Hello guys, Glad to have another guest when I went on my latest trip to Toronto. Very very grateful for his time as he is an important figure for the youth across Canada working with IDRF with a few programs such as GET JOB READY (which I was apart of) that teaches you of resources you might've neglected such as Linkedin that can be powerful if used correctly to land a job or open the door to build connections and seed that job one day. I sat down with him to ask him his thoughts on where we are in the world today and what our youth can do to prosper in a time like this and he had GEMS! This is a good one because he knows his stuff through more than a decade of his passion being the youth and building connections with thousands across Canada. Hope you enjoy it!  Follow Elyas on Instagram to interact with him --> https://bit.ly/2QFu3kL Follow me on socials to interact and discuss on what you thought of the episode!

Welcome back! This as promised is part 2 of the last episode since there was so much content covered. As I get better equipped for these episodes moving forward, I will progressively get better in editing, recording and timing my moments to speak. Overall I like how this episode turned out with Noor, Waheed, and Hussein who at one point or another were vulnerable sharing their opinions on different topics. I hope you like what my friends and I touched on and again, hope there was some sort of value in listening. I learned something new just by being present in the episode.  Follow me on socials to communicate about anything you heard -->  Instagram: @alialione Twitter: @heyaliali

This episode is very different in terms of having 3 guests on and we treat it as a chill discussion among friends. We touch on a tremendous amount of topics with value being provided from multiple guests. The guests are Noor Abdul Hussein, Hussein Mahmoud, and Waheed Housany. As always, any opinions on what I did well or need to work on is welcomed. See you next Friday for Part 2 of this episode where we continue our discussion with our 3 guests.

Hey Guys, WARNING: There are parts in this episode that may be uncomfortable to hear due to its nature regarding suicide, mental disorders and some supernatural stories.  Now this week's episode is one of the hardest to edit and put up because of the sensitive topics that were discussed. It is powerful and as you listen to it throughout, remember this is a person who just turned 18 years old. From losing her father at an early age to developing some psychological disorders along the way, she is the epitome of the word "Perseverance" and I'm sure you will be thankful and inspired in your own life. This puts the "Mental" in the Mentality podcast. Enjoy and as always, I am open to messages to discuss it if you wish. Connect with me!  Twitter - @heyaliali Instagram - @alialione

Hey Guys, This episode is with Ali Ayyash, who has quite the story from moving with his brother all the way from Kuwait to have a different life. His perspective is unique in that he had more than half his life across the globe and has seen things and met people who are different than us here in the West. Very insightful and anyone can learn a thing or two from our discussion on extreme poverty and how happiness can be found anywhere in anyone. Thank you Ali for coming on. Always open to interact and discuss with anyone. You can reach out to me on Twitter - @heyaliali or Instagram - @alialione Take care and Peace! ✌️

Hey Guys, sorry for being a day late, believe me, I edited this episode for days because I am a perfectionist in that regard. This episode is with my friend and rap artist Aboubacar, aka King Caexar who's part of the rap group TRAINING SEASON.  He is very knowledgeable about psychology and the music industry as he tries to maneuver through being the best artist he can be. Very very interesting points as he has a lot to say about life! I love his intense unwavering stance on his beliefs. No hesitation. I hope you learn something because I did asking him questions. If you enjoy the episode, you can drop a valuable comment or rating on your platform of choice.  You can reach me on Instagram to talk about the episode - @alialione Twitter - @heyaliali

Hello Guys, this episode is definitely top 2 of me along with the episode with my sister. My great friend Hasan joined me to discuss some humorous things like sleeping at my house when we were younger for a week and more serious things like losing his dad at the age of 13. He really doesn't hold anything back and goes into detail so be warned it isn't all smiles. It gets very deep in some parts near the end so enjoy this emotional talk about inspiration, challenges, and moving out after overcoming obstacles in his life. This man is 23 years young and I'm sure one day he will write about these things. Tell me what you think about the episode on Twitter - @heyaliali .  Thank you Hasan for coming on and opening up unfiltered the way you did making yourself vulnerable in some parts.

Hey, What's up? Today I speak on the side of the lockdown that people aren't really touching on enough and that's the psychological problems that this is causing to people.  How do this 2nd version of the lockdown affect people differently? Also I touch on the younger generation and how they are getting affected by this new lifestyle at home and how that overlaps my generation when we were growing up playing outside for what felt like nonstop. Tell me what you guys think? See you Friday for another episode. This is late because it was supposed to be done on Friday so I will see you then! Much Love and peace. Stay Safe as well.

This episode I talk about my convocation ceremony and how I had unrealistic expectations for it for several years and during covid, it was really underwhelming. I set the bar too high. Topics touched on involve stepping out of your circle and making new friends that aren't copies of you because you should strive to grow. The Hierarchy of Needs by Psychologist Abraham Maslow and how we strive for different levels of needs, ultimately reaching self-actualization was discussed in depth as well. Overall an episode where I hope you learn something new and I inform you where my headspace is at and my future goals, along with focusing on the right things.  Oh, I also come to a realization mid-episode and delete Instagram!

My first guest on the podcast and it's my sister. She touches on alot of topics including the importance of family and what she dealt with traveling alone as a 20 year old living in Iraq for a year. The experiences, the lifestyle, and advice for individuals finding themselves, this episode has some gems. Stay until the end, that's my favorite part, she drops some KNOWLEDGE.

Hello everyone, I am glad to be back with episode number 7 of the Mentality podcast, where I touch on some interesting things about our thoughts and just how much time we spend on focusing on the future. The goal of happiness and what we should strive for according to research. Very informative, along with the news that I got a kitten named after a very influential athlete that changed the way I view hard work. I hope you enjoy the episode and my next one will be with my sister! Can't wait for you guys to hear it. P.S since it's my first guest, the length will be  longer. Peace out!

I didn't mention it in the episode but HAPPY CANADA DAY to every Canadian out there. So glad to call this country ours. Covid-19 has made this one quite different but still amazing. I went traveling to Toronto guys and I loved it. Ate some good food, got some exercise and enjoyed the sun! Also had a spontaneous deep conversation with a stranger I picked back from Toronto to Ottawa. Very valuable I think for anyone to listen to. Enjoy the rest of your week!

I GRADUATED. I talk about what I learned. Covid is crazy too. I like this one. 

Hello current listeners and new listeners! I want to share with you this episode that is looonnnnngggg overdue. I think it's my best one yet in terms of the way I speak and I like my flow in the episode. Tell me if you agree or not? I touch on several topics like a study regarding grades and happiness from YALE University and also the concept of getting used to something, i.e not being surprised as if anything you did was new to you to eliminate some of life's problems. It's a deep thinking concept if you allow yourself to think about it without any restrictions on your part.  Connect with me : Twitter - @heyaliali    Instagram - @alialione 

Hey there returning and new listeners! So I have listened to some of you saying that my voice was too loud and clear in the last episode so I tweaked it with this one. Better or Worse? In this episode I made it short and touched on camping last week which was AMAZING with my partner. I also speak on my thoughts of how people talk alot about how much we sleep but not enough about how we sleep. Also I have found that journaling has been a game changer for me, even just writing on my phone thoughts that randomly come to my mind in the most unconventional times. If your want to communicate with me, leave a comment below if you'd like or communicate on Twitter. My handle is @heyaliali

Hey there wandering listener and to all the new listeners who have listened to episode 1 of the Mentality podcast and have given me a chance to take another 20-30 minutes out of your day when you could be doing anything with your time. I want you to know that it means a lot to me ! In this episode, I touch on quite a few topics, from an experience in my life a few years ago that broke me down but humbled me in a way that has shaped me and peaked my interests in things today that I speak about. I also touch on how people in developed countries who seem to "have it all" are more miserable than people around the world who "have nothing" and what that does to someone and why? I also go on a passionate discussion about us as a society enjoying the benefits of advancements in technology but at what cost? If these topics interest you, there's more I go in depth in as a student viewing the world from a curious lens. Interact with me and tell me what you think. As always, don't be afraid to leave a comment or any constructive criticism.

Hello there fellow wandering listener! I am happy to have you click on my first ever episode for my podcast that isn't named yet. (I have an idea!) In this episode, I spend the first hour ON MY BIRTHDAY and I talk to anyone listening. I share a few things I've learned in my life in the past 25 years of existence. I think there are some gems in this episode that could help people and it's like I'm talking to you one on one and I allow you to enter a mind of a growing adult in the working world. I kept it sub 25 minutes to really keep it digestible. Tell me what you think! I AM OPEN TO CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
