To My Daughter...

10-30% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Yet, it's a topic that we don't really talk about. When I went through it, it was sad, and traumatic. I didn't know what to expect, and how to prepare for it...and,  I was poorly informed by my doctor. So, let's start talking openly about it! 

-  I'll start by sharing my story.

In this episode, I share 2 stories that - in the grand scheme of things- may seem insignificant. However, they have greatly affected me as a business woman. 

Sometimes, especially if you're a woman, you can be unsure if you've been discriminated against..OR..if it's just all in your head. Regardless of what it is, I think it's important to have a conversation about it.

Hello!

In this episode, I share the experience of moving back home from Singapore, to Norway. And, how it was to move back in with my parents...YES- at the age of 28, I had to live with my parents after having spent 4 years abroad working for Google. Check out this episode to hear why I did this.

Hola!

The title pretty much says it all =) In this episode, I talk about my experience in transitioning from google to LEGO. 

FYI: If you're wondering about what my daughter is singing in the beginning of the episode, I can reveal that she's actually singing the first sentences of the national anthem of Norway..( her version of it, at least :))...she also randomly notices a flag, which I couldn't see, but insisted that I could...

Ever wondered what a key account manager makes while working for LEGO? If yes, then this is the episode for you :)

In this episode, I talk about the interview process with LEGO, and openly share the salary negotiation process, as well as the final offer that made me leave Google.

In this episode, I go through the reasons for why Chuma and I decided to pack up our stuff and move back home to Oslo, Norway. I also share the story of how Chuma proposed :)

Warning! This is a bit of a lovey-dovey episode, because I share some thoughts on how i found out that Chuma was "the one". So, if you're not into stuff like that- then,,,, you have been warned :)

The title says it all :) 

In this episode, I talk about my experience with pig intestine, and birds nest soup, and also share the time I got food poisoning by eating old "Bánh bèo".

Also, as promised, here is a link to Americans, from the American embassy in Norway, tasting traditional Norwegian food:

In this episode, I talk about how life in Singapore was like when my- then boyfriend (now husband)  -Chuma finally moved over.

 I also talk about why some of the clients I worked with perceived me/my way of speaking Vietnamese as "cute", and how I overcame this perception.....who's in business to be cute, anyways- right? (except from babies, and puppies...)

Oh, and as promised, here's a link to the 6 levels of data center security:

In this episode I talk about how Chuma- my then boyfriend, and now husband- got a job in Singapore, my hanger (hunger + anger), and why my colleagues were laughing at my expense.

In this episode, I'll share what I actually did while working for Google in Singapore, my weird encounters with Vietnamese passport control officers, and why I own too many wrap-dresses...
