About this episode

Shame breeds shame…but not any longer, so let’s talk about it! Womena is proud to bring you ‘Talk of Shame’ our first podcast with bestselling author and presenter Alya Mooro Unfiltered. Bold. Authentic. Zero F*cks Given.

We should be how we want to be, not how shame tells us we should be. Every Tuesday from 4th May, Alya will unpick shame in conversation with women from across the MENA region and it’s diaspora. They discuss how shame impacts our lives, and the burdens of carrying family honor, the weight of society’s expectations and everything in between.

This is a sisterhood, and you’re invited to bask in more self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity.SUBSCRIBE. LISTEN. UNLEARN.
