Hard Truths and Hope

Season 3, Episode 14 of On the Sofa with British Mums feels like a big-sister catch-up in the best possible way. 

In this episode, host Emma Isbell is joined by the “big sisters” of British Mums, Rohini Gill and Heather Harries, for a real and honest conversation about what life in the UAE looks like right now.

They discuss the realities behind the headlines for both small and large businesses, the balancing act of homeschooling, Zoom calls, and family life, and the quiet ways so many are adapting behind the scenes. The episode is filled with candid moments, shared frustrations, and plenty of “me too” stories—but running through it all is a strong undercurrent of hope.

This conversation isn’t just about what the community is going through; it’s about what it’s growing into. Together, they reflect on the resilience of mums and business owners, the creativity that continues to thrive, and the belief that rebuilding is not only possible but inevitable—wiser, stronger, and more connected than ever. It’s a thoughtful, uplifting listen with women who’ve been there, seen it, and continue to cheer everyone on every step of the way.
