Badass Dating Tips
The Rabia & Sana Show
03/01/24 • 47 min
In this episode, Rabia and Sana engage in a candid conversation with Dr. Nancy Lee, a distinguished Clinical Psychologist from Beverly Hills, shedding light on a compelling yet taboo topic of dating and intimacy in South Asian culture.
Dr. Nancy Lee, with extensive experience as a Clinical Psychologist and author of "Don't Sleep With Him Yet: A Badass Guide to Dating In 10 Empowering Steps," unveils the dynamics of modern romance. Her inspiration stems from years of encountering women who struggle with people-pleasing in various aspects of their lives, not just dating. People-pleasing manifests in the romantic realm with particularly painful consequences. She advocates for new norms in intimacy, as coercive sex is arguably becoming 'normalized' in mainstream dating culture.
Listen to the full episode to explore the role neurochemistry plays in our minds during dating and intimacy, and learn how embracing authenticity can lead to more fulfilling experiences in both sex and dating!

People vs Power ~ A conversation about the Israel & Palestine War
The Rabia & Sana Show
11/12/23 • 36 min
In this special episode, Rabia and Sana talk about the horrors unfolding in Gaza. We have been left speechless and we cannot grasp the profound lack of empathy and the apparent disturbing hate in our world. The devastation, and the loss of innocent lives including CHILDREN, goes beyond disheartening—it is a painful reality.
We are using our voices and our platform to bring attention to the glaring double standards by those in power. This is a call to action, urging people to awaken to the truth. Never before have we witnessed such blatant criminal activity, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, broadcasted live to millions, yet met with deafening silence.
In this critical moment, we are part of a movement demanding #change. We refuse to accept further oppression and will not stand by as the people of Palestine suffer in silence. It is time to hold our leaders accountable, demanding an immediate end to this genocide #ceasefirenow.
Join us in making a difference. We all possess a voice that can create change, especially when are UNITED. Let us amplify our collective call for justice, stand against injustice, and work together to ensure a future where such atrocities are not tolerated. The time for change is now.
Listen to the full episode to hear how we can do this TOGETHER.

Rabia & Sana's Jab We Met Story (**How We Met)
The Rabia & Sana Show
03/20/23 • 10 min
This is the story of how Rabia and Sana met each other and joined forces to begin their podcast “The Rabia and Sana Show” about reinventing cultural norms.
Their meeting was random but the passion for their purpose to empower, educate and uplift South Asians was not.
They formed an instant bond connecting for hours over chai and their stories with a progressive outlook on life. Their choices and circumstances were completely opposite and at different times, yet the similarities were uncanny. They both succumbed to cultural norms and family traditions —one conforming, while the other escaping. They ended up sacrificing their goals and dreams and lost themselves in the process.
Their exchange was filled with understanding and relatability and they concurred that there must be many people who feel like they did and decided to open up about their stories, lessons, and learnings, for misfits and underrepresented through a podcast.
