On this episode - I answer another DM from Instagram, a follower messaged me asking about whether living abroad and pursuing a dream that only she can see is considered selfish. And how societal pressures are causing her to feel guilty about not serving her nation and that she should be focused on making an impact in her own country, Kuwait.. BUT I really think impact is varying, and can happen in many ways. Just because you're not somewhere physically that doesn't mean your work has no impact on that place.
