In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Dr. Sheen sits down with the bold and brilliant Mai from Mai’s Vault — a content creator, mother, comedian, and breast cancer survivor who's redefining what it means to live life unapologetically.

From setting boundaries as a mother to finding her voice through comedy, Mai opens up about the raw and real chapters of her life — including her breast cancer diagnosis, the emotional toll it took, and the surprising lessons in beauty, health, and self-worth that came with embracing baldness.We also dive into her love story: how she met her husband, the early signs of something serious, and what love means when life throws its hardest battles.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever laughed through the pain, learned to set boundaries, or tried to find the humor in the hardest moments.

Yusuf Omar is not just an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Seen.tv — he’s also a dear friend. We filmed this episode right in the middle of Web Summit in Doha, inside the iHeart Podcast booth, while chaos buzzed around us — and somehow, this still turned into one of the most grounded, honest conversations I’ve had.

We talk about the shift in his personal beliefs after Gaza, why content creators need to speak up, and what it’s really like living in the Middle East as a global citizen. We also get into identity, racism, and the guts it takes to challenge narratives with your platform.
