Danya Almulla is the TV personality and entrepreneur Netflix fans know from Dubai Bling, and she is the first Emirati female on the streaming giant. Her upbringing in Abu Dhabi included an international school education and a father who urged her to learn while reminding her to honor her faith and her culture. She has said that upbringing gave her empathy for other people’s perspectives and made her a well-rounded person.
A trip to New York in her university years inspired her to launch By D, a streetwear cap line. She founded Bicnic, a luxury picnic business. In 2025 she took the stage at The Future of Women Leaders Forum in Dubai, hosted by Gulf News and BeingShe, and gave a peek behind the curtain of Dubai Bling: a single minute of screen action can take roughly two hours to prepare and around five hours to film.
That same openness is on full display in the latest episode of Meet My Friendz Podcast, which is live today and packed full of insight on a topic plenty of people wish they had learned about sooner.
Danya Almulla Welcomes Seba Jamal to the Podcast
Get ready, because the latest episode of Meet My Friendz Podcast is live, and Danya Almulla has a special guest in the seat opposite her: Seba Jamal. The topic is spotting a narcissist, and Seba brings her insight and her experience to the table. She talks about recognizing the most important signs to look out for and about protecting yourself from narcissistic behavior.
If you have ever wondered why certain people leave others doubting every little thing, this episode is full of answers. Danya gives Seba the floor, and the result is a jam-packed episode that is easy to follow and hard to forget. Everything Seba says is offered in service of one goal: helping people protect themselves and the ones they love.
Seba Jamal Names the Slow Damage of a Hidden Narcissist
Seba opens on a striking description. Life beside a hidden narcissist, she says, is a slow death. She then takes on a question many people ask: is narcissism a psychological illness? Seba offers her own answer. In her view, the hidden narcissist is a hypocrite, a person whose conscience is missing entirely.
According to Seba, a narcissist turns you into a detective. You end up investigating, piecing things together, and trying to work out why life at home has become so confusing. She adds that a narcissist walks away once a fresh victim shows up on the horizon, because the hunt for a new target is always on.
Those are bold statements, and Danya Almulla lets every one of them breathe on the episode. Seba speaks from her own experience, and her words hand listeners plenty to think about once the episode ends.
Danya Almulla Listens as Seba Jamal Turns to Faith
One of the most fascinating stretches of the episode is Seba’s look at faith. She explains that a narcissist can be praying and fasting, displaying to everyone outwardly that he fears God and lives a spotless life, all while hurting his family and tearing them apart. Danya Almulla and Seba dive into what that truly means for daily life, and the insight is eye-opening.
Seba then brings up Surah Al-Baqarah and recalls verse 204. It describes a person whose words about worldly life please the listener, while Allah bears witness to what is in his heart. Seba connects this to the narcissist at the beginning of a relationship: very nice, very pleasant, and that early charm is exactly what draws the prey in.
Her takeaway is that these stories about hypocrites were included in scripture to tell people that life will bring plenty of similar characters. Her advice is short and powerful: beware of them.
Born This Way or Raised This Way?
Here comes a question that gets people talking. Is a person born a narcissist, or do a father and a mother influence the upbringing, or does the world around a child play the biggest part? Seba puts the question on the table and asks what the reason could be for someone to become a narcissist at all.
She also makes a fascinating observation. A person can live beside a narcissist for ten years and find out little about their true nature, because narcissism goes after good people, those who have very good hearts. Seba asks who else a narcissist could laugh at aside from kind people, and that one question is worth the price of admission.
Danya Almulla keeps the exchange lively, and the episode is a joy to follow from start to finish. Every minute is full of lessons that people can start using today.
