I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. Welcome to slow more. Welcome back. If you recall at the beginning of this year I started a mini series that was called

The Remarkable Women of the Middle East. And that surprisingly got massive, massive appreciation

from our listeners, beautiful stories of amazing women.

And so I thought maybe I could continue a tiny bit more on this series

and bring you the most remarkable of them all. So today my guest is Mona Kataa and

Mona is let's start with the formal introduction.

Mona is the global head of H.D.

Beauty, of HB investment, and of Cuyale, some of the top beauty companies and

investment companies and some of the best perfumes on earth. She also is a celebrity with more than two and a half million followers on the

internet. She is on TV all the time. She is very loved by the Middle East

community and all of that actually does not matter to me at all because once the cameras are off and I sit with Mona as a human she is the most wonderful soul ever and in my heart what you see on

camera and all of the fashion and beauty and elegance when you really, really look deep inside and find such a beautiful,

humble, wonderful soul, that in my view is what's remarkable. Every time I sat with

Monash, she either dispensed some incredible wisdom making it look like a joke or she just made the conversation light and wonderful and joyful.

Whatever happened, it was always, whichever interaction, a meeting a what-app message, there was joy.

So today I'm bringing you joy.

Mona, Kataan, al-Ami. Oh my God, you're so sweet.

It is the truth.

I love you.
