Embark on a heartfelt journey of resilience, adaptation, and self-discovery as I share my personal experience of moving to Canada as an international student in 2018. From studying media strategies and advertising to facing job search struggles during the pandemic, my path was filled with challenges. But through it all, I found strength in community, networking on LinkedIn, and overcoming imposter syndrome.

In this episode, I sit down with Dilyana to discuss the immigrant experience in Canada, from cultural shocks and language barriers to embracing new traditions like poutine and maple syrup ice candies. We reflect on the power of curiosity, the importance of building trust and community, and even share fun insights—like what superpower we’d choose to help others.

Join us as we explore what it truly means to find belonging in a new country, celebrate Canada’s diversity, and encourage listeners to stay inspired, adapt, and make a difference in their own way.
