Cutting ties with family is not just a personal choice; it's a cultural phenomenon with far-reaching consequences. We're tackling the controversial trend of going no contact, especially within the LGBTQ community, and how this practice, amplified by social media and even some psychological approaches, disrupts family harmony. Joined by insights from an Israeli psychologist and a revealing clip from MSNBC, we dissect the ideological shift that is reshaping how we handle familial and generational bonds. Our conversation anchors on viewing these challenges through a biblical perspective, recognizing our shared human frailty, and the transformative power of grace and forgiveness.Our complex world often prioritizes self-interest, leading to divisiveness that creeps into even the most faith-based communities. We share our personal stories and the joy discovered in serving others, acknowledging the cultural polarization that complicates political and religious identities. Despite sharing core beliefs, many feel isolated when political discrepancies are left unaddressed. We're advocating for humility and love as foundational values, fostering unity and open dialogue within the Christian community, and encouraging a deeper understanding of how these dynamics affect our interactions.Emotional resilience and biblical discipleship aren't just buzzwords; they're crucial tools for navigating today's parenting landscape and the fragility brought on by digital echo chambers. By examining the story of King David and his emotional candor with God, we highlight a path toward healing and maturity. Our discussion extends to the pitfalls of unchecked pride and the necessity of difficult conversations to build stronger, Christ-centered relationships. We invite you to join us on this journey of emotional and spiritual growth, where true strength is found in surrender to God's unchanging grace.Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality! TIMESTAMPS:(00:19) - The Impact of Going No Contact(12:36) - Navigating Culture and Divisiveness in Christianity(23:22) - Biblical Discipleship and Emotional Resilience(29:41) - Emotional Resilience in Christian Discipleship(40:22) - Strength Through the LordOther ways to listen:https://linktr.ee/calibrateconversations

Embark on a transformative expedition as we sit with Susan Hu, the dazzling former Miss Shanghai who traded her tiara for tranquility as a yoga and meditation teacher. In our latest episode, she opens up about her profound journey into the realm of well-being, sharing how the art of yoga and meditation became her sanctuary through the flows of life. Discover how Susan's passion for donuts has harmoniously blended with her wellness path, proving that self-care can indeed come with sprinkles on top. Her story isn't just about mastering Asanas; it's a deep dive into self-discovery and finding peace within the whirlwind of life. Cultural roots run deep, and when they intertwine with spiritual evolution, the fusion can be as complex as it is beautiful. Susan walks us through her seamless, yet challenging, transition from the vibrant life in Shanghai to the serene embrace of Vedic traditions. With the subtlety of a lotus blooming in murky waters, she reveals how respect for her heritage and the open-hearted acceptance of new spiritual philosophies have shaped her identity. The warm tales of her family's support illustrate that true transformation is a collaborative journey, encompassing love, tradition, and the courage to embrace the unknown. In the pulsing heart of New York City, Susan brings a slice of serenity through yoga nidra and bhakti yoga, inviting us to find stillness amidst the chaos.

What kind of culture do you promote at your agency? Do you keep track of things employees say are hitting or not hitting the mark about the culture? How has your culture changed since the pandemic? Today's guest runs a 260-employee agency and has put great care to ensure that work flexibility and employee happiness are a big part of their culture. She believes giving employees reasons to stay at her agency are much more beneficial than the work of having to constantly replace key roles due to high turnout rates. Tune in to learn about the ways she has reintroduced in-person activities while keeping a mostly remote workflow and how she makes sure employees feel heard. Jane Crisan is the CEO of Rain the Growth Agency, a fully integrated performance-based agency based in Portland, Oregon. Her agency offers agency a unique approach to scaling brands with deep expertise in media, creative, strategy, and analytics. With more than half of their employees working from all over the country, they've made a commitment to having a flexible-first workforce as a way to keep employees happy. Tune in to see their journey to small independent business to a multimillion-dollar agency and the struggles to maintain a flexible work culture following the pandemic. In this episode, we'll discuss: Mapping out the path for employee career progression. Building community while respecting work flexibility. Making a deliberate effort to create culture.

Making Sure Employees Feel Heard & Can Express Their Concerns Like many businesses, Jane's agency took the pandemic as a chance to open up its doors to talent from all over the country. It was a great opportunity to grow the agency, which started 25 years ago as a small independent agency and now has around 260 employees. Getting access to talent they probably would've never been able to relocate to Portland was a huge advantage and it also meant committing to being a flexible-first agency. Jane puts a lot of effort into maintaining low turnover levels, and although she knows there's no magic solution to making everyone happy, there are a few things she's found are very important to creating a sound work environment. For starters, the agency conducts a yearly all-employee survey to gather feedback and identify areas of improvement. This survey has been conducted for the past 10 years and allows the agency to track trends and address any concerns. The Importance of Mapping Out the Path Over the years, the number one thing that came across with the annual survey was career progression. To address this, the agency invests time and resources in helping employees see a future within the organization. They employ a talent management assessment system called the "nine box," which assesses an employee's potential for growth and where they currently stand in their career. This system allows them to identify high performers, future leaders, and individuals who may need additional support or training. The agency is also very committed to quarterly goal setting and tracks whether departments and individuals are setting and achieving their goals. For Jane, no matter the size of the agency, goal setting a priority and holding employees accountable helps creates a culture of continuous improvement and personal development. Having a clear growth track can help tremendously to keep people motivated. Instead of shifting people's goals every quarter, at Jane's agency the senior team sits down at the beginning of the year and establish career progression goals for each employee. This long-term approach allows employees to have a clear vision of their growth trajectory and helps them stay focused on their objectives throughout the year. Additionally, the agency conducts quarterly check-ins to ensure that employees and their managers are on the same page and to make any necessary adjustments. Sometimes employees may find that their initial goal to be managers didn't turn out to be what they expected and want to change paths. Many individuals excel as individual contributors and may feel miserable when forced into management positions. This is why it's so important to help employees discern their strengths and interests, guiding them towards the most suitable career paths. Mastering the Remote Agency Balancing Act As a mostly distributed agency, Jane confronts an ironic challenge - remotely fostering the connections that sustain a thriving culture. Granting location flexibility wins employee applause yet strains community ties essential for engagement. Seeking solutions – and since employees themselves expressed missing in-person interactions – Jane orchestrates annual on-site summits converging far-flung teams under one roof. Finally pairing names to faces, coworkers bond face-to-face, forging ties persisting long after their Portland return. Supplementing yearly reunions, virtual initiatives facilitate camaraderie despite distance. Happy hours, trivia and Slack channels give employees seeking camaraderie space to interact casually. Laughter and levity still permeate daily experience. While remote work poses undeniable engagement obstacles, for Jane flexibility prevails as a strategic advantage with proper caretaking. Her creative efforts to nurture connection amidst constraints highlight that distributed teams can thrive through unity-focused systems. With purposeful community-building as a priority, employees feel recognized, valued and bonded through shared experience - the foundation for an agile, resilient agency built to go the distance. Though staying remote requires constant creativity, with the right workplace culture any isolated gaps soon disappear. Cultivating Connective Tissue Through Deliberate Building Jane understands a thriving agency relies on thriving teams. And cohesive teams demand deliberate culture cultivation. Hence the urgency of making connection central to company identity - binding individuals to collaborative community. Deliberate culture builds strong teams, so her focus is on creating and maintaining a set of values, behaviors, and practices that align with the company's goals and objectives. When a company takes intentional steps to cultivate a positive and inclusive culture, it lays the foundation for building strong teams. For Jane, one of the key aspects of deliberate culture is the emphasis on connection and community. She prioritizes regular team meetings, both in-person and virtually, where team members have the opportunity to interact and collaborate. By fostering these connections, team members feel a sense of belonging and are more likely to stay with the company for a longer period. Over time, the priority placed on genuine human relationships cements loyalty even amidst competing opportunities. When agency priorities align with employee values beyond paychecks, retention risk reduces. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

One measure of cultural change that's been coming out annually since 1998 is the Beloit College Mindset List. The list tells us what has always been true or not true for incoming college freshman. Those born in 2005 comprise this year's incoming class of 2027. For them, a cloned human being has always been a thing. The word “sexting” has always been a part of their vocabulary. Videos are not something you rent at a store. Rather, this year's incoming class  have only lived in a world where videos are something you upload to youtube. For them, HIV has always been more or less curable. Sci-Fi and Fantasy movies have always been the top-grossing film genres in a single year. And they are growing up in a world where they will always worry about getting a job in which they can be replaced by a bot. Parents, while the world is changing at breakneck speed, God's Word remains unchanged. Help your kids see how God speaks to the pressures, issues, and changes they encounter in today's youth culture.

In this podcast, Brian Miller, Executive Director of Coach Approach Ministries, interviews Jay Dickerson, a seasoned missionary based in Costa Rica, who specializes in coaching other missionaries. Jay discusses his experience of helping new missionaries adjust to their host culture, overcome culture shock, and thrive in their new environment. He emphasizes the importance of approaching coaching with a learner's attitude rather than a judgmental mindset. Jay also highlights the significance of celebrating small wins and milestones along the way, such as mastering the local language and being able to share the gospel message with confidence. The conversation underscores the dynamic nature of cultural intelligence and how it can be cultivated and improved over time to better navigate different cultural contexts. Overall, the podcast provides valuable insights and practical advice for coaching missionaries through their unique challenges and transformations in their mission field.   FOLLOW US: http://www.linkedin.com/company/coach-approach-ministries Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coach.approach.ministries Podcast (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/5J16wfziYfSHzVq4hFLXCM Podcast (on iTunes): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-coach-approach-ministries-podcast/id1077947301 Website: www.coachapproachministries.org Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@coachapproachministries7538

Coreology: Navigating Culture Wars Without Losing Our Soul

On this week's episode I'm joined by Co-founders of Happy Hq, and the hosts of the culture shock podcast Janine Jacobs and Louisa Mordaunt. Today we're talking all about co-creation of culture, and what gets in the way of businesses embracing a more people-focussed workplace, and how we can go about creating workplaces where people can participate in shaping work. Something I love about Janine and Louisa's approach is the fact they've tried and tested everything they do, which means they truly know how to help companies make those shifts.

Today I have the honor of talking with someone who I think is one of the best, if not the best, Christian models of navigating this tough culture with grace AND truth. Dr. Sean McDowell is a gifted communicator with a passion for equipping the church, and especially young people, to make the case for the Christian faith. In this episode, we go deep into the question of how we can better balance grace and truth in our interactions with a hostile culture--and also in our interactions with fellow believers.

Welcome to the third episode in this new mini-series, Junior Doctor Foundations, released as part of CMF's 1st incision podcast. We kick-start this mini-series with six episodes focusing on how to thrive as a Christian junior doctor living and working in a culture described as a ‘Digital Babylon'.  Life in the twenty-first century is accelerated and more complex than ever before. As Christians, especially junior doctors, it can feel like we are exiles living in a culture hostile to our faith. So how might we keep running the race of faith despite all the challenges?Today we are unpacking how we engage with culture and social media. Your host is Lizzy Kennedy (a junior doctor based in Devon); she is joined by two guest speakers London based junior doctors Ben Chang (an emergency department trainee, speaker and writer) and Sally Barker (in her second foundation year as a trainee doctor and co-creator of medical podcast series A to Easy). Faith for Exiles: The book Faith for Exiles inspired this podcast series. Written by members of the Barna Research Group who have interviewed around 100,000 young adults, it focuses on what we can learn from the practices of those young people who have kept going with their faith. To find out more about the book Faith for Exiles, check out  faithforexiles.com/   You can find more about the CMF research on this topic here at cmf.li/ResilientDiscipleBook recommendations discussed in this podcast: Ben Chang's upcoming book Christ and the Culture Wars: Speaking for Jesus in a World of Identity Politics is due to be released in May 2023: christianfocus.com/products/3095/christ-and-the-culture-wars.

I got to have a fantastic conversation with Dr. Sean McDowell. Sean is an educator and speaker, the son of evangelist Josh McDowell, and he is passionate about helping people view all areas of life through a Biblical worldview. Sean shared so many great insights about some major questions the world is asking when it comes to why faith matters.If you've ever wondered how to articulate your faith or answer the questions your kids are asking about the beliefs you've always had but now they don't. Or, if you've ever wondered what Iron Man has to do with Jesus, then trust me. This episode is for you. I'd love to hear your thoughts on our conversation.

This week's episode was a dream come true for me. I had the chance to talk with Crawford Loritts, a pastor and evangelist with an incredible legacy.  Crawford also happens to be the author of one of the best leadership books I've ever read (you can see some of my other leadership book recommendations here), and we get the chance to talk a bit about it as well. We talked through his experience leading Fellowship Bible Church for 15 years, processed the effects of deconstruction on the church, and how we can impact the culture around us as Christian leaders.  I know you're going to appreciate what he has to say, whether you're a church leader or a leader in a church.Special thanks to Serve.HQ for sponsoring this week's episode!HighlightsSimplicity and Clarity - 1:34 Crawford Lorrits' background Becoming a cheerleader for leaders.

Navigating Culture If you are over 50 you have lived through some drastic changes, or rather deviations, in our culture. Even some of our kids have lived through these changes and our cultural attitudes and behaviors toward things that used to be considered abnormal. Less than 10 years ago, only a few people identified as gay. Yet in the last few years, we have seen those numbers rise and more than double. Are we preparing our kids to interact in a world that is changing drastically? Some of our own kids are feeling influenced to follow this lifestyle. What are we to do? Discussing Cultural Navigation with Joe Dallas Joe Dallas is an author, conference speaker, and ordained pastoral counselor. He directs a biblical counseling ministry for those dealing with sexual and relational problems. He also works with their families. Joe says that one of his greatest joys is seeing people's lives conformed to God's will. Joe has also authored six books on human sexuality from the Christian perspective and his new book is “Christian in a Cancel Culture.” Episode Highlights: What does Psalm 11:3 say? What are the things in danger from the mainstream agenda? What is the best place to start when facing sexual education? How can discussing feelings help build a foundation for the topic of sexuality? When talking to young children about sexuality what should you start with? Image from Canva

Episode 51 - The Truth about Marketing with Walt Mueller The world of marketing is one of the most powerful life shapers out there, and it's targeted at our kids! Its greatest power is not to sell a product, but to sell a worldview. Walt brings us the truth about this and emphasizes the importance of starting conversations with the kids in our lives - teaching them to think critically and Christianly about what they are viewing. Ready to hear how you can listen to both God's word and our culture? Let's go.... DR. WALT MUELLER is the founder and President of the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding (CPYU), a non-profit organization with the mission to work with churches, schools, and community organizations to build stronger relationships between young people and those charged with helping them grow into healthy adulthood.  Walt has been working with young people and families for over 40 years. He has appeared on numerous media outlets internationally to discuss teenagers and their world. He writes on youth culture and family issues and is the author of ten books, including his newest book, A Student's Guide to Navigating Culture,  is a regular contributor to a variety of magazines and journals, and is a blogger. Walt's commentary and analysis on youth culture is heard on 800 radio stations across North America on CPYU's daily radio program, Youth Culture Today and is the host of the “Youth Culture Matters” podcast.  Walt and his wife Lisa live in Elizabethtown, PA and they have four grown children and six grandchildren.  Walt wants people to know that his greatest joys have come as a dad. He is not an expert on any of these issues, but rather sees himself as a fellow struggler with other parents and grandparents who are endeavoring to understand the world of kids in order to provide solid guidance and direction in the midst of a very confusing world.

The culture is here, and we as Christians are living in it! Join us for a conversation about how to authentically live for Jesus in a culture that doesn't share our values and beliefs. My guest Brittany White shares how she authentically uses her personality and creativity to reach people that may love the culture a little more than the Lord. Her ability and desire to meet people where they are and sprinkle Jesus on it is so beautiful and hilarious to watch. We both believe that in order to draw people to Christ we must understand where people are, how they are being influenced, and be honest about having been through many of the same things.

Navigating Culture

If you have ever traveled to a new country, moved into a new neighborhood, started that new internship or even kicked life off in a new school- you have likely experienced a period of cultural adjustment in response to such shifts. Today in the boardroom, we speak on our experience flying back home to Kenya for summer break and exciting observations we've made in our social circles, the country's leadership approach to COVID regulations, how the political space is shaping up this election year in the country and just how important it is to build context around such cultural shifts in order to survive and thrive in 'new' environments.

The only way to navigate culture successfully is to set your focus on the future realities of the Christian life that await those whose life is hidden with Christ. Colossians 3:2-4 - 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Being vigilant in navigating culture is Crucial if you want to avoid spiritual detours that lead you away from Christ. Colossians 2:20–3:1 20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh. 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Holding firm to the sufficiency of Christ is fundamental if we are to correctly navigate a culture that insists on adding or subtracting to the Bibles definitions of salvation and your walk with Christ. Colossians 2:16–19 16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

Making the right decision on who is the captain of our life is crucial if we want to understand what we are here for and where we go from here. Colossians 2:9–15 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

Navigating culture requires us to stand firm on what the Bible says so that we will not be taken captive by the words and ideas of people who don't believe in Christ as the Lord of the universe. Colossians 2:6–8 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. 8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Founder and president of CPYU, Walt Mueller, joins the podcast to discuss his latest book A Student's Guide to Navigating Culture. Kyle, Linda, and Matt pick his brain on why he wrote the book, ask questions about the "World, Word, Walk" paradigm the he lays out in the book, and discuss the role of relevance as youth workers balance being biblically but also culturally informed.

Anya's mantra is 'who cares what Aunty thinks, live your life!' As an immigrant from Trinidad, Anya understands the pressure immigrants feel from their community, the people in their new homes, and even from themselves to build a life that's impressive to others, even though it may be extremely stifling to them.What a wholesome and honest conversation we had. We talked about so much, from being a first-generation immigrant to paying off debt aggressively, to standing up to societal expectations and building community. We talked about:Moving to Boston from Trinidad as a teenagerGraduating with $36,000 in student loans and moving across the country to San FranciscoBeing the only or one of the only Black women in Tech rolesHow the financial knowledge from her family did not apply to her life in the USAHow not having a support system impacted her financesBuilding community after relocating to a new city and budgeting for itGetting laid off and leaving the USA temporarilyFinally making a plan to pay off her debtHow going home helped her financially, emotionally, and mentallyWhat's different about her nowWhy she's building Navigating CultureWith Navigating Culture, and the Navigating Culture podcast, Anya is empowering immigrants and even people from immigrant families to live by the mantra, Who Cares What Aunty Thinks, Live Your Life.

Pastor Bob La Tour addresses the hostility of the current culture to the biblical pattern for the family.

Raise your hand if any of the following resonates with you. 1) You feel like the only way you can accomplish your goals is through working harder and longer than everybody else. 2) You feel that being successful means that you have to just accept working with people who are disrespectful and mean. 3) You feel like you are a disappointment because you worked extremely hard, and your family sacrificed a lot for you. But you're stuck in a career where you don't feel like you'll ever rise through the ranks.If you've said yes to any one of those (or maybe all three), allow me to introduce you to Martha Garza. Martha is a multi-passionate explorer and entrepreneur who was born and raised in Mexico and now lives in the USA. Like you, she experienced those three situations. However, throughout her journey, she managed to move past the cultural limit of needing to hustle, grind, and suppress herself on the path to prosperity.From the pressures of not wanting to disappoint her father, pushing past limiting beliefs that told her she wasn't good enough, to fully exploring life in novel ways, this episode will light an adventurous fire within your belly while inspiring you to be loving and kind.The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:Taking the first step and going for it despite limiting beliefsSeeking the growth not on the outside but through the inner workYour own definition of success is so much worthier than anyone else's Resources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingcultureConnect with Martha:Martha's website: https://marthacgarza.com/Martha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marthacristina/ 

A common belief held amongst older women in immigrant communities is the expectation for younger women to be the traditional good daughter and daughter-in-law. Parween came face to face with this expectation as a random auntie asked her, “What do you do for work?” Parween told her about her business helping women of color improve their financial literacy. The auntie shook her head and cautioned Parween, saying, “You shouldn't get too busy with that career, because you will not be able to manage the business and be a good housewife.”If the elders within your community hold the same viewpoint, know that this is a consequence of the cultural obsession with a very narrow understanding of gender roles. It's a mentality that tells young women that their chief success is equal to how well they run a home, and how much they sacrifice for others. And while none of the former is intrinsically bad, success means more for many young immigrant women, including Parween.If you want to learn how to stretch the boundaries of what success means when you live in a community with strong gender expectations, this episode is for you. Parween discusses how we can accept and honor our community's cultural expectations while finding ways to dream beyond them.The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:How to take the values from your community and evolve themMoving beyond your community's expectations and choosing yourself, your dreams, and your desires.Having compassion for your elders and their values while seeing those values differentlyResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingcultureConnect with Parween:Parween's Website: https://thewealthywolfe.ca/ 

Way back in 1678, John Bunyan wrote the classic book, The Pilgrim's Progress. The allegory brings to life the difficulties followers of Jesus face in navigating the challenges of living to God's glory in this broken world. Even though the story is almost three hundred and fifty years old, Bunyan's young protagonist, Christian, is not unlike our children and teens today. How can we equip our children and teens to navigate the unique set of pressures, dilemmas, challenges, choices, and expectations they face in today's youth culture? Are there ways to facilitate the development of Christian wisdom and skills in cultural discernment that will serve them well for the rest of their lives? Join as we chat with two youth workers about a new resource from CPYU designed to help kids navigate today's culture to the glory of God, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

“Therapy?” I can hear the echoes of the aunties' judgments now. Though the guilt and shame took me some time to work through, I eventually decided that this was the right decision for me.I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was young. As both an immigrant and a Millenial, it is no surprise that this is something I am still dealing with. I was able to push through my hesitation and finally make the decision to find a therapist and if you are struggling with your mental health, I want to encourage you to do the same.This episode is for you if you've ever experienced depression, anxiety, or any mental health issue. It's for you if you are struggling with taking the next step from acknowledgement to seeking help. As someone who has personally straddled that line, take it from me that the next step is the right one. You are not alone and I hope that after tuning in you give yourself permission to seek the help you need. The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:That you are not alone if you suffer from depression or anxietyWhy you should not be ashamed if you are struggling with your mental healthThat seeking help does not make you weak but instead takes real strengthResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingculture

For most of us, there is a tight network of parents, aunties, uncles, and even neighbors who watch our every move, ensuring that we are well behaved, whatever that means. Alicia felt the same pressures growing up. Her parents raised her to be fiercely independent outside of the home. But when her parents spoke, they expected her to follow their every command. And this pressure to be subservient, didn't stop at the perfume she wore or the hobbies she chose, it also extended to her parents' desires of what she studied in high school and beyond.If you've ever felt pressured into pursuing a specific path in fear of letting your elders down, this episode is for you. Although Alicia doesn't have the job security of a doctor, lawyer, or even her former roles, she's making more money than she's ever made. Alicia and I dig deep in our conversation as we place our fingers on the pulse of what it means to redefine rejection, finding beauty and joy in failure and resilience, and discovering who you are all while staying true to yourself.The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:How to find the joy in failureRedefining rejection and finding the beauty in resilience and restMoving away from the need to be strong and finding comfort in being softResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingcultureConnect with Alicia:Alicia's Instagram: @aliciamwenaAlicia's Website: https://aliciarichins.com Alicia's LinkedIn 

We live in a world that often tells us to dim our light. Especially as immigrants in a new country, we're often told to keep our heads down and blend in. Shinjini Das was born in India, moved to Malaysia, and finally immigrated to the USA when she was nine. That first move to New Jersey sparked her journey of learning how to trust and accept her ambitious pursuits from her high-level academic wins to her nationally recognized public speaking triumphs. Keeping up with her go-getter personality, she is now the CEO of a media company that she built from the ground up.Shinjini has found out how to create happiness, peace, and success all on her own terms. In today's episode, she's going to teach you how to do the same. If you want to learn how to discover who you are, stay committed to becoming that person every single day, not be afraid of pursuing your passions relentlessly, and stop repressing your true self for fear of what others may think, this episode is for you. The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:How to discover who you are and stay committed to that person every single dayNot to be afraid of pursuing your passions relentlesslyWhy you should stop repressing your true self for the fear of what others might thinkResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingcultureConnect with Shinjini:Shinjini's Instagram: @speakershinjiniShinjini's Website: https://www.unapologeticallyshinjini.com/ Buy Shinjini's book here: https://www.unapologeticallyshinjini.com/buymemoir 

In America, the patriarchy is always judging our worth based on an outward image of productivity, contribution, and potential value to others.  But who comes up with the "standard" of worth?  This metric for measuring success is already BS, and even more so when you're considered an outsider trying to find your way in the good ol US of A.  When you're an immigrant, you might think of the patriarchy as your disapproving Aunty - whose expectations you can never live up to, no matter how perfectly you check off all the boxes.Anya Cherrice, helps immigrants and people from immigrant communities redefine archaic ideas of success and dream bigger.  Have a listen to hear how she helps people break through these barriers to thrive (and gain some perspective for those of us already from here).  Find Anya at www.navigatingculture.coAnd check out her podcast Navigating Culture for more! 

“You should be more grateful.” We hear that phrase often from our parents. It's also a phrase that is echoed and amplified when we move to a new country. That phrase comes back to haunt us with a specific type of energy when we express our desire to dream bigger.Don't get me wrong - being grateful is important. It helps you love yourself, accept yourself, and feel excited by all the progress you've made on your journey. However, using gratitude as a reason to stay where you are when you want something more is unfortunate.This episode is for you if you've ever felt guilty for striving for more. It's for you if you are walking the line between gratitude and pushing for growth feels like you're balancing on a tightrope. Being grateful does not mean you don't want to grow on your journey. It also doesn't mean you have to stay on the same path that you've been on or beg for validation for your future choices. So tune in and find comfort in the fact that you are not alone in feeling this way. Because you can be grateful and still pursue what you want.The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:Why gratitude doesn't have to get in the way of pushing for growth and pursuing what you wantForced gratefulness or the forced expectation of gratitude is the complete opposite of true fulfillmentBeing grateful and expressing your gratitude through aligned actionResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad, or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingculture

Nisha Mody is not an immigrant, but she grew up surrounded by these brave souls. Her parents immigrated from India to the USA, which taught Nisha from a very young age to internalize the belief of working hard and earning your place by any means necessary.Like many immigrants and children of immigrant parents, Nisha remembers vividly the lectures from both her parents about working one's finger to the bone in order to make it in this capitalistic society. This is a common mantra held amongst immigrants who justify leaving behind everything they knew in order to survive in a new country.Today, Nisha, a librarian turned coach, uses her lived experiences to help people of color heal their intergenerational trauma, while guiding them through that anxiety and other mental health concerns.If you want to learn how to love yourself, in spite of all the ways you feel undeserving, and if you want to discover how to start healing yourself now in a world that tells you don't deserve peace, then I invite you to sink into this episode. Tune in as Nisha reminds immigrants and people from immigrant communities of one common truth: that you are inherently worthy, no matter what society says about you.The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:Redefining your success comes from understanding that you are worthy, despite what society says about you.Recognizing that your valuable enough to seek out healingThe importance of having a community of people who can support usResources:Download your free audio coaching here: navigatingculture.co/liveyourbestlifeListen to more episodes: https://www.navigatingculture.co/podcast#recent-episodesBuy Merch: https://www.navigatingculture.co/shopSave $1000s on your Student Loans: https://www.navigatingculture.co/junoPlease know that by rating the Navigating Culture podcast on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, you're co-creating this mission to inspire immigrants to live their own life, no matter what Aunty, Dad or that nosy neighbor next door thinks.Connect with Anya:Website: www.navigatingculture.co/podcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/navigatingcultureConnect with Nisha:Nisha's Instagram: @healinghypegirlNisha's Website: https://www.nishaland.com/ Nisha's Twitter: @nishamody

New Episodes Are Dropping March 9, 2021 Welcome to season two of The Homesickness Cure podcast! Whether you're an immigrant in a new country or feel like the culture in your parent's house is a universe away from what's outside their front door, we can agree on something: creating a life you like in a place that doesn't feel like home is really hard. If you're struggling to find yourself while navigating two cultures, pour yourself a cup of tea, dear, I think you'll like it here. I'm your host, Anya Cherrice, CEO & founder of Navigating Culture, and I'm on a mission to help immigrants learn how to self-validate, remove self-doubt, and achieve their dreams by redefining archaic ideas of success.

 Pop in your earbuds and get ready to take notes as I talk to immigrant and first-gen guests and even share some of my own advice on how you can start living life on your own terms (not your parents, not your friends, and not your nosy aunties & uncles.) We'll be talking about finance, mental health, finding your purpose when it goes against the norm, fitting in & belonging and a whole lot more. Leaning off the edge of your seat, yet? Let's get started.

In this episode, Parthvi interviews her fellow co-host Anya, on her solo travelling experience! After years of working in San Francisco, Anya came to the realization that she was living a life that she just didn't feel passionate about and she needed to make a change for the sake of her mental health. Anya was ready to figure out what her life's purpose was. How did she do this? She got on a plane and headed to Europe...on her own! Anya shares how her solo-travel experience shaped her appreciation for different versions of paradise and how she was able to use this time alone for some serious self-reflection. She did the work and dug deep to finally be in a place where she feels like she is leading a life with purpose; she figured out what she wanted her impact on the world to be. Through the time she took for introspection on this trip, Anya realized that the mental unrest she felt back in San Francisco came from the turmoil of navigating America as an immigrant without guidance or a community to lean on. This sparked her idea for the launch of Navigating Culture - a safe space for Immigrant and First-Gen struggling with this merging of 2 cultures. The community she has created online is growing quickly as thousands of like-minded persons can relate to the way she shares her experiences candidly and interacts with her followers as if they're her friends! In this episode, Anya also shares her top tips for female solo-travelers and how to make the most of a solo trip while always taking safety into account! You'll want to open your notes app for this part. This was a fun episode to record so we hope you enjoy listening!
