Honored to be a guest on Houda Majlis’ podcast, The Founder Seat. It was a great experience sharing my journey , the challenges, the lessons, and the growth behind the scenes. Being interviewed by my sister made it even more special. A real and honest conversation that I truly believe will inspire others to take the step and start their own business. So proud of her.

From the time they got in touch with me for the podcast it was truly a pleasure working with such a dynamic team. And I do treasure my time so for a busy professional they made the experience organized, flexible and truly enjoyable. Houda was a true gem and I’m honored to have shared this space with her. The podcast itself was very organized, very professional and they made me feel very comfortable. Again the fact it was so seamless shows how organized they are behind the scenes. Looking forward to working with this amazing team again in the future.
سعدت جدًا بكوني ضيفة في مجلس هدى البودكاست المميز. كان الحوار منظمًا وعميقًا، وأظهرت السيدة هدى احترافية واضحة في إدارة النقاش وطرح الأسئلة الهادفة. شعرت براحة كبيرة أثناء الحديث معها، حيث خلقت أجواءً مريحة جعلت الحوار طبيعيًا وسلسًا، وشعرت بأنني أتحدث بكل عفوية كما أتاح لي الحوار فرصة مشاركة أفكار وتجارب مهمة كانت تجربة ثرية أعتز بها. أوصي بشدة بالاستماع إليه ولكل من يرغب في الظهور كضيف.
Being featured on Houda's Majlis — Season 1: Founder's Seat, hosted by Houda Abdulrahman, was a moment I will always cherish. Sharing the journey of Vaniglia Dolci aloud allowed me to pause and reflect on how a simple passion grew into something far greater than I once imagined. It was an emotional reminder of the courage it takes to begin, the resilience required to continue, and the purpose that makes it all worthwhile.
An incredibly professional and seamless experience from start to finish. From the first contact to the day of filming, everything was well organized, timely, and thoughtfully managed. Houda is a fantastic host , well prepared, attentive to detail, and deeply engaged in the topic. Her questions were focused and meaningful, making the conversation flow effortlessly. Truly a pleasure to be part of this podcast. Ana Akfi with Rana
I really enjoyed being on this podcast with Houda. The environment was warm and comfortable — it honestly felt like sitting at the kitchen table talking with a friend. The conversation flowed naturally, and it made the whole experience both easy and enjoyable.

Dear Listener,
There are things I can't say into a microphone. Thoughts that need the quiet of a written page to truly settle.
Every month, I write a letter to this community. It is not a notification. It is a correspondence, a collection of unspokens, journal prompts, and quiet reflections to carry you through the noise of the week.
