Hey All, 

This is a solo episode where I deep dive into my experience applying to colleges in the US, how I chose to go to the University of Minnesota, my perspective on being a 'non-resident alien' in the US especially considering the current administration and my advice for anyone thinking of applying to college.

So so excited to publish this episode with Ankita, who was one of the people featured on Indian Matchmaking - a show that has been trending all across the world and I personally have been obsessed with.  I sat down with Ankita to talk about her experience being on the show, how she plans on using her platform to ignite change and what its like owning a clothing brand with her sister! 

Ankita is as sweet, humble and AMAZING in real life as she is on the show. Please leave a review on Apple Podcasts if you enjoyed this episode.

Trigger Warning: Depression, suicidal thoughts

Hello! Today, I chat with Poonum Desai, who is the author of Sincerely, Life. Poonum talked extensively about her college experience, post grad struggles and mental health. We cover a lot of things from how you can find things that give you joy to applying for jobs in this time when the supply of job seekers is larger than the demand from employers. Poonum also talks about her book Sincerely, Life to encourage readers to build the life they want not what others told them to want.
