Heya! In this episode, I dive into the spiritual transitioning moments—moments when you are in-between, like you are no longer aligned to the life you are living and ready to go somewhere but don't yet know what the next is going to be or looking like. Have you ever been there? If yes, this episode might spark something in you. Listen to this as I try to make sense of this purgatory phase,, aka "dark night of the soul," phase of my life.

Now that my article’s finally out I can talk about it all on this podcast.

As a brown/south Asian, growing up, I always had about this wild fantasy to live abroad, travel, speak other languages, and write about it all. But the reality I was born in was the polar opposite to my dreams that knew no limits. How shameless was my mind, to dare to go beyond what met the eye!

I’ve been ridiculed for having all these dreams that are native, overly optimistic and unrealistic many times in my life. The idea was shot down several time by the culture I grew up in, people who hated my guts to think about doing something they didn’t have the courage for, and some times by the harsh reality of the world, the economy, politics at play. I’m convinced that I’m here not to live by the rules. I’m here to bend them. So I’m going to live my life unapologetically. Ruthlessly, chasing my wild dreams. Hope you enjoy this episode!

Soo.. I am gonna turn the big 30 in a few weeks. Yikes. I am a big girl now! With my age there are so many expectations and cultural nuances attached to the idea of being a 30 year old single woman. Welp. However, I am not a big fan of adhering to the values set by the world. I have always danced to my own beat, and I come from a family of unconventional relationships so I am not the one to settle just because. In this episode, I talk about what an alternative life would look like in an ideal world if I don't meet the love of my life, a soulmate I can grow old with. There's no point settling down just for the sake of it. I may be on the wrong here but hey... I beg to differ!
