People emigrate for so many different reasons. For many, its the prospect of 'a better life' in another country. Naturally then, those who leave for a better life are filled with optimism, but are often blindsided by the realities of adjusting to life in this new place.

To be successful as an immigrant, you have to be able to let go of your past life and allow yourself to fully embrace the different life you now have in a new place. If you cling to the life you once had, you will never fully adjust or integrate into your new country.

Millions of people all over the world find themselves as Immigrants in a new land. Not enough is spoken about the real struggles people face when leaving their home countries and having to rebuild their lives in a foreign land or culture - as an outsider.

I started this podcast for this very reason - to talk about the reality of processing change and reframing identities that comes with the immigration journey. My prayer is that those who listen would find hope and healing in the stories shared.

COMING SOON - the 'My Immigration Journal' Launch!!!

Do you find yourself unable to fill the void in your heart - the longing for the things you left behind, and wonder how you could ever successfully rebuild your life and find contentment? Are you simply struggling to adjust, are tired of feeling sad, and desperate to find a supportive community to help you on your journey?

If so, I want you to know that you are not alone!
