Main characters, we've got a lot to cover today, and I've got the best person to do it with—my sister Katarina's joining us on the pod, and things get wild. We're about to make a big move to Europe, and we dive into what this next chapter means for us—our goals, dreams, and everything in between. It's an episode packed with big news, hot takes, and all the feels.

I have some news...I am leaving New York. Long story short, I'm moving to London for grad school. I know this is so out of the blue but on today's episode, I go into detail of how long I've been working on this and what's to come. I know my time in New York was short, but wow oh wow did I learn a lot. This city is so incredibly special and it chewed me up and spit me right back out. I've never felt better. This is a really special episode to me. I hope you like it <3

Team, lots to discuss here today. We are going to talk about Trump and his new VP pick, me performing stand up in front of my MOTHER for the first time, and dissecting the misogyny we see in the world. I feel so often that as a woman, I have to be hyper-aware of everything I do so I don't take up too much space, say the wrong thing, or have to fit into this mold of what or how a "woman" should act. From my memories in college in a sorority to the casual belittling I see of women daily, we have a lot to unpack here.

Well well well...look who decided to show up. Welcome back to another episode of Main Character with Yasmine! Sorry for the few weeks of being MIA, but we are back, baby. On today's episode, we have a very special guest, everyone open your arms and hearts for Amelia Montooth! Today, we are going to talk about all things politics, being a baddie, and why celebs need to stop with creating beauty brands out of their asses. Amelia is a dear friend of mine and truly is the voice of our generation. You have probably seen her ripping the patriarchy to shreds on her TikTok or talking about how being queer is one wild roller coaster. I'm so excited for you to join us today.

Main Characters, buckle in because this episode is going to be a wild ride. On this episode, we are going to have a chat with Jake Ulbrich. This human being is one of the most unhinged, wildly brilliant, and chaotic people you will ever come across and I can't wait for you all to meet him. This future NASA electrical engineer will lead us to a better world, with an iced americano in one hand and poppers in the other.

This week we will be talking about rejection and redirection. Rejection often feels like shoved in the chest and your stomach flips upside, or like a closed door shutting in your face. Yet, it's in these moments that redirection reveals its power. Rather than viewing rejection as a dead end, I'm trying to see it as a signpost guiding you onto a different path, perhaps one you hadn't considered before. As much as I'm saying that for you to hear, I really need to hear it.
It's in times of rejection where we learn most about ourselves and I think that's quite resilient.

If there's one thing about me it's that I will always be the annoying girl who studied abroad. I just got back from the UK and we have a lot to discuss... like how I got food poising on my anniversary, or how I started to watch Naked Attraction with my friends, or how there is no one more sensitive than a straight white man. This episode is so unhinged. P.S. I hope you read this imaging me saying this in a British dialect.

This is a throwback episode. I filmed this while I was in the Podeo studios in Beirut and it feels surreal that I was even there. It was a few years since I had been back and this meant more to me than I had anticipated. On this episode, we talk about what home even means. Being apart of the Lebanese diaspora is the biggest part of my identity and my proudest part of my identity. They say home is where the heart is, but what if my heart is in multiple places? Does that still mean that it's my home? This episode is dedicated to Lebanon.

This is a throwback episode so buckle up, team. On this episode, I sat down with Amelia Clarkson to discuss all the nuances of fantasy, her time in The Last Kingdom on Netflix, and writing and directing her first film. During our chat, we pose the questions Is fantasizing just overthinking? What is our earliest memory of fantasizing? Is being the main character just egotistical? So much to talk about with this British baddie.
P.S. I lost the audio to this so sorry it's not high quality >.<
