Today’s guest is the incredible Mouna Azirar—an entrepreneur, luxury brand expert, and founder of the bespoke event and travel company, SÖNRAI. With Moroccan, Irish, and English heritage, Mouna’s international background has shaped her journey across four countries. She spent 17 years in London, six years in Dubai, and, since the pandemic, has been calling Marbella home.
With over 20 years of experience in the luxury sector, she has worked with global markets and prestigious brands like Burberry, mastering business development, market research, and high-end brand strategy. In this episode, we dive into her world—her business, personal life, marriage, and how she balances it all. We also explore her views on spirituality, holistic health, homeopathy and the mindset that drives her success.
