Send us Fan MailHands up if you want to stay stuck in a job you hate, with dreams unfulfilled! No soul wants that. We want to succeed. We want adventure, to be seen, heard, felt. We want purpose, love. And most of all, we want to be remembered. I'm sitting down with guest and new friend, Samira Kawar, who left Jordan when there were no universities, and political unrest in neighboring countries cut short a bright, ambitious girl's vision. Her connections brought her to the USA but it was her talents and tenacity that took this expat woman to palaces.  Press play for wisdom and insight. Hear how education and integrity can change your destinyFor a life with no regrets, choose passion over practicality. Here is a podcast about courage—the courage to transform your life and to tell your own story. Here, we dive into the journeys of expat / immigrant women who've left their countries of origin for adventure or the American dream. Together, we explore the ache of homesickness, the challenge of cultural differences, and the search for identity—while sharing practical tips and inspiring success stories. This isn't just about living overseas. It's about finding resilience, purpose, and belonging. It's creating a home wherever you are. This is your space to learn, connect, and gather tools to navigate the emotional cost of building a life in the USA.https://www.instagram.com/placeswecallhomepod
