from Epic Vision Zone with Jane Applegath · host Jane Applegath
Leaving northern Iraq wasn’t just about escaping war—it was choosing a new life.Landing on U.S. soil wasn’t starting from scratch; it was rewriting a story. The journey wasn’t easy. Embracing the unknown, navigating a new culture, language barriers, and limited experience as a young civil engineer took bravery and strength. It was a bold step toward a brighter future.Three decades later, that decision is a testament to resilience, courage, and the pursuit of dreams.

Her journey took her from war-torn Iraq to the United States.This wasn’t just a relocation, it was a rebirth. What she carried with her wasn’t just resilience, it was a relentless belief that reinvention is always possible, no matter where you begin.Today, as an engineer, business strategist, author, and leadership mentor Sairan helps professionals, especially women, turn life’s hardest pivots into their most powerful comebacks.
