In Episode Six of May She Reign, Farida sits down with Dr. Dahlia Khalifa, her mother and the namesake of DALYA, for one of the most personal conversations of the season.

Dahlia has built and rebuilt her life more than once. She was one of the first women to open her own investment banking firm in Egypt, later moved countries, changed careers, went back to school, and continued creating new chapters for herself along the way.

They talk about ambition, reinvention, identity, and the choices that shape a life. Dahlia reflects on the decisions she has made, the paths she did not take, and why she does not believe in spending too much time looking backward.

They also talk about what happens when you stop managing other people’s perception of you, and how much more honestly you can connect once you do.

It is a conversation about building a life that can change shape many times, trusting yourself through those changes, and defining success on your own terms.

May She Reign is hosted by Farida Raafat, founder of DALYA NYC.

In Episode Five of May She Reign, Farida sits down with Dr. Shabani Alhuwalia, a gynecologist who focuses on fertility medicine, for a candid conversation about fertility, infertility, IVF, and the parts of women’s health that are still not talked about openly enough.

They get into the numbers behind fertility, including how likely pregnancy is in any given month, why so many infertility cases remain unexplained, the role male infertility plays, and what IVF success rates can actually look like.

Shabani also talks about the emotional side of fertility treatment, why small wins matter, and how even difficult moments can sometimes give doctors valuable information about what is happening in the body.

The conversation goes beyond fertility statistics and into the questions people often do not think to ask until they are already navigating the process themselves.

A practical, honest conversation about fertility, women’s health, and understanding our bodies a little better.

In Episode Four of May She Reign, Farida sits down with basketball analyst Monica McNutt for a conversation about ambition, confidence, redirection, community, competition, and what it means to build a life that feels full.

Monica talks about the lessons that shaped her long before television, from learning what it really means to put in the work to understanding that none of us has to be just one thing.

They talk about the moments that redirect us, the careers and lives we build along the way, and the idea of “having it all.” Monica offers a different way to think about it: maybe the goal is not to have everything, but to have enough of what matters.

The conversation also gets into supporting yourself while supporting others, competing without losing your sense of community, defining fulfillment for yourself, and what it has been like to have a front row seat to such an unforgettable moment for the New York Knicks.

A conversation about doing the work, trusting yourself, making room for others, and building a life that feels full on your own terms.
