    Ep. 12: I Don’t Deserve to Dream This Big, Featuring Shaesta Waiz
    Oct 7 2025
    From an Afghan refugee camp to the skies above every continent, Shaesta Waiz shattered barriers as the youngest woman to fly solo around the world in a single-engine aircraft. But before she could take flight, she had to confront the lie that she didn’t deserve to dream big. In this powerful conversation, Lilo interviews Shaesta about breaking free from cultural constraints, the courage to redefine identity, and finding purpose in advocacy for women and girls left behind in Afghanistan.

    In this episode:

    Who is Shaesta Waiz?
    An Afghan-American pilot who, in 2017, became the youngest woman to circumnavigate the globe solo in a single-engine plane. She founded Dreams Soar to inspire and resource the next generation in aviation and STEM.

    What “ego lie” did she believe?
    “I don’t deserve to dream this big.” Growing up between Afghan traditions at home and American culture at school, she internalized limits about what a girl “should” do.

    What shaped that belief?
    A strict, traditional household, limited role models, language barriers, and community pressure not to “draw attention.” Her mother encouraged possibility; her father valued practicality—creating both support and constraint.

    How did she discover aviation?
    On a first solo commercial trip as a young adult, the takeoff moment “unlocked” possibility. The cockpit became a place free of judgment where only skill and focus mattered.

    What is Dreams Soar?
    A nonprofit she launched to pair her global flight with on-the-ground outreach for students—turning a record attempt into a purpose-driven mission.

    What was the Athens orphanage moment?
    Many kids—refugees—weren’t moved by aviation talk. She sat in a circle, listened, and met Sara, a Farsi-speaking Afghan girl newly separated from her mother. Speaking in Farsi, Shaesta explained what was happening and stayed until Sara felt safe—realizing her mission was about people first, inspiration second.

    Did she make it to Afghanistan?
    Yes—via commercial flight (insurance wouldn’t cover GA), coordinated with the UN. Hundreds of Afghan girls welcomed her. She also reunited with her father, who—proudly—helped translate and celebrate her journey.

  • Ep. 11: I Know What I Want, Featuring Dr. Graham Norris

    Ep. 11: I Know What I Want, Featuring Dr. Graham Norris
    Sep 23 2025
    Futurist and leadership expert Dr. Graham Norris joins host Lilo Armandie explore how to make better decisions under uncertainty. Learn practical ways to overcome perfectionism, overachievement, and feeling overwhelmed. Drawing on research, global experience, and his own pivots, Graham shows how imagination (not prediction) helps us navigate uncertainty, make better decisions, and design futures that actually fit who we are. If you’ve ever climbed a ladder only to wonder why it feels empty, this conversation will help you step forward with curiosity instead of fear.

    Q: Who is the guest?
    Dr. Graham Norris is an award-winning futurist, keynote speaker, and leadership expert. He’s advised leaders at Intel, Microsoft, and Adidas on how to think clearly about tomorrow.

    Q: What’s the “lie” explored in this episode?
    The belief that you must know exactly what you want—or predict every outcome—before you can move forward. Graham calls this the “lie of certainty.”

    Q: What topics are discussed?
    • Why perfectionism, overachievement, and overwhelm keep high performers stuck
    • How to use imagination (not prediction) to navigate uncertainty
    • Decision-making traps: analysis paralysis, arrival fallacy, and too many choices
    • Lessons from aviation, medicine, and psychology about learning from mistakes
    • Balancing planning and flexibility when life or work goes off the rails
    • Aligning goals with personal values as they evolve over time
    Q: What will listeners learn?
    You’ll learn practical tools to:
    • Build “future confidence” instead of chasing impossible certainty
    • Ask what’s truly important to you and design steps toward it
    • Replace fear of being wrong with curiosity, experimentation, and growth
    Q: Who should listen?
    Leaders, professionals, and anyone rethinking success or feeling stuck between options will benefit from Graham’s insights.

  • Ep. 10: We Want the Best & the Brightest

    Ep. 10: We Want the Best & the Brightest
    Sep 9 2025
    Space Force Guardian and rocket scientist Col. Bree Fram joins Lilo for a candid conversation about service, leadership, and the myth of meritocracy. Bree traces a 23-year career of deployments, command, and showing up authentically—then reckons with an executive policy shift that branded loyal service members as “problems,” sidelining talent in the name of politics. Together they unpack institutional betrayal, what real readiness requires, why vulnerability makes better leaders, and what’s at stake when a nation tells devoted people they no longer belong.

    Who is Bree Fram (she/her)?
    Bree Fram is an astronautical engineer, author, podcaster, speaker, and active-duty colonel in the United States Space Force. She is currently on administrative leave, pending separation due to Presidential policy regarding transgender people at the end of 2025. In her final assignment she was stationed at the Pentagon where she developed the requirements for future Space Force capabilities.

    Are transgender troops a security concern?
    No. Decades of service and multiple studies show transgender service members meet the same standards of readiness, leadership, and deployability as any other troops. Courts and military data confirm there is no evidence of unique security risks. In fact, serving authentically often strengthens trust, cohesion, and performance within units.
