info_outlineI recently had the pleasure of being a guest on The Journey Podcast with David Hackett, where we explored some of the most meaningful threads from my life and work as an immigrant, coach, and podcast host.
In this episode, I share how my own journey from Jamaica to the U.S. shaped the way I see the world, and the work I now do to support others navigating similar paths.
We dive into a rich conversation around:
- International affairs and global travel
- The emotional layers of the immigrant experience
- Mental health in immigrant communities
- Bilingualism, identity, and the beauty of language
- High- vs. low-context cultures and the stories we carry
- Spirituality, assimilation, and finding your voice in a foreign land
Whether you’re living between cultures, working across borders, or simply curious about the complexity of identity and belonging, I hope my story offers something that resonates.
🎧 Tune in and let me know what part of the conversation speaks to you most.
