Life Between Coasts S2 E14 The Average Joe, Globally Speaking

This week on Life Between Coasts, Leah sits down with Alaa, a self-proclaimed “average Joe” whose life story is anything but average.Born in Texas, raised between the United States and Saudi Arabia, Alaa has spent decades moving between two worlds, ten years in the U.S., ten years in Saudi, and now back again. Together, we explore what it really means to belong in more than one place.Are the cultures different? Absolutely. Are the people? Maybe not as much as we think.In this calm and thought-provoking conversation, we unpack identity, family, faith, and the universal desire to build a better future for the next generation. Because at the end of the day, beyond borders, language, and land… humans are humans. Period.This episode will leave you reflecting on what truly connects us.Support the show
