In Episode 5 of Migrant Munch, Vish shares her story of growing up in Sri Lanka, navigating challenges, and then moving to Australia.

From dealing with the struggles of setbacks she faced, to becoming a counsellor who now helps others heal, Vish reflects on the power of therapy, the reality of migration, and what it really means to find your way when everything feels unfamiliar.

If you’ve ever felt like therapy is a “waste” for you, so you've buried your pain and kept struggling in silence - this one’s worth a listen.

In Episode 4 of Migrant Munch, Nisal Keembiyage shares his story of moving to Australia to study medicine, and unexpectedly becoming a bit of a celebrity along the way.

From slicing brains in mice to lip syncing in the uni shuttle bus (and running through campus in a wedding dress), Nisal reflects on living between two worlds: the serious path of medicine and the joy of creating content just for the fun of it.

Whether you’ve ever juggled different sides of yourself, wanted to show up authentically, or just needed a laugh - this episode is for you.
