Our Goodbye Episode...

This episode is powered by Colabs. We have a brand new studio space and office and we have an exclusive discount for our listeners 👉   http://colabs.sa/inside-saudi   Why won't we just get help? We both moved to Riyadh for our husbands' jobs, and both ended up running everything at home while they work 70 and 80-hour weeks on some of the biggest projects in the country. No family down the road, little kids, and Riyadh traffic that can turn a nail appointment into a five-hour afternoon.   We talk about why so many of us refuse help until something breaks (Vesna was in hospital, unable to walk, and still said no), how we split the load at home, learning to say no to the 7pm class across the city, and the in-between options most people don't know exist: weekly cleans instead of a full-time nanny, a 30-minute shoulder massage at 4:30pm, a sofa deep clean instead of a new sofa.   Inside Saudi is the English-language podcast about daily life in Saudi Arabia today, hosted by Carly Overman and Vesna Petrovic in Riyadh.

We have a brand new studio space and office and we have an exclusive discount for our listeners 👉 http://colabs.sa/inside-saudi An American woman's honest story of 15 years in Saudi Arabia. In this deep and moving episode, Carly and Vesna sit down with Micah Nicole, who reverted to Islam, married a Saudi at 19 and moved to Saudi Arabia 15 years ago, for one of the most honest conversations we have had on the show. Micah shares her revert story, the visa battle to even get here, learning to be a Saudi wife, the real pressure placed on a foreigner marrying into a Saudi family, her message to be gentle on reverts, her divorce and starting over, why every woman needs a backup, and how she became one of the first public singers in the country and a radio host for six years.

He teaches Carly and Vesna the Saudi word munbatih (منبطح, literally "lying flat") and explains why people use it on him, makes the case for south Riyadh over the north, and tells the story of how his sister turned him into the guy reviewing K-pop in a thobe. We also get into how Saudis talk about mental health now, what inshallah really means, why the desi community holds a special place in Saudi, his pitch to dub The Lion King in a Saudi dialect, and what it would take for Carly to eat her first shawarma in 18 years.

How do you actually launch something in Saudi Arabia? The honest answer surprised us too.   In this (bed) episode, Carly and Vesna share what really helped them build Inside Saudi over their first year, and it is not the business advice you would expect. It is about patience, relationships, gut feeling and serving people first.   We cover the advice that is more nuanced, why we run everything on vibes and our gut, playing to your strengths, the how can I help you mindset that defines Saudi business, setting boundaries, the licenses and language barriers we are still working through, why not everyone will like you, how to finally start putting yourself out there, and also how we choose our guests.   Inside Saudi is the English language podcast about daily life in Saudi Arabia today, hosted by Carly Overman and Vesna Petrovic in Riyadh.

One year ago, we packed our bags and moved to Saudi Arabia. In our very first episode, we shared everything we thought we knew. Now, 365 days later, we're revisiting every claim, do we still stand by them? From compound life and close friendships to the heat, the winter cold, bringing dogs, plant-based food struggles, the cost of living, and whether you should really "just pack two suitcases and go", we're getting honest about what we got right, what we got wrong, and what a year of living in Riyadh has actually been like.   🎙️ Hosted by Carly Overman & Vesna Petrovic @caroverman  @vesnapetrovicx @insidesaudiarabia   🔑 Use code INSIDESA10 for 10% off tickets to see Aleph Abi Saad & his Orchestra "Dance of Sands" at Boulevard City on October 2nd at 7pm.  Book on WeBook (search "Aleph").   📌 In this episode:   Do we still say "Don't Google it, just go"?

Living in Saudi is not always the highlight reel. This week we get honest. Carly and Vesna talk through the hard parts of living in Saudi Arabia, the things nobody posts about. From the fear of driving in Riyadh, to the loneliness of expat life, to the real struggle of starting a business here. If you are moving to Saudi Arabia or already living in Riyadh, this episode covers what it is actually like: why everyone is scared to drive and how to get over it, buying a car in Saudi, the road rules nobody tells you, finding friends and beating loneliness, and navigating Misa, premium residency and business licensing as an expat.

In this Inside Saudi episode, Carly and Vesna give an honest review of the best compounds in Riyadh, from Flow Granada to Palma 2, Vives, Wadi Qortuba, Al Nakhla and more, then answer your questions in a full Q&A. If you are moving to Saudi Arabia or living in Riyadh, this is your guide to compound life: what it really costs, the Ejar rent freeze that can save you money, the best dog friendly compounds, how to actually make friends as an expat, nanny agencies and a scary nanny story, after school routines, nursery versus school, and more.

This one is bittersweet. It is our goodbye episode. Carly and Vesna are back from summer and packing up their studio for the very last time. In this catch up they get into everything that went down over the break, the good, the dramatic, and the completely ridiculous. From the nanny who left the baby home alone and then did a runner, to a 300 year old house falling apart, kids catching 12 fish spearfishing in Greece, dogs that look like they got run over, and the honest truth about why they are outgrowing their Riyadh compound. Grateful for the last year and everything that came with it and ready for the next chapter. Plus a big tease about what is coming next.

This might be the most important conversation we have had on Inside Saudi. We sit down with Sajid Khan, a child safeguarding and education expert who moved from Birmingham to Riyadh at 24 and has spent over a decade protecting children in schools across the Kingdom. We get into what safeguarding really means, why Saudi can feel safer than the UK, the neglect cases that changed how he sees parenting, how AI is creating a whole new risk for kids, why the teacher matters more than the school, and the exact questions every parent should ask before choosing one. Whether you are raising kids in Saudi, moving here soon, or you just care about keeping children safe, this episode is essential listening.
