In this episode, I interview Alexandria Brizzi ––a leading marketing consultant, baklava baker, traveler, and a woman with Italian roots yet who speaks better Farsi than I do. In this episode, we discuss the moments leading up to her decision to quit her job and a two week vacation that turned into two months of self-discovery in Turkey. We discuss work-life balance, the courage to make change, the value of family bonds, finding love, the warmth of kind strangers, being guarded v. open, mental health, the power of choice, traveling solo as a woman, misconceptions of the Middle East, and living authentically.
