POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Seems so simple, but it took me a long time to learn, and it’s still a work in progress. I’m currently even trying to undo some decisions I made when I chose to listen to someone’s advice that went against my gut. But I figured they knew better than I did. They did not.

Especially in this restaurant business, the work is not for the faint of heart. You have to trust your vision, even and especially when you feel misunderstood or a little bit crazy.

It was so great talking about this and so much more with @secondlifepod. You can listen to the full episode through the link in my bio.

7 podcasts every immigrant woman should listen to.

1. @immigrantlypods
One of the best on race, identity, culture, and belonging.

Hosted by Pakistani-American activist Saadia Khan @itssaadiak

Intellectual without being heavy. Perfect for women feeling “in-between cultures.”

Topics: Intergenerational trauma, brown identity in America, career + culture conflicts.

2. Your American Dream

Created specifically for immigrant women and women of color, building careers and businesses in the US. Very practical and relatable.

Topics: Workplace culture shock, building confidence abroad, entrepreneurship, career reinvention, and preserving identity while succeeding.

3. Second Life @secondlifepod

Not immigrant-specific but extremely relevant for women reinventing themselves abroad. Features women who completely changed careers and rebuilt from scratch.

Topics: Reinvention, confidence after failure, career pivots, starting over in 30s/40s.

Immigrant women resonate deeply with this theme.

4. The Guilty Feminist @theguiltyfeminist

Not immigrant-specific, but immigrant women LOVE this.

Discusses feeling “not enough,” cultural pressure, ambition guilt, feminism vs traditional expectations.

Funny + intelligent.

5. How to Fail with @elizabday

Best podcast for rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

Immigrant women relate because moving countries comes with rejection, identity loss, starting over, and isolation. Very emotionally grounding.

6. We Can Do Hard Things

@glennondoyl’s podcast. For women navigating change, identity, relationships, and hard decisions.

Immigrant women love it for permission to struggle, evolve, and change minds.

7. Dear Sugars @dearsugars

Feels like therapy in podcast form.

Beautiful for relationship confusion, identity struggles, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.

Why do these matter:

Immigrant life is isolating. Hearing other women’s stories - especially women who understand cultural in-between, identity loss, and starting over - makes you feel less alone.

These podcasts became my audio therapy during hard days.

I listen to podcasts all day long. 🎧 💭  In the car, on long walks, while I’m doing literally anything that doesn’t require my full brain.

They feed my soul in a way scrolling never will. Real conversations, real perspective, actual guidance you can take with you.

These are the episodes I come back to over and over. The ones I replay. The ones I think about days later.

Save this for your next walk instead of opening your phone and spiraling.

WONDER IN THE WORLD: A Listen

Actually, three listens.

Three designers who inspire me.
Their origin stories, inspirations, lessons learned, in their own voices.

…I was listening to a @secondlifepod today and it got me thinking about all of the soft skills I have developed (and continue to fine tune) over the course of my career. I was lucky to have parents whose values and parenting style centered around many of the things on this list 📋

While I do believe that some high schools and colleges seemingly integrate these “soft skills” into curriculums and teachings, many of them are developed IRL…BUT nevertheless this list of just a few of many is serving as a reminder to myself as an employer and a mother that it’s never too young to start having conversations around this list 📋

Comment VIRAL and I’ll send you the very first reel that blew up my entire life.

If you’re new here, this might surprise you but I started posting during Covid. My kids were mortified. Truly horrified. I was the woman in her 50s talking to her phone, getting dressed up in the kitchen, playing with clothes like the world wasn’t on fire.

And at first? It felt selfish.
But here’s the twist.

Every time I posted, something unexpected happened… I went viral.

Not because I was trying to “blow up.”
But because I refused to shrink.

If you’ve ever wondered how this whole thing started… comment VIRAL and I’ll send you the reel that changed everything.
