Riyadh, September 8, 2025 – The hosts of Kalam Nawaem welcome actress Noor Ali to discuss women’s concerns at the age of 30, touching on themes of relationships, marriage, and motherhood. During the conversation, Noor shares her mixed emotions and questions that reflect both her personal anxieties and the pressures of family and society. She also addresses a key question: Should women be expected to achieve certain milestones by the age of 30?
The four hosts – Najah Al-Masaeed, Nada Ba Ashen, Sherine Arafa, and Mais Anbar – expand on the topic with Noor, highlighting the importance of personal timing rather than societal expectations in achieving success. Noor stresses that age has nothing to do with success, and that fear should serve as motivation, not an obstacle. She also discusses the social pressure surrounding marriage, rejecting the notion that turning 30 should be seen as a deadline for making life-defining decisions.
In another part of the episode, Noor emphasizes the importance of patience and perseverance on the path to success, pointing out that small opportunities can open the door to greater ones. She underlines the idea that “no step or role should be underestimated, as every well-done effort brings us closer to our bigger goals.” The conversation also touches on the Law of Attraction and whether it is real or a myth. Noor reveals her belief that it is a powerful tool for achieving dreams, with the subconscious mind playing a vital role.
Later in the episode, the hosts welcome Dana Al-Hanbali, a Lebanese-Palestinian young woman who left behind a successful career to embark on a journey of self-discovery in Scotland. She transformed her experiences into a source of inspiration for women, sharing uplifting stories she collected through her podcast Something to Discover.
• Kalam Nawaem airs on MBC1 and MBC Iraq every Sunday at 9:30 PM KSA time.
