Open Skies: My Life as Afghanistan's First Female Pilot by Niloofar Rahmani and Adam Sikes Publisher: Chicago Review Press (July 6, 2021) The true story of Niloofar Rahmani and her determination to become Afghanistan's first female air force pilot In 2010, for the first time since the Soviets, Afghanistan allowed women to join the armed forces, and Niloofar entered Afghanistan's military academy.

Niloofar had to break through social barriers to demonstrate confidence, leadership, and decisiveness—essential qualities for a combat pilot. Niloofar performed the first solo flight of her class—ahead of all her male classmates—and in 2013 became Afghanistan's first female fixed-wing air force pilot. The US State Department honored Niloofar with the International Women of Courage Award and brought her to the United States to meet Michelle Obama and fly with the US Navy's Blue Angels. But when she returned to Kabul, the danger to her and her family had increased significantly. Rahmani and her family are portraits of the resiliency of refugees and the accomplishments they can reach when afforded opportunities.

Karen has been on a Heroine's Journey from being too busy and overwhelmed to loving the life she has while she creates and co-creates the life of her dreams.  In her personal life, she has enjoyed good health for her age, long and happy marriage to Andy over 3 decades, and 2 healthy, well-established kids.  Yet there never seemed to be enough time or money.  She felt as though there was something more that was hers to do.  Busy had become a competitive arena, a badge of honor.  What she found is the only one truly stopping Karen was Karen.  She learned how to "flip" time to focus on meaningful activities and work.  If she can do it, you can too!  Her most recent book, FLIP TIME /  LOVE LIFE is based on this Heroine's Journey.

Lora Cheadle is an attorney turned Life Choreographer®, author, speaker, and burlesque dancer. She believes women deserve to be seen for who they are, not for what they do or who they are in relation to others. Her mission is to empower women to stop sacrificing themselves for others, settling for "just good enough" relationships, careers, or bodies, and striving being judged for everything they do, say, or wear; to get to know themselves exclusive of their labels, roles, and scripts; show themselves unapologetically for who they are; and re-choreograph the next stage of their life on their own terms – so they can live with enthusiasm, joy, and satisfaction. She is the author of FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy, & Spiritual Self and host of the FLAUNT! podcast.

We recorded an interview with Jana from the Oh, My Health...There Is Hope! podcast. The podcast is yet to be released on her platform but we hope she will release it soon? We had such an amazing time talking with her and sharing a little background about us to her audience as well as ours. She was the 5th and most memorable interview on our podcast. We both owe so much gratitude for how much she has shaped our podcast and the inspiration behind it.  After reading this local story we felt it fitting to release this co-op episode on our channel because people really need to hear it! Hope everyone enjoys listening as much as we did!
