Rahaf Kobeissi - What Do Women Have to Do with Men’s Mental Health?

Rahaf Kobeissi - What Do Women Have to Do with Men’s Mental Health?

By Mo Gawdat

This episode is the first in a series looking at remarkable women of the Middle East.
A remarkable guest is someone who has come a long way after hardships, and my guest Rahaf Kobeissi is remarkable because of her journey from a very difficult beginning to who she is now. Her name translates to something delicate but she is far from that in a way. She stands big in front of CEO&aposs in the Middle East, coaching them directly. She also works with women giving them the tools they need to excel. Her impact has been massive but may have been unlikely because of her journey.

Rahaf Kobeissi is a well-being coach and host of the podcast "Don&apost be a Man About It"  and founder of Rays of Your Mental Health, after the sudden suicide of her father.
