Welcome to “A Mystic in the City”. I’m your host Maria Amiouni, and in this podcast, we explore how to live a life of devotion amidst the rhythms of modern life.
Staying connected to spirit and the natural world in a busy city is not always easy but it is required more than ever.
Together, we’ll uncover how to infuse the sacred into the mundane, finding beauty and meaning in the ordinary moments that make up our days. Whether you're navigating work, relationships, or personal growth, this is a space where the Divine and the everyday meet.
I’m so grateful to have you with me on this journey.

Have you tried all kinds of diets but nothing seems to be working? Are you ready to say bye to the diet culture so you can be free in your own body?
In this very special episode, Rola opens up to us by sharing what it looks like to trust her own intuition, with food but also with her life decisions.
She shares the 5 stages of intuitive eating and how at first, intuitive eating is well, not intuitive.There’s always a transition phase when you’re moving away from diet culture into a more natural and cyclical way of eating.
So much has changed and transpired since Rola and I last recorded a podcast together last back in 2020. Having both moved to Dubai around the same time, we spend a lot of time discussing how important it is to listen to our own bodies, while at the same time taking into account the information we receive from the external world.
Rola is a US registered dietitian, a certified intuitive eating counselor and a yoga teacher with 11 years of experience. She founded the intuitive eating academy to spread this approach in the Middle East. She graduated over 100 dietitians and health experts who are now leading figures in the field. Rola helped over 1000 women reclaim the joy eating and reach genuine health without dieting.
