info_outlineI recently had the honor of being interviewed by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown on The Carry On Friends Podcast, where we explored the nuanced reality of what it means to live and lead, as a third culture immigrant.
In this conversation, I shared how my journey shaped the way I navigate identity, culture shock, parenting, and boundaries in both personal and professional spaces.
We spoke about the mental and emotional toll of existing between cultures and the quiet pressure so many of us feel to shrink or silence ourselves just to fit in.
We also discussed what it means to redefine success on your own terms and the courage it takes to stay rooted in your values while adapting to a new environment.
Whether you’re navigating life abroad, raising children in a culture different from your own, or figuring out how to honor your identity while building a career, this one’s for you.
🎧 Tune in and let me know what resonates most with your journey.
