarakaOffre Joie.

On our very first episode of 2022, we have a very special announcement. We have a new co-host who has been stealthily present and growing for the last couple of episodes: Marilyn is pregnant! In this episode, Marilyn shares how she and Hadi found out, she talks about the stresses of the first trimester, as well as how she copes with everyone suddenly having an opinion on her body.  Marilyn also talks through the different feelings she had in the last few months, especially finding out she was expecting after more than a year of trying.
