What if the life you built was only training for the life you’re meant to live?

Padmini Pandya joins us to trace a life shaped across continents and identities, born in the UK to East African Indian parents, rooted in Hindu tradition, and transformed by a decade in Asia, before corporate burnout cracked open an entirely different path.

A modern-day polymath, Padmini is a storyteller, strategist, and soulful creator. Through Pieces of Miss Mini, she shares stories, lessons, and beauty from her global journey, defying any single definition of identity. She holds four degrees, including an MBA from INSEAD and a Master’s in Industrial & Organizational Psychology.

In this conversation, we explore how success can quietly become an identity, why leaving a city that doesn’t fit can unlock momentum, and what it takes to rebuild when grief doesn’t have a name. Padmini speaks candidly about intuition, loss, spiritual practice grounded in logic, managing big energy, and cultivating aligned friendships—without falling into comparison.

For creators and leaders navigating burnout, reinvention, or a longing for belonging, this episode offers clarity, courage, and a reminder to tend your own garden.

¿Qué tal si lo más difícil de aprender inglés no fuera la gramática, sino la vergüenza? En este episodio hablamos con Erika Warner, profesora de inglés certificada con 10 años de experiencia y, sobre todo, inmigrante latina orgullosa, con la misión de educar y empoderar a su gente. Pasó de ser estudiante de ESL en Denver a enseñar por el mundo y crear Spanish Land en Boise, además de inglés pa' mi gente, cursos y clases online increíbles para apoyar a adultos que se sienten estancados.

Su historia recorre de Mallorca a Moscú e Idaho y muestra cómo la identidad, la comunidad y los pequeños logros diarios pueden transformar la voz de cualquier aprendiz. Erika explica por qué tantos adultos se quedan atrapados en “la etapa difícil del medio” y cómo avanzar con frases simples, comunicación clara y correcciones que cuidan la dignidad.

Una conversación para quienes quieren dejar el perfeccionismo atrás y empezar a sentir progreso: pedir un café sin nervios, hacer una pregunta en el trabajo, atreverse a hacer una llamada. Comunicación primero, constancia después y el resto llega solo.

Pa' mi gente - Erika Warner
