In this episode, MEEDA's VP Carine El Khazen receives Rania Masri El Khatib,a senior retail executive with over 20 years of experience and the mother of 2 girls.
Rania talks about her journey from the shop floor to being one of the most influental retail executives in the Middle East region, and her choice to take a sabbatical in order to regroup and decide what comes next. Rania is a firm believer in mentoring and empowering women to be leaders across our industry and beyond.
Together, Carine and Rania wonder if women can really have it all - career, looks, relationship, family - without losing their minds and identity in the process.
They evoke the overvaluation of appearance in our society (12:30) and how the health and wellness industry tends to encourage eating disorder behaviours (18:45). They exchange some tips about parenting young kids in a positive body image atmosphere (21:10), but also when is emotional eating really about emotions or simply a sign of hunger that's left unaddressed (27:00). They also cover social media influences and what can women do to address the common societal pressure they experience on a daily basis.
