#29 Elizabeth & Dalal Shahid: Two Sisters, Two Worlds, One Story

Send us Fan Mail In this heartfelt conversation, sisters Elizabeth and Dalal Shahid share their deeply personal journey as second-generation Lebanese-Palestinian American women navigating life between two worlds. Raised in Alabama, they reflect on their grandparents’ courageous decision to leave their homeland in the early 1960s, the cultural richness they carried with them, and the challenges of reconciling traditional Arab gender role expectations with modern American life. As licensed marriage and family therapists, Elizabeth and Dalal discuss how their professional paths were shaped by their cultural heritage, the power of education, and their grandmother’s unwavering belief in its importance for Arab immigrant families. Together, they explore the identity struggles, career milestones, and generational values that have defined their lives—while offering heartfelt advice to young Arab women seeking opportunity and independence in the U.S. Connect with Elizabeth & Dalal: 🌐 Website: YourStoryTherapyLLC.com 📸 Instagram: @Your_Story_Therapy_LLC 📘 Facebook: Your Story Therapy, LLC 🎵 TikTok: @Your_Story_Therapy_AL Support the show Stay Connected and Join the Conversation!
