Tune in to our conversation with Joanna Nawfal, Founder of Sophia Maternity, Lebanon’s first dedicated pregnancy center, as we explore pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, and the importance of comprehensive care for mothers and babies.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience supporting families, Joanna shares practical guidance for expecting parents while addressing common misconceptions around breastfeeding and maternal health. Together, we discuss the importance of emotional wellbeing alongside physical health, the role of partners and families in providing meaningful support, the warning signs of postpartum depression and anxiety, and the essential care every mother should receive before leaving the hospital. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or supporting someone through this transition, this conversation offers valuable insight to help families navigate the journey of motherhood with confidence, knowledge, and compassion.
Tune in to our conversation with Zeina El Jourdi, Mental Health Nurse specializing in mental health support and violence prevention, as we explore burnout, emotional exhaustion, workplace mental health, and the hidden psychological impact of chronic stress.
Drawing on her clinical experience, Zeina discusses what burnout really is beyond everyday stress, why so many people silently struggle in demanding work environments, and how prolonged emotional pressure affects both the mind and body. Together, we explore the importance of recognizing mental health challenges early, breaking the culture of "pushing through," and creating healthier workplaces where people can care for others without losing themselves in the process.
