    <title>Main Character with Yasmine</title>
    <description>Yasmine? She&apos;s got the gift of gab, no doubt about it. And, well, someone had the brilliant idea of handing her a microphone… To our surprise, she&apos;s not just talk, she&apos;s got some serious - if at times questionable - hot takes. This Gen Z, Arab, Leo woman is here to share her thoughts on this wild world of ours. When she&apos;s had her fill of the limelight, she&apos;ll tag in one of her chaotic, unpredictable friends to shake things up. Brace yourself for some wild tales and off-the-wall guests as Yasmine guides you through your own journey, all while she&apos;s on the hunt for her own roadmap. Remember, we’re all the main characters in our own lives: what’s your story?</description>

      <title>Misogyny Doesn&apos;t Look Good On You</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Team, lots to discuss here today. We are going to talk about Trump and his new VP pick, me performing stand up in front of my MOTHER for the first time, and dissecting the misogyny we see in the world. I feel so often that as a woman, I have to be hyper-aware of everything I do so I don't take up too much space, say the wrong thing, or have to fit into this mold of what or how a "woman" should act. From my memories in college in a sorority to the casual belittling I see of women daily, we have a lot to unpack here. </p>

      <title>Rejection and Redirection</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week we will be talking about rejection and redirection. Rejection often feels like shoved in the chest and your stomach flips upside, or like a closed door shutting in your face. Yet, it's in these moments that redirection reveals its power. Rather than viewing rejection as a dead end, I'm trying to see it as a signpost guiding you onto a different path, perhaps one you hadn't considered before. As much as I'm saying that for you to hear, I really need to hear it.</p><p> </p><p>It's in times of rejection where we learn most about ourselves and I think that's quite resilient. </p>

      <title>I Will Always Be The Annoying Girl Who Studied Abroad In London</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>If there's one thing about me it's that I will always be the annoying girl who studied abroad. I just got back from the UK and we have a lot to discuss... like how I got food poising on my anniversary, or how I started to watch Naked Attraction with my friends, or how there is no one more sensitive than a straight white man. This episode is so unhinged. P.S. I hope you read this imaging me saying this in a British dialect. </p>

      <title>Going Back To Lebanon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a throwback episode. I filmed this while I was in the Podeo studios in Beirut and it feels surreal that I was even there. It was a few years since I had been back and this meant more to me than I had anticipated. On this episode, we talk about what home even means. Being apart of the Lebanese diaspora is the biggest part of my identity and my proudest part of my identity. They say home is where the heart is, but what if my heart is in multiple places? Does that still mean that it's my home? This episode is dedicated to Lebanon. </p>

      <title>My Relationship With My Body</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This one's a raw one, team. I wasn't planning on doing an episode like this until the next year, but here we are. Everyone's relationship with their own body is different. My relationship with my body is complex and I have been dealing with this issue for a long time. We're going to talk about the difference between body positivity vs. body neutrality, shame, self love, and so much more. I hope this episode makes you feel like you're not the only one going through this, that you're not alone. I'm right here with you. </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>No, you're not hearing or seeing double. This is my little sister, Katarina. She is...something else. One might argue my Mini-Me. We weren't always close, but due to the pandemic, we were trapped together. We spent every waking moment together and had to learn how to sort of live together while both being adults. We baked around 80 banana breads, got viral on TikTok twice, and created a special rule on how to alleviate fights between us. Despite being the older sister, I find myself in awe of Kat's resilience, wisdom, and unique perspective on life. Together, we unravel the tapestry of our shared childhood memories, share long-held secrets, and give our unfiltered hot takes. This episodes dedicated to all siblings or chosen family. I love you Katarina and Jibran.</p>

      <title>I Moved To New York</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I? Moved? To? New? York? City? Bitch! One way ticket and a dream. One could argue, broad city. I'm literally just a girl who would die for her main character arc. This has been years in the making. I have always wanted to move to NY but have always been afraid to do so. My time in LA got...comfortable. I think comfortability is great, but at some point, you just stay stagnant. I felt like I was at a plateau in my life. We're going to talk about how I wrote a Terms & Conditions list on my plane ride here and signed it. How I'm reaching out to people to go on friend dates, and how I'm learning to find joy in all this solitude in this big city. For the first time in a really long time, I feel proud of myself for doing this. </p>

      <title>My Thoughts On Cosmetic Surgery</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Since moving to LA, I have realized that almost everyone I know have gotten some kind of cosmetic procedure or aesthetic enhancement done. Myself included. And to be clear, I am in full support of any body modification, but I do find it curious for many reasons. I can't help but ask myself, have we as a society (I hated typing out that sentence) normalized changing key aspects about ourselves to make ourself "feel more confident?". I remember when I got my breast reduction, I knew I needed to get it done for medical purposes, but I was more focused in on the physical appearance of how my boobs would sit afterwards. I constantly compare myself to other people...especially when I'm doom scrolling on TikTok. I pose the question: Is surgery enough to fully view ourselves in the light we deserve? Is cosmetic surgery just a band aid of how we truly view ourselves? If celebs get work done, do they owe us that explanation? Is enhancing our face, tummy, back, butt, arms, teeth, etc. healing us? I have no clue. This is such a complex topic. So many questions, so few answers. </p>

      <title>The Chokehold of a Trend</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The absolute chokehold that trends have on society is mind blowing to me...and sometimes without us even realizing it. Whether it be ballet flats, latest TikTok sounds, audio erotica, the color red, and so on and so forth, these movements have become such a backbone in our culture. I always pride myself on staying on top of most trends that are going on, but as I start to hyper-analyze myself, I began to wonder why I care so much? Why do I base so much of my self worth on what keeps me relevant? I looked at the psychology behind why we, as young people, are so hooked on staying up to date on trends and what's going on in fashion and society. I feel like we are so hooked on trying to be the coolest and trendiest version of ourselves, when we should just focus on simply being ourselves. What trend has you on a chokehold?</p>

      <title>A Very MID 20s/ Rules At My Funeral</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Since a kid, I've been fascinated with the idea that our 20s HAVE to be the best years of our lives. From my parents telling me to "enjoy the time while you can" or society painting this picture-perfect notion that this is our prime, I can't help but be bitter about it all. If my mid 20's are the best years of my life, then that scares the living shit out of me. Your mid 20's is an uphill battle. The Trenches. A beautiful storm. The constant pressure of fitting into this mold that the world has created for us is making me really frustrated. Maybe it's just me. But in the case that it's not, you're not alone. Oh, and then when I was drunk one night in Lebanon this summer I wrote on my notes app a list of rules at my funeral?? Don't get too excited though, I'm living till I'm 100. </p>

      <itunes:title>A Very MID 20s/ Rules At My Funeral</itunes:title>

      <itunes:duration>00:22:34</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>Since a kid, I&apos;ve been fascinated with the idea that our 20s HAVE to be the best years of our lives. From my parents telling me to &quot;enjoy the time while you can&quot; or society painting this picture-perfect notion that this is our prime, I can&apos;t help but be bitter about it all. If my mid 20&apos;s are the best years of my life, then that scares the living shit out of me. Your mid 20&apos;s is an uphill battle. The Trenches. A beautiful storm. The constant pressure of fitting into this mold that the world has created for us is making me really frustrated. Maybe it&apos;s just me. But in the case that it&apos;s not, you&apos;re not alone. Oh, and then when I was drunk one night in Lebanon this summer I wrote on my notes app a list of rules at my funeral?? Don&apos;t get too excited though, I&apos;m living till I&apos;m 100. </itunes:summary>
