Qatari media personality Sheikha al-Mannai appears as a guest on Kyf Alhal? (Arabic for how are you?), the podcast show hosted by Milad Hadchiti on Alaraby 2.

In this inspiring conversation, al-Mannai reflects on key moments in her professional journey and shares deeply personal experiences that have shaped her outlook on life.

During the episode, al-Mannai emphasised the importance of lifelong learning and personal growth. Highlighting how her transition into the media sector provided a powerful platform to spotlight critical social issues — an opportunity she noted is rarely available in other fields.

She also opened up about her personal journey battling cancer, revealing the challenges she faced and the invaluable lessons she learned along the way. She described the experience as “a turning point” that strengthened her resilience and will to live, especially with the emotional support of her family and loved ones.

During the interview, al-Mannai expressed concern about the growing presence of unqualified individuals discussing mental health on social media and urged the public to remain grounded in values and authentic knowledge amid the increasing commercialization of information.

Host Milad Hadchiti underscores the power of real-life stories to uplift others, saying: “A story of cancer recovery doesn’t just offer hope to patients — it sends a message of strength to anyone facing major challenges in life.”

The programme "Kyf Alhal?" airs every Tuesday at 8.30pm Doha time on Alaraby 2 channel. It can also be watched later via the on-demand service on the Alaraby Plus app.
