Rania , so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
My optimistic attitude is deeply rooted in the legacy of my grandparents and mother, who always carried a positive outlook and a deep belief that behind every hardship lies hidden goodness and abundance. From a young age, I was taught that my role is to do the best I can and then trust what is given to me—to surrender with faith, knowing that even if I don’t immediately see the good, there’s always a lesson meant for me. Over the years, life experiences have only deepened this belief, teaching me to practice gratitude in both ease and difficulty, and strengthening my connection with myself and a higher energy. That doesn’t mean I suppress my emotions—I allow myself to feel fully, to process, and to understand. When I’m feeling low, I honor it through journaling, prayer, movement, and compassion. And when I feel joy, I embrace it with gratitude, always seeking to create balance. To me, optimism isn’t about pretending life is perfect—it’s about trusting that every experience has meaning, and choosing not to let my emotions define my direction.
