This week's episode is a follow-up episode on last's week's conversation on being a third culture kid in Canada. This week I invite Darius for a conversation about his experience being born in Canada with Parents who are from Hong Kong. Darius and I discuss his experience navigating the two cultures in Montreal and his sense of belonging into a society that will make a conclusion of the person he is simply based on perspective and skin colour. 

In this week's episode, I invite my  friend Mahneet for a conversation on the experiences we have as Third Culture Kids living in Canada.  Mahneet and I discuss what it's like navigating both her Indian and Canadian cultures and fitting in without losing a sense of true self.  

Many of us who are raised in cultures that are different from that of our parents sometimes struggle with defining identify and we constantly ask ourself the question of where do we truly belong? 
Do you identify as a third culture kid? What’s your experience been like ?

We talk about navigating adulthood, getting into romantic relationships , and friendships that just gives life a new meaning, and moves us into complete  directions  than previously imagined. 

Back this week with a new episode talking all things gratitude. Gratitude is key in finding happiness through the day-to-day moments of life. I have learned that each time I spend reflecting on what I have in life, is a moment to dig deeper and nourish my mind. 

Showing gratitude for our experiences, for the people we love and all other things, can be a powerful tool in enhancing our human lives.
