    13. Building Confidence as a Minority w/ Mariam
    Jun 24 2023
    Struggling with building confidence? Me too! But I am lucky to be surrounded with friends who I am inspired by their self-love and confidence. ✨This episode is special because I interviewed my good friend Mariam about how she built confidence when she moved to the US from the Ivory Coast. We have a similar upbringing in a non-diverse community in Utah, but she shares her personal stories about growth. Hope you enjoy this episode! 🫶🏽

    10. US Immigration story & academic stress in Korea w/ Rachel
    Mar 14 2023
    Welcome back to another episode where I chat with my good friend Rachel about academic stress in Korea. We discuss how performing well academically was apart of our identity in an Asian and Asian-American household & how we have learned to deal with failure as adults. Also Rachel shares her immigration story to America and how she attended community college as a 19 year-old without being able to fluently speak English (she was able to read and write). She's openly shares how she figured out how to overcome fear to navigate American cultural norms and establishing her life here in the US.  As always, I hope you enjoy this episode as I explore different issues in the Asian-American community.
