Sabah el kheir! We’re finally back with a new episode, and I’m laying it all on you — I’m officially leaving Dubai. After 2 years here, this chapter is coming to a close. So much has happened… I left my job, and now I’m starting to pack up my little bubble, the apartment I made feel like home.In this episode, I get into everything — work life and how I discovered my love for music and interviewing. I’ve met so many inspiring people through this journey, and the one thing they all had in common? They followed what they were passionate about and took the risk. It’s made me realize how important it is to just go for it, even when things aren’t 100% clear.It’s a bit of a nostalgic one, a bit of a reset — but mostly just me reflecting on what’s next, what I’ve learned, and why this goodbye is actually a beginning.SUBSCRIBE:http://www.youtube.com/c/lindachristinaSnapchat: lindaxinaBusiness Inquiries: lindachristinabusiness@gmail.com
Sabah el kheir, how are you! This week, I’m finally back with the mic — and honestly, it was about time. I’ve missed these morning debriefs. In this episode, I catch you up on ALL the life updates: from freezing up when someone asked me what my hobbies are (why is that question so hard??) to deciding it’s finally time to find some new ones. I talk about recent travels to Madrid and Milan, a destination wedding in Goa, and hitting my 2-year mark in Dubai — which still feels surreal. So grab your snacks, and let’s enjoy this sobhiye together 💛
Sabah El Kheir y'all! I’ve got a super special guest — my brother Richard! I've talked about him so much, but he's finally here with me and Jess in Dubai.
We talk about what our week in Dubai has been like, family dynamics (fyi he's a triplet), Rich's big move to America, and the ups and downs that came with it. & how we both dealt with post grad emotions while job hunting (not so fun times). Grab your coffee and snacks, and let’s enjoy this sobhiye together!
Sabah el kheir! Today, I’m joined by my mom, artist Nicole Karam. Ever since I can remember, art has been her passion and way of life, shaping how I view creativity in my own life. In this episode, we talk about her childhood in Lebanon, her journey to the U.S. after marrying my dad, and how her life experiences have inspired her art—from her 'Tribute to the Masters' series to her latest collection, 'Libanaise.' We recorded this episode outdoors at one of our favorite and most sentimental spots in Ashrafieh, right outside her art gallery, where her work comes to life. The streets of Beirut, with all its energy and beauty, inspire us both, and it felt only fitting to bring you along.
Sabah el kheir, ya’ll! This week, I’ve dragged Jess back to the podcast because we need to have a serious talk—but obviously, we can never be too serious.
Honestly, life in your 20s feels like the most bizarre, confusing time ever, and since Jess is right in the middle of it too, I thought it was only fair to get her take on it. Just some sisterly chats and advice we’re definitely not qualified to give—but we’re giving it anyway.
We also answered some of your questions about life, love, and the big one: is it okay to have a girl best friend and a girlfriend at the same time? Tough call, but let’s get into it!
(VIDEO PODCAST AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY & YOUTUBE) Hi y’all, sabah el kheir! This week’s episode is a total brain dump of all the random thoughts running through my head. We’re talking about aliens in the ocean, whether I’m actually qualified to give my friends advice, and why erasing your boundaries is never okay. Lately, I’ve been giving out advice left and right, but when it’s my turn to take it, I’m like... wow, this is way easier said than done. It’s a reminder that listening to your own advice is important, but life isn’t a rulebook — you can’t just flip to the right page every time. I also get into how life is giving, not just taking. Everything you want? It’s possible. Sometimes you just have to trust that life is on your side. So, let’s sit down, catch up, and debrief!
Sabah El kheir, y’all! Jess and I get into a mix of everything this week, from protecting your peace to living a little wild. While Jess has been all about keeping it 'chill', I’ve been on the opposite end, enjoying the spontaneous plans. We’re talking boys, dates, wild nights out, and maybe even a 'not-so-potential' boyfriend. Lately, it’s all about doing it for the plot — and with my friend visiting Dubai, we’ve been next level... Grab your snacks, and let’s enjoy a sobihye together!
Sabah El Kheir y'all! I’m back, and this time, I’ve got a super special guest — my sister and best friend, Jess! I've talked about her so much, but she's finally here with me in Dubai. So naturally, we sat down to revisit our childhood and upbringing. If you think I reminisce a lot (and go off on tangents), just wait—Jess and I have so many shared memories, and plenty of funny ones, too! We talk about what it was like growing up in the USA, festive seasons, family dynamics, the big move to Lebanon, and the ups and downs that came with it. My experience was super exciting and positive, while Jess had a tougher time, facing intense culture shock. & how we both dealt with bullying growing up but managed to overcome it. Grab your coffee and snacks, and let’s enjoy this sobhiye together!

Sabah el kheir y’all! This week’s episode is, honestly, just a reflection of whatever’s going on in my head when I hit record. First off, I’ll be in Ibiza for the next three weeks for a work trip—yup, you heard that right, a work trip to Ibiza. Also, realizing as I’m saying this, I need to get on my Duolingo ASAP because I can’t go back (after already being there for two months this summer) barely knowing even the basics of Spanish.
We also get into how people who think something’s embarrassing are just embarrassing themselves, and how putting yourself out there is the fastest way to overcome intimidation and build confidence. Oh, and I go on a full-on rant about my high school French teacher—pretty sure she hated me.
P.S. Mom, I’m still upset you never taught me French because I could have avoided hearing the word 'dommage' from my French teacher after my oral in front of everyone.
Btw dommage = pity.
On a more serious note, I open up about a really scary incident with my dad that had the whole family pretty worried this week.
But we’re lightening things up at the end—I got a new desk, LOL. So yeah, we’ve got a lot to talk about this week. Let’s get into it in this sobhiye!
Sabah El Kheir! This week, I'm reflecting on how much I loved my childhood and the family dynamics that shaped me. Recently, I visited my childhood home in the US after many years of living overseas, and it stirred up all kinds of emotions. To top it off, I found an old hard drive that took me on a trip down memory lane. One cool discovery? A folder from the extra semester I spent in a TV and film program-after already graduating in Finance and Marketing! In this episode, I share how those experiences led to my first short film and why l've always been drawn to creative outlets like fashion, modeling, pageants, painting, and more. Let's get into it!
Sabah El Kheir! I may be a bit sick this week, but that’s not stopping me from a good rant. Naturally, I had to dive into my glasses-buying experience because, honestly, it blew my mind. This episode feels like a YouTube search bar, jumping from one random thought to the next — from glasses to the trending foods I’ve been trying because of social media, to missing those days baking with my sister back home. We’re covering it all today, so grab your snacks and let’s enjoy a chill sobhiye together!
Sabah el kheir! In this week's episode, we're diving into why I moved to Dubai—something that was never part of the plan, but life has its own ways of surprising us. It all started with a bestie vacay that unexpectedly turned into my reality. Who would have imagined? Certainly not me. We'll also discuss the challenges of making friends and meeting new people in your 20s, especially when you move to a new country. Seriously, how do people do it? And of course, I couldn't resist bringing up dating apps. Grab some snacks, and let's talk about it in this sobhiye!
Sabah El Kheir! I can’t believe summer is practically... over?! September always gives me that weird feeling because reality starts creeping back in. It’s not my favorite time of year—everyone’s either starting uni, getting a new job, or feeling lost (like I was). So let’s get into it. I’ve got some throwbacks from my freshman year to share.. like my first-ever breakup that led to a major haircut disaster. You know, 'hair holds memories.' Spoiler: I hardly recognized myself afterwards. But in the end, everything turned out for the best... I guess?
Sabah el kheir! I'm joined by a very special guest today—meet Jena, my cousin by birth but sister for life. We've lived through more experiences together than we should probably admit, but where's the fun in holding back? From sharing the same background and cultural values to navigating all the boy drama, we cover it all. Jena has a way of getting herself into some interesting situations let's just say, like getting into a car with strangers during her Dubai vacay, but I love her life motto: 'do it for the story.' Enjoy listening to us spill some wild story times!

Welcome to Sabah El Kheir with Linda Christina! I learned something new in Paris—dressing down is never the move, even if you spill hot chocolate all over your blazer. Trust me, a hoodie won’t cut it. But hey, you live and learn the unspoken rules wherever you go.
In this week’s episode, I’m spilling everything that’s been on my mind (it’s a lot) from being stood up to getting chased by a cockroach... yes, seriously. It’s a good morning, so grab your coffee and let’s have a sobhiye together!

Welcome to Sabah El Kheir with Linda Christina, I’m opening up about some big life changes. From starting this podcast and moving to Dubai to why I decided to keep my apartment unfurnished with just a single poster on the wall (which definitely needs to change) and making it feel more like home, I’m sharing it all. I’ll also talk about my early days on social media—how I got comfortable posting and what led me to finally launch this podcast. Grab your coffee, and let’s enjoy a sobhiye together!
