The scariest thing isn't change, it's never changing at all. So why do we resist it?
Najwa Zebian – poet, author, and advocate – has built a global following by confronting life's hardest truths:
Why we stay in toxic relationships,
Why walking away feels impossible, and
Why we struggle to truly own our worth.
In this episode, she opens up about loss, identity, and rebuilding life on her own terms. If you've ever felt trapped or afraid to move forward, this conversation will change the way you see yourself, and your future.
A special thank you to the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature for making this interview possible.
