Host: Hazel Ann | Her Career, Her Way

Guest: Urmi Hossain

Your identity isn’t something you “figure out” once — it’s something you intentionally design. And the more clarity you have on who you are, the more aligned your career becomes.

SUMMARY

In this episode, we dive into how identity shapes your career — and how your career, in turn, reshapes your identity.

Hazel Ann sits down with Urmi Hossain, a corporate finance professional, CFA + CAIA charterholder, author, content creator, and women’s empowerment advocate. Urmi shares how she’s built a multidimensional career across corporate finance, leadership, and personal branding — all while staying grounded in intention, adaptability, and self-expression.

From navigating cultural expectations as a Third Culture Kid to designing a career using visualization, subconscious work, and her “3 P’s” framework, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone in their 20s questioning who they are, where they’re going, and how to build a career that actually feels like them.

Built for ambitious individuals navigating the chaos of their 20s, EP 21 explores identity, ambition, and what it really means to design a career with intention — not pressure.
