Bernadette Cochonat’s journey is astonishing.

 And we got stuck in to all of it;

Growing up in a bi-lingual home as an only child, and how she can empathise with Chinese students dealing with the pressure that brings.

Moving to China at age 21 and how she managed to succeed in a completely alien environment.

The build up to the Beijing Olympics and how that period changed the world.

How the pollution got so bad in China that it officially went off the scale.

The tragic loss of her father, and the guilt she feels about it.

How her cultural awareness program at Unite Students is helping others draw on her experience of integrating into another culture.

As always, I asked Bernadette to recommend a future guest, and she nominated Vicky Zhang from uHomes, we look forward to recording an episode with you soon Vicky.
