YES TO LIFE is a space that feels like a jumpseat chat with a friend — fun, positive, and real
Hosted by Bassma, a flight attendant living between time zones and emotions, this podcast is an honest look at what life feels like when you’re always moving.
Each episode is a voice note from somewhere in the world .
We talk about the things that happen at 38,000 feet and the things that happen inside us:
the stress, the clarity, the loneliness, the growth, the nights you can’t sleep, the flights that test you, and the moments that suddenly make everything make sense.
This is the space for flight attendants and travellers who live for meaning, and anyone who’s trying to figure out who they are while the world keeps shifting.
My mission is simple: to help both travelers and crew fly happier, healthier, and more inspired. Through behind-the-scenes insights, travel advice, and mindful reflections,
I want to show that it’s possible not just to survive in this lifestyle, but to thrive — to notice the everyday beauty, to grow, and to feel connected no matter where in the world we are.
It’s not about perfect routines or perfect flights.
It’s about being human — and saying yes to whatever comes next.
New episodes weekly from a different corner of the world.

🎙️🐰 This is your sign to book that solo trip
Solo travel looks ✨aesthetic✨ on Instagram — but the real story lives in the quiet moments, the late-night walks , the unexpected panic 😅, the random conversations 💬, the small wins 🎉, and the heavy shifts that happen when you're thousands of kilometers away from everyone who knows your name.
In this episode, I take you inside the night traveling alone finally made sense to me. From navigating Tokyo’s chaos 🚆, to eating ramen at 3AM 🍜, to realizing what being alone actually feels like, this is the unfiltered solo-travel experience you don’t see online.
Fear.
Freedom.
Confusion.
Clarity.
If you've ever thought about taking a solo trip — or if part of you is scared to — this episode is your sign.
Welcome to YES TO LIFE 🌺✈️💛
