Much like anything else in life, things can take 180 turns. In this episode I talk about how important it is to recognize when you are experiencing something mentally draining, and why it is important to understand that you must trust the process.

We tend to look at healthcare workers as invincible as they are the ones with all the knowledge to help us overcome our illnesses. However, at the end of the day they're all human and do have their struggles. In this episode I am joined by Alexandra who is currently a CNA studying to become a registered nurse. We touch on the challenges of being a nurse, what it was like in the heart of covid and just dealing with mental health in general. Be sure to share this episode with others.

In this episode I had the privilege of speaking with Delmi Cornelio, a young lady from the village of Trio, whose love of sports allowed her to get to new heights. We talk about the challenges that women face in sports and the mindset that every athlete, especially student athletes, should have.

In this episode I had a conversation with Mea Dawson, who is currently studying psychology while working. Our primary focus was on the work culture in Belize and our experiences in toxic working environments and how it affected our mental health without even noticing it. It is important to realize that you need a change in scenery, and that change brings inspiration to continue growing as an individual.

In this episode I sit down and talk with Denisse (from the Honduras episode) and we discuss our perspectives on mental health. Starting with the way we looked at it based on the way we were raised, to the troubles we experienced that forced us to change that perspective. We hope this episode helps to change the way you look at it as well (if necessary) and gives you the boost to seek help when in certain situations.

From assembling guns for a class at school to paying to play basketball, find out that and more about life growing up in Vietnam, specifically that of Hanoi. I am joined by two of my friends, Katherine and Zayn, we could have talked for forever but Zoom kept on cutting is off so you guys are saved from an endless episode. Hope you have some laughs along with learning new things. 

March is known as women's month and it is only fitting that I start off the month talking about women and the things they go through. In this episode I am joined by Seidi Quetzal, a fellow Ming Chuan University graduate, and we talk about mental health, postpartum depression and period poverty. These are all topics that both males and females need to place a higher importance on. We encourage you to visit mental health clinics located at the nearest public hospital to set up an appointment or all the 0-800-MOH-CARE (0-800-664-2273) hotline for assistance.

Recently I've had moments where I've felt like an imposter as it relates to having a podcast. In this episode I have a conversation with someone that's been on the podcast before, my big cousin Vernon. We talk about not trying to do something, actually do it. We also dive into my recent imposter syndrome mode and hope that you guys that are feeling that way, figure it out as well.

In this episode I was able to get an introduction to what it is like growing up in the Caribbean island of St. Kitts & Nevis, courtesy of my friends Kareem and Ken (SkullyOSkully). Talking about growing up, the transition to Taiwan, the good and bad experiences in Taiwan and what it's like being a person of color over there.
