Shay w Ahwa is a bilingual podcast where we (Nancy Nesreen) sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and reflect on life’s most defining moments—from love, motherhood, and healing to boundaries, ambition, and self-discovery.
In Season 1: Reflections, we share personal stories that shaped us as women, daughters, and mothers—offering heartfelt lessons to our daughters and listeners alike.
In Season 2: Intentions, we take those reflections a step further. Each week, we ask a bold “What if I…?” question to challenge how we live—from how we sleep, eat, and connect, to how we move through the world more intentionally.
Tune in every Wednesday for raw reflections, science-backed insights, and soul-filling chats.
♥ With love, Nancy and Nesreen
