Hey everyone!!

It's been a while since I have done a solo episode. This one is a little long and I did ramble a bit, haha but I hope you enjoy it! I shared life after college and how that journey has been for me - from career changes to self-love. Life has been pretty good despite its challenges, especially the recent increase in racist acts towards the AAPI community. I share my thoughts about it but I hope this episode serves as a little getaway while reminding you that love in all its forms can truly weed out hate.

Do you need to get inspired? 

Karen Swyszcz is a Filipino-Canadian who believed that the 9-5 was going to be it for her. It all changed when she started MakintheBacon, a blog to help others. It became a growing opportunity for her to build her own digital space. It then led to other endeavors which include Kabigan Connection, which was founded to help uplift other young Filipino entrepreneurs. Although it seems limited to Filipinos, it's not! Karen believes in going after what you want for your life, and ignore those who are going to judge you no matter what. If you like what you're reading, listen in!
