In this inspiring episode of Roots in Narrative, Rida Alwan and Naba Al Madani sit down with award-winning couple Dr. Zainab and Dr. Ahmed. A powerhouse pair in dentistry and aesthetics to explore what it really means to build a life of purpose, partnership, and balance. From their journeys as British-Iraqis navigating identity and family expectations, to the realities of marriage, communication, and raising children while running a business — this conversation goes far beyond careers. Zainab opens up about the myth of “having it all,” the cost of doing everything, and the importance of stillness, self-awareness, and redefining what empowerment means for women today. Ahmed shares his personal battle with stammering, overcoming fear, and the courage to step out of comfort and into growth. ✨ A story about love, growth, legacy, and learning to pause. 🎙️ Roots in Narrative — real conversations, raw journeys, and reflections from the diaspora. #RootsInNarrative #IraqiPodcast #Identity #Marriage #Empowerment #Healing #MiddleEasternVoices
