Women Unfiltered
Two heads think better.
Two women, different experiences, and a shared belief that the most important conversations are rarely one-dimensional.
In Women Unfiltered, we bring together our personal journeys, professional experience, research, and network of guests to explore the topics that shape modern life. From friendship, relationships, motherhood, career, and mental health to women's rights, identity, culture, and expat life, we look at relatable challenges from multiple angles.
We were taught that staying married meant success. But what if staying was sometimes the problem?
For generations, women often stayed because divorce simply wasn’t a realistic option — financially, socially or culturally.
So when we look at “long-lasting marriages,” are we always looking at happier relationships… or just fewer choices?
This conversation got very real.

Why do women suffer through miscarriage so quietly?
In this episode of Women Unfiltered, we talk about miscarriage without softening it, minimizing it, or rushing toward “moving on.”
The grief. The shock. The guilt no one warns you about. The strange experience of your body carrying on while your mind is still trying to understand what happened. And the silence that can make such a common loss feel incredibly lonely.
This is a conversation about what women actually go through — physically, emotionally, and privately — and why we need to get better at talking about pregnancy loss.
A deeply personal episode for anyone who has experienced miscarriage, supported someone through it, or simply wants to understand it better.

Friendship
In this completely spontaneous episode, we talk about friendship, loneliness, and the emotional reality of adult relationships — especially while living abroad in the UAE.
What makes someone a real friend? Why is it harder to build deep connections as we get older? And how do modern life, work, children, and social media affect our relationships?
We discuss loneliness in expat life, emotional support, trust, boundaries, fake friendships, shared values, and the small moments that reveal people’s true character.
A candid, funny, and honest conversation about human connection, loyalty, and why meaningful friendships may be one of the most important things for our mental health.

Journaling
In Episode II of Women Unfiltered, Jelena and Vera talk honestly about journaling, overthinking, secret diaries, emotional overload, forced gratitude and all the thoughts that apparently refuse to leave quietly.We explore why your journal does not need to be profound, beautifully written or worthy of publication. Sometimes it can simply say:“I am tired, annoyed, confused—and I still don’t know where that music is coming from.”We also discuss why writing about difficult experiences may initially make you feel worse before helping you organise what happened, whether gratitude journaling works when you feel grateful for absolutely nothing, and how handwriting, voice notes and digital tools can all give your thoughts somewhere else to live.Research discussed by Psychology Today suggests that journaling may support emotional processing, self-reflection and stress reduction, although it is not a magical cure and different approaches work for different people.Research published through Cambridge University Press has also examined expressive writing and its potential emotional and physical benefits, while noting that results depend on the person, context and type of writing used.Because sometimes journaling is not about producing a beautiful page.It is about getting one thought out of your head before it opens another tab.🎙️ Women Unfiltered — no filter or pretend, just the truth.Read more:Psychology Today: How to Journal for Mental Healthhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/conquering-codependency/202408/how-to-journal-for-mental-healthCambridge University Press: Emotional and Physical Health Benefits of Expressive Writinghttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/advances-in-psychiatric-treatment/article/emotional-and-physical-health-benefits-of-expressive-writing/ED2976A61F5DE56B46F07A1CE9EA9F9FContinue your journaling with iMindeWrite what is on your mind and receive personalised summaries and reflections through the iMinde app.Download for iPhone:https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/iminde/id6751294546Download for Android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iminde.app

Life in and out of UAE
Is the UAE the ultimate expat destination — and what happens after it?
In this episode, we share our honest experience living in the UAE for over a decade, discussing safety, lifestyle, comfort, and the emotional reality of building a life far from home.
We explore the difficult question many expats face:
Where do you go after experiencing life in the UAE?
From Europe to Canada, Australia, and the Mediterranean, we discuss countries people dream about relocating to, the realities of immigration, raising children abroad, work-life balance, and the emotional weight of choosing where to belong.
A candid conversation about migration, identity, family, and finding your place in the world.
