Is Work-Life Balance A Total Myth?
Communications strategist and storyteller Aida Al Busaidy wonders if it is possible to truly have a work-life balance Just the other day, Shonda Rhimes popped up on my Explore feed on Instagram. The American television producer and mother-of-two was giving a speech on how working mums always have to put on a balancing act. When asked how she manages to do it all, she responded: 'Whenever you see me succeeding in one area of my life, just know that another one is failing.' This struck a chord with me. Honestly, she couldn't have replied to that question any better. We can try to be do-it-all kind of people, but it comes at a cost. There's a trade-off that we, as mums who also have careers, make daily. Her statement resonates with us all, because it is based on choices that we have made—and can make—to work, grow and contribute. During a recent Bazaar Arabia event at Dubai's Marsa Boulevard, a similar question was posed to me, but in terms of the career choice I had made. The honour of serving my country by working in government means I am able to give back to my nation and the leaders who fight day and night to make the UAE a great place to live, work and visit. Additionally, my exposure to new things, places and people—par of the course given my role—means my children get major bragging rights when they get to hang out with their favourite celebrities, try out just-opened spots in the city or be the first to tick off new experiences. We also have a lot to talk about after a long day at work and school. The beautiful thing about having a focus outside the home is the satisfaction of being connected and integral to other processes. You utilise skills learned during that four-year university degree you worked hard to get. The independence—both financial and creative—is immense. My realisation? Independent women raise independent children. So how do I do it? I'm stricter—and better—with time management. I focus on the quality of time spent with my kids rather than the quantity. But the truth is that yes, I have missed football matches, forgotten to register for a school trip, or been 15 minutes late in picking them up. I have given them more screen time that I would like because I had early morning meetings or late-night calls, or was at an event that dragged on. I have been on guilt trips—often initiated by others who really have no business in getting involved but amplify my self doubt. Still, I am grateful for the good, the bad and the inconsequential because it makes me human. It also helps my children understand that in every area—home or work—my best on that day is already at 100 per cent, even if I haven't ticked off every task or made it on time to every appointment. When it matters and where it counts, I am there.

Saucy 2010s Political Thriller Returns to Netflix After Five-Year Hiatus
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After five years off the platform, a saucy political thriller is making a surprise comeback to Netflix. Set against the backdrop of Washington, D.C., the series follows a high-powered fixer entangled in scandal, secrets, and a dangerously complicated relationship with the president. Scandal, known for its rapid pacing, melodramatic turns, and signature monologues, originally aired in the 2010s and quickly became a defining entry in the primetime drama landscape. Created by one of TV's most prolific showrunners, it will return in full to Netflix U.S. on June 17, giving new and returning viewers a chance to binge every episode. Originally airing from 2012 to 2018, Scandal was headlined by Kerry Washington, who led a cast that included Henry Ian Cusick, Columbus Short, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, and Guillermo Díaz. With 124 episodes, it built a cult following thanks to its blend of political intrigue and soapy, high-stakes drama. The central character, a former White House Communications Director turned crisis manager, navigates the darkest corners of Beltway power while managing a deeply fraught personal life. Scandal, the fast-paced political thriller created by Shonda Rhimes, returns to Netflix on June 17 after a five-year hiatus. Scandal, the fast-paced political thriller created by Shonda Rhimes, returns to Netflix on June 17 after a five-year hiatus. AP Photo Produced by Shondaland and created by Shonda Rhimes, the show helped define Rhimes' signature style: fast dialogue, explosive twists, and emotionally charged character arcs. It quickly earned praise from critics and audiences alike, winning multiple awards and consistently ranking as one of Rhimes' most beloved productions Why Did Scandal Leave Netflix? Scandal first joined Netflix in 2014 with its initial three seasons, followed by annual additions through 2018. When its license expired in May 2020, it was removed from the streamer. Its reappearance this summer bucks a 2025 trend that has seen fewer older licensed titles returning to Netflix U.S. Though its new licensing window hasn't been disclosed, similar deals have ranged from one to three years. Scandal's availability on Hulu, where it continues to stream under a separate agreement, will remain unaffected. What Happens Next? The return of Scandal isn't the only headline for Shonda Rhimes' empire. Grey's Anatomy, now entering its 21st season, is also set to arrive on Netflix in June. Meanwhile, Bridgerton continues its dominance, with Season 4 expected in 2026 and additional installments on the way. Viewers eager for strategy and a touch of seduction will find everything waiting when Scandal lands back on Netflix on June 17. Its comeback offers a fresh chance to revisit the chaos—a glass of red wine in hand.

Trump lambasts management of Washington's Kennedy Center
US President Donald Trump is the first president to sit as chairman of the Kennedy Center. (AP pic) WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump lambasted the former leadership of the Kennedy Center yesterday, saying the renowned Washington cultural institution's days of 'rampant political propaganda' were over since he personally took the reins. 'When I said, I'll do this, I hadn't been there,' Trump told the new members of the center's board, who gathered at the White House. 'It's the last time I'll take a job without looking at it,' he joked before saying 'tremendous amounts of money' were spent there over the last 10 years but the building was in 'dire shape'. Shortly after returning to office in January, Trump dismissed several longstanding members of the board, after which new members installed the president as chairman in February. That prompted several key figures, including TV producer Shonda Rhimes and musician Ben Folds, to resign from their leadership positions. A historically bipartisan-supported institution, the Kennedy Center has never been led by a US president before. 'The building was falling apart. In addition, the programming was out of control with rampant political propaganda, DEI and inappropriate shows,' Trump said before criticizing LGBTQ programming. The Republican's gripes did not end there, as Trump reiterated unsubstantiated accusations that opponents had 'rigged the election' he lost. He added that foes would not credit him for claims he was instrumental in bringing the Olympics and the World Cup to the US. 'And then I said, you know what I'll do? I'll run again, and I'll shove it up their ass. And that's what I did,' Trump said to applause and laughter. 'If they would have left this alone and wouldn't have cheated on the election and wouldn't have rigged, I'd be retired right now,' Trump said. 'I would have been happily doing something else. Instead they have me for four more years.' Secretary of state Marco Rubio, US attorney general Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles were among the guests.
