What happens when you leave everything familiar to chase something unknown? In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey from Bangalore to Canada—a story of courage, culture shock, and learning to find yourself in a new country.

From the first wind-slapped airport welcome to awkward cultural moments, $6 coffees, and late-night loneliness, I reflect on the challenges and small victories of starting over. Through self-conversation, resilience, and embracing my hybrid identity, I learned how to honor my roots while integrating into a new world.

Highlights of this episode include:

• The emotional reality of moving to a new country
• Navigating loneliness and cultural differences
• Finding your identity in a “between” space
• Small but powerful moments of growth and connection
• How food, conversation, and everyday interactions shape your integration

Whether you’re about to embark on your own immigration journey or are navigating life as a newcomer, this episode is for anyone learning to embrace change, uncertainty, and growth.
