In this special episode celebrating International Women’s Day, presenter Sonya Singh sits down with three extraordinary women who have carved their own paths to success while challenging expectations along the way.
Joining the conversation are Rhea Agarwal, Director at Haldiram's, Reena Ranger OBE - Women Empowered, and Abby Ghafoor OBE, CEO of Arc Management Consulting. Together, they open up about the realities women face even after reaching the top.
From constantly needing validation and approval to navigating expectations, responsibilities, and the pressures of proving themselves in male-dominated spaces, the conversation explores the challenges that often remain invisible behind success. This episode is an honest and inspiring look at leadership, identity, and the strength it takes to rise, speak up, and create opportunities for the next generation of women.

Ramadan means something different to everyone, but who decides what is “right”?
In this powerful conversation, we explore the true significance of Ramadan beyond routine and ritual. From personal fasting struggles to community judgment, from modern faith to cultural expectations, we unpack what it really means to practice Islam in today’s world. 
We talk about parenting in multicultural societies, navigating belief in a digital age, and finding the balance between staying rooted and evolving with the times. Most importantly, we reflect on how compassion and understanding can shape a more inclusive Ramadan experience.
This is not just about fasting. It is about faith, identity, and the space we give each other to grow.
