What does it feel like to leave behind everything you've ever known—and begin again?

My First Year in America is a new podcast from Sophia Media exploring the deeply personal stories of immigrants and the first year that changed their lives.

Through intimate conversations, our guests revisit the excitement, uncertainty, fear, discovery, and transformation of starting over in the United States. They reflect on the people they left behind, the challenges they faced, the moments that shaped them, and how that first year changed their identity, relationships, and sense of self.

Because sometimes, a single year can change everything.

My First Year in America premieres September 4.

This special episode is a sacred invocation of release, self-respect, and wholeness.
With a gentle voice and open heart, this shamanic blessing invites you to detach from the need to be completed by others and to honor the truth of your own soul. Let these words wash over you as a prayer for freedom — from expectations, from roles, from old stories. You are whole. You are divine. You are free.

Return to this blessing whenever you need to come back to yourself.

This special episode features a stirring poem by Khalil Gibran, read with reverence and heart. It is a call to wholeness, to presence, to living and loving with your full self. Don’t settle for half-versions of truth, love, or purpose. Don’t live half a life. You are meant to show up fully — in your words, your silence, your work, your life.

Let these words bring clarity, strength, and courage as you return to your whole being. 

This soft and luminous episode is a reminder that you are still, and always have been, a beloved child in the eyes of the Divine. No matter your age, your pain, or your past — there is a part of you that is forever pure and whole. You are held in the embrace of every tree, every breeze, every bird song. Let yourself soften. Let yourself be loved. Let this morning be your return to that eternal embrace. 

This episode is a reading of “America, I Sing Back” by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke — a sweeping love poem to country, land, and the collective memory of Indigenous people.

With raw voice and soul-deep resonance, this reading is a reverent offering to all the inhabitants of this land who love America deeply and profoundly — and who remember, grieve, and honor all that it holds.

Wherever you are, listen with your whole heart.

When was the last time someone told you — you are innocent? This tender and healing episode is your invitation to return to the truth of your soul. You are not defined by past mistakes, by other people’s stories, or by the heaviness of guilt. You were born from love. You are light. You are still good. Let this be the morning you meet yourself without suspicion, and remember that you were always worthy of trust, tenderness, and care. 

This special episode is a meditation on readiness, awakening, and inner truth. Featuring the poem "Prepare the Way" by Danna Faulds, this bonus episode invites you to become fertile ground for transformation. When we till the soil of our lives with honesty, patience, and courage, we create space for divine revelation to rise. Let this moment be one of reflection, release, and radical self-expression. You are the field. You are the artist. You are the light.
