  • Living Your Dream Life Starts Starts With Your Day-to-Day

    Welcome to The Dream Life Diaries podcast!

    Key Topics:

    1. The Misconception of the Dream Life.

    2. Redefining the Dream Life

    3. How to Start Living Your Dream Life Daily

    4. Mindset Shifts to Embrace

  • Why My Study Abroad in Italy Ruined My Life

    In this episode of Tell Me When, I’m sharing a personal experience about how my study abroad experience in Italy completely transformed my life—and ruined it at the same time.

    While living on the Amalfi Coast, my time in Italy awakened a new sense of wonder in me, and showed me just how much is possible in life.

    But with this awakening came a challenge: returning home to my "normal" life felt impossible. My perception of success, happiness, and fulfillment was forever altered.

    Here’s what I’ll dive into:

    • How studying abroad expanded my worldview and redefined my priorities.

    • The moments in Italy that changed my perspective on life.
    • Why it’s hard to reconcile traditional ideas of success after experiencing something so life-changing.
    • How to navigate the feeling of being stuck between two worlds.
    • Practical tips for embracing cultural shifts and integrating them into your everyday life.

    Whether you’ve studied abroad, traveled extensively, or dream of living in another country, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt their world open up and struggled to return to “reality."
