HIKMAT WEHBI PODCAST

Riaan was broke, on drugs, and sleeping on people's couches in Cape Town. Soleen was stuck in an interior design career she hated in Dubai. They met through an Instagram story, talked for seven months without meeting, and told each other "I think I'm going to marry you" before they'd ever been in the same room. In this episode — the airport no-show, the 100-dirham wedding rings, the first year they almost got divorced, and how a couple workout video filmed during COVID turned two people with nothing into one of the most-watched couples in the Middle East.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🎙️ Who are Riaan & Soleen?A South African-Iraqi couple based in Dubai who went viral during COVID with their couple workout videos. What started as a fun idea became a full-time career, a cross-cultural movement, and a love story that proves the right partner matters more than the right bank balance. With millions of followers across platforms, they've become one of the Middle East's most beloved creator couples — known for their raw honesty, cultural bridge-building, and the energy they bring to everything they do.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast #arabic_podcast #riaanandsoleen #couplesgoals #crosscultural #lovestory #dubai #iraq #southafrica #marriage #motivation #wstudiodxb

From a girl who covered her mouth every time she smiled to the woman teaching an entire generation how to stop apologizing for who they are — this is not the conversation you'd expect from a content creator with two million followers.In this episode of the Hikmat Wehbi Podcast, Waed Qasem doesn't just talk about self-love — she talks about what it actually costs to get there. The beauty standards that told her to lighten her skin, straighten her hair, and shrink her laugh. The close friend she lost to a toxic boyfriend who forced a choice between them. Walking into a university building, realizing it was the media department instead of law — and never looking back. Punishing herself as a child by placing a glass of ice water in front of her and refusing a sip until she'd earned it. Processing her own emotions by talking to herself out loud, every single day. People who live inside daydream bubbles because reality asks too much of them. And the one thing she still can't do — ask someone for help — and why she won't say yes to anyone until she figures that out.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━🎙️ Who is Waed Qasem?A Jordanian content creator, TV presenter, and one of the Arab world's most recognizable voices on self-development and women's empowerment. She studied journalism and media, and built a platform of over two million followers across Instagram and YouTube — all by speaking to young Arab women in the honest, no-sugarcoating "big sister" tone that nobody else was offering. Her content covers confidence, toxic relationships, boundaries, and what it actually takes to build a life on your own terms.#hikmatwehbipodcast#podcast#arabic_podcast#waedqasem#وعد_قاسم#حكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#wstudiodxb#selflove#toxicrelationships#confidence

Not about clinics or injections this time, but about the person behind them: the girl who left home at two, the woman who wore strength like armor because no one gave her the option to take it off, and the doctor who admits — on the record — that her only real support system is herself.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━👩‍⚕️ Who is Dr. Roula Al Shahadat?A dermatologist, aesthetic physician, and founder of the Charisma Medical Group.

Reema is the founder of Tigre Rosa, a luxury Italian-made high heel brand positioned at the intersection of craft, faith, and feminine empowerment. After leaving her father's firefighting company to pursue a passion she'd held since childhood, she spent two years traveling between Milan and Florence to develop handmade heels embedded with healing stones, each representing the body, mind, and spirit she believes a balanced woman must align. She pairs an obsessive commitment to craftsmanship and quality with a deeply spiritual worldview, championing the balance between masculine and feminine energy, self-love over ego, and substance over superficiality. Grounding her brand in meaning rather than marketing, she models the philosophy she sells: that real confidence comes from working on yourself, that intention shapes outcome, and that an Arab woman can build something world-class without ever forgetting her roots.Subscribe for more inspiring profiles and exclusive podcast episodes.#hikmatwehbipodcast #podcast#arabic_podcast #Reema_al_khatib#tigre_rosaريما_الخطيب#تيغري_روزا##wstudiodxbحكمت_وهبي#حكمت_وهبي_بودكاست#
