The Accented World Podcast

Do you remember the day when you moved to a new place? How about moved to a new country? I bet it wasn’t easy to settle down, figure out the new culture, make new friends, or find a job. That happens to a lot of immigrants moving abroad, especially women. It can be a very lonely journey, leaving behind the place you used to call home. Most immigrants have to restart their lives when they do. It’s very hard, especially if they don’t speak the language.

My guest today, Nyna Caputi, also had a difficult time finding her community when she first moved to the US from India. It was so hard for her in fact, that she started her business the Expat woman, hoping to create a community. She ended up creating a social enterprise that helps to inspire, connect, and empower immigrant and native-born women across the globe through online and offline events, networking opportunities, and valuable resources and content.

With over 12,000 members, they have hosted over 250 workshops, conferences, hackathons, webinars, career fairs, and networking events. On top of that, Nyna is a filmmaker, blogger, advocate, and speaker on gender violence, startups, leadership, cross-cultural skills, diversity, and expat life. She is also the winner of the ‘Global Influencer 2019’ award from Women Empowerment Awards North America.

In today’s episode, Nyna shares about her struggles finding a community when she moved to the United States, what inspired her to find the Expat Woman, how she scaled her business to make 6 figures, her advice for new entrepreneurs, and her 3 “P” mantra. Tune in now to hear her empowering story.

My guest on the show today is the uber-talented photographer extraordinaire Amy Boyle. I loved having her on the show and immediately felt like we had a connection. Have you ever felt this way, like you’ve made a fast friend, just because of how much your energy aligned? Well, that’s how I felt! Amy’s energy is captivating and her mission to share inspiring profiles of phenomenal women is incredibly powerful. Amy created the project 52 Phenomenal Women, to highlight the phenomenal women in our communities. Her initial plan was to feature the project for 52 weeks but due to the popular response, Amy extended it for another year and perhaps beyond. Via the project, she was able to donate over 7000$ to Dress for Success, an amazing company who’s mission is to offer long-lasting solutions that enable women to break the cycle of poverty. I think Amy herself is a phenomenal woman and I am beyond thrilled to have her on the show today. Stay tuned to hear out chat.

My guest on the show today is Fadia Abdouni. She’s a first-generation Brazilian, and a daughter to Lebanese immigrants. After finishing dental school training in Brazil, she moved to the US to specialize in oral and maxillofacial surgery. She decided on her career pretty early in life but never imagined it wouldn’t be a career she retired with. 

After 12 years of work as an oral surgeon, Fadia felt like the work she was doing wasn’t aligned with her soul. She then made a very scary but liberating decision to become a professional coach, an energy worker, and a meditation teacher. She has always known she was extremely gifted in energy work, but she never dared to pursue this rather unusual career when she was younger. 

Luckily she listened to her true calling and could not be happier about the changes she has made. Her story is incredibly inspiring, especially to those who know that the career they have chosen no longer aligns with them, but are afraid to take the scary first step to bring the necessary change. Well don’t worry, Fadia will be your inspiration. Tune in now to hear her incredible story.
