68m

This episode features a unique lady with a wild resume abroad.  Not only was Rana born an expat, (yes, that's right) but she's been living in Dubai for almost 20 years as one.  A yogi, a wonderful conversationalist, a thinker, a humble soul with a beautiful outlook on life.  I'm sure women listening to this will gain a lot of strength from her story.  Please enjoy!
