Life Of Dar

Hamptons, Delaware, Dar is everywhere! My first New England summer adventure... This week's guest is one of my favorite people, Jordy B. Plot twist: I was her sorority big, but somehow we've become even closer after graduation than we ever were in college. From me crashing her Florida spring break, to visiting her hometown, to somehow already having Fourth of July traditions together, this...

I'm joined by my friend-turned-roommate Jolie as we officially enter our Upper East Side era. From how we met and ended up living together in NYC to post-grad, job hunting, and how New York has completely changed our outlook on life (and men), we're covering it all. Plus, we're spilling on the current roster: Raya, Artist Boy, Mr. Big, and a few other characters who probably shouldn&#3...

A topic that is has been a part of me since I could speak! I am so happy to share this episode with a growing artist here in NYC, Nate Dailey, where we both share our love for the art, why we do it, and of course- Nate gives me commentary on my search for love in NYC.

Cue the Birthday Song. Its Birthday Debrief time- the one episode per season that makes you question if I will ever stop celebrating my birthday for the whole month. (no!) The saying goes, 'New York or Nowhere' but I would be lying if I said I didn't miss home. A new chapter awaits. [I need an engineer fr for my headphone listeners]

Episode 3 of Season 4 is a family affair as my cousin Kelly joins me for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation on finding your home away from home. From Argentina wine country to Boca Raton billionaires, we unpack travel chaos, cultural discoveries, dating disasters, and why life always seems more glamorous when you’re passing through. Kelly brings her journalist eye, podcast host energy, and beh...

Wall Street —an episode about chaos, cash, and learning the hard way that New York will still be there tomorrow. From girls’ dinners and Michigan memories to questionable spending habits (yes, almost $3K in three weeks… call me insane), we unpack what’s actually worth it in your 20s, travel, fashion, or just surviving with groceries. With a little finance advice, a lot of bad decisions, and some p...

JUST DO IT! I moved to the city of my dreams and beat all odds against me. I share the story on how I came here with 5 professional network connections to 45 in just one month; from shooting BTS at New York Fashion Week, invited to album listening parties, and interviewing for more than 8 new positions.. anything is possible if you just get yourself to do it.

Everyone loved him in episode “2 man” so I brought back my good friend Yanis, for the season 3 finale. As much as I thought I’d be more reflective in this episode— I can’t help the truth; it’s been an exciting time hanging out with my different prospects in the Bay and Yanis and I talk about predictions for my behavior in NYC. From boy group drama to life as a medical assistant— there’s no telling...

My guest was in the delivery room when I was born, and no she is not my mother… she’s my best friend who’s navigated the Bay Area with me since ‘03, Persian twin, and someone who we pass our roster back and forth with. (Totally kidding?) Almaden V.S. Cupertino

Your favorite Silicon Valley born and raised girls who are proving stereotypes wrong day by day! Welcome my guest Ananya who may be the only reason I passed french in middle school AND high school. From partying in Purdue together (I didn’t even go there) and now living on our own in big new cities, we dive into what most Bay Area Mixers WON’T.

Meet my business partner, Elise, before Life of Dar there was "On the phone, with Elise and Dar". While I was gone to Arizona, She has been RUNNING the Bay Area streets! So far, she is the only guest that has been friends with me for over 12 YEARS! Hear every phase of dar and you'll start to realize that I have always been... (Episode 9 as we figure out how to get episode 8 into audi...

You are in fact hearing double. Welcome my sister Sarah, to the pod! The one who laid it down for me before I created my own storyline. Even though we are 17 years apart, we still share so many similar interests such as gossip on guys, starting our own businesses, bay area party scenes, and more! Don't know how our dad handled us twins.

Episode 6!!! I'm moving to New York- my 3 week hiatus underwent some fun holiday changes, such as finally dropping the ball and making my move across the country. I also decided to mega side quest and audition for 'The Voice'(I'm in season 25 already in the audience)! And as always, I shot my shot at some and landed in success; just shoot your shot, even if they're a decade old...

I went back to where it all started... The University of Arizona! I have my little and best friend, Jordyn, from "I went to the Grammy's" to recap my homecoming weekend. It's always a good time here.

Happy Halloween! The transformation is real, from throwing my own halloween party to realizing how much I’ve grown through rejection, reflection, and a little chaos through and LOT of google calendar scheduling. This week, I’m diving into how I accidentally scheduled a transformation. From SF tech events to line dancing and saying “bye” to boys (for now), it’s been a ride. Growth, chaos, and glitt...

I have officially deleted the apps after I went on 3 dates in less than 48 hours... and your favorite '2 Man' is here to discuss it all with me. My brother's, I should say, dive into the reality of being a kid growing up in Cupertino and wanting to make their immigrant parents proud, my therapist telling me how all my problems would be solved by men?!, and shooting my shot at a San Jose Sharks pla...

I went to UC Davis?? Three friends, *two* mics, and zero sense of direction. My creative bestie and my engineer friend reunite for what can only be described as a post-grad fever dream: $150 worth of psychic readings, an Asia travel debrief, my soft launch away from men, and a hard launch into not caring what anyone thinks. Basically, it’s therapy—just louder.

SEASON 3 IS HERE AND IT IS HERE TO STAY! Get ready for a new and evolved dar, sharing her wisdom of life outside of a routine of class, greek parties, and sleepless nights in Tucson... to sleepless nights in the Bay Area. Why may that be? Listen to catch up.

I'm graduating. And this is the season finale of season 2.. How far we've come!! In this episode, I reflect on my journey as Vice President of the Business School at the University of Arizona — joined by a fellow Business Student Council member and friend, Bella, as we talk about our favorite memories, lessons learned, and yes... the behind-the-scenes drama that came with the role. If you’ve ever...

In this birthday debrief, I recap the chaos and glam of turning 22 — from renting a party bus to going wine tasting in style, and even getting surprised when I least expected it. Tune in as I break down how I somehow ended up with eight celebrations (yes, eight), the best and worst moments, and what I’ve learned about friendship, planning, and letting go of expectations. If you're a fan of ext...

Let's talk music! I brought my good friend, Soleill, onto today's episode. Soleill has her own radio show called "Pretty Girls Luv Hip Hop", and is an aspiring Music Agent. We met from day one here at The UofA and share many music-related stories and memories. We talk ALL things music... You won't want to miss this.

Get to know all the real dirty secrets of what goes on with me and my crew! I have my best friends Emma and Trevor who have made my experience at the UofA 100x better. Emma, who was my reason for coming here and Trevor, who has been my partner in crime for the past year. Oh! And of course, and birthday preview.

It's all coming to an end... no, not the podcast yet, but my years of schooling, structure, and all the silly things in between. Of course I can bring that energy with me as I enter into this unknown and new chapter, though I dive into some things we, seniors, don't talk about. Senioritis, and all that comes with it. Filming bits to come on lifeofdar.com or @daryaabtahii.

3 Weeks MIA... Where have I been?! In this episode I dive into my last spring break as a college student in Cancun, enrolling myself into a state-wide case competition in which I got into some funny business, and doing a call-in segment asking my friends the big question; 'Why can't I find love?' Happy spring.

I took two shots of espresso before today’s episode… that should explain a lot. #solopod Run down of my recent weekend trip to San Diego and partying with ex-musically star “Bruhitszach” and my struggles with something..👀
