In this episode, I speak with Leah, a mom, entrepreneur, and personality coach based in Singapore about her experience traveling from Malaysia to Singapore every day to attend school, and how the fear and punishment based education system impacted her relationship with making mistakes. I wanted to understand how Leah’s perspective attending school in Singapore, a country that is often touted for its amazing education system, affected her life and career trajectory, and how it influences how she parents and educates her own children now.

In this episode, I speak with Sabreen, a writer, podcast producer, and therapist for autistic children—about how her early interests in how human brains worked, along with her family’s high expectations of her while growing up in Sudan impacted her academic trajectory when she ultimately immigrated to Canada.

In this episode, I speak with Raymond, the country manager of an international non profit called Christian Mission–about the influence the economic status of our country has on our educational systems, and why certain skills are necessary to obtain to ensure a stable career.
