IIAS Diaries: "the Dream" w/Haylee Mroz & Jehan Shalabi

If you’ve ever felt like your dream was too wild, too far, or too much — this one’s for you.

In this episode of IIAS Diaries, I sit down with Haylee Mroz to talk about the dream — where it started, how it faded, and what brought it back to life. From hiding under a dining table pretending it was a rocket ship, to flying high-G aerobatics in a pressurized spacesuit, Haylee opens up about the quiet beginnings of her astronaut journey and the moment she finally said, “This is where I’m meant to be.”

We get into what it’s really like to chase a dream that doesn’t always make sense on paper, the turns her path has taken, and how training at IIAS helped reignite her purpose. Joined by our friend Jehan Shalabi, we dive into identity, courage, and what it means to stay grounded and true to yourself in a space world that often feels out of reach.
