TheJourneywithM
The Journey with M is a contemplative podcast with Mona. An invitation to journey with both the self and with humanity, through a mindful lens.
Here, mindfulness is not about techniques or fixing the mind. It is a space where we meet beyond thought. A space to explore the state of the world, both the inner and the outer. A space to slow down enough to notice what is actually present in each sacred moment. Moments that will never return in the same way.
This podcast grows from the same intention as Mona’s earlier Arabic podcast Mn’albi (“From My Heart”): to reflect on what emerges when we pause, listen, and allow life to meet us as it is.
No absolute truths or ready-made answers are offered here. Instead, each episode invites the listener to discern what feels true in their own heart. Listening without rushing to judgment. Allowing insight to reveal itself in its own time. Staying with what is.
This kind of listening takes courage.
The word courage comes from the French cœur (the heart) our center where feeling, will, and meaning meet.
To be courageous is not to be without fear, but to let the heart speak even when fear is present. To live from the chest forward. To remain open. To allow the heart to lead.
Guided by the heart’s intelligence, these conversations explore how we touch life, how we listen, and how our presence leaves its mark on the world.
Each episode is an invitation to feel, to remember, and to listen not from the mind alone, but from the wholeness of your being, from the comfort of your own space.
Wherever you are listening from, you are welcome to journey with M.

The 3 why's!
To get to the depth of whether something is right or wrong: ask yourself why and when you get an answer, ask why again and when you get an answer, ask why a third time. That last answer will allow us to see if it's moral or not
