KHALIL DIAB
About this episode

Dr. Marie Nakhoul reflects on growing up in Lebanon, the emotional complexities of migration, and how her work as an OBGYN in the U.S. deepens her understanding of grief, memory, and identity. A powerful conversation on belonging, nostalgia, and writing as a way to return home.

 

From the smells of her childhood village to the silence of clinical spaces, this conversation weaves together stories of home, healing, and hope. Whether you're part of a diaspora or simply navigating your own journey of identity and place, this episode will resonate deeply.
