On episode 2 of the second Translation Podcast season, I chat with Urmi Hossain—a polyglot, author, and advocate for women’s empowerment. We explore her journey across languages and cultures, sharing insights on growth, mentorship, and storytelling beyond borders. Urmi also talks about breaking barriers, embracing challenges, and the power of connecting people through language.00:00 Introduction to Urmi Hossain04:29 The Journey of a Multilingual Life10:35 Strategies for Language Learning14:40 Balancing Professional and Personal Life17:26 Navigating a Career in Finance21:35 Building a Personal Brand as a Translator26:32 The Importance of Public Speaking31:55 Lessons from Corporate Leadership for Translators34:52 The Importance of Face-to-Face Networking36:48 Women Empowerment in Male-Dominated Fields40:05 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome43:52 The Role of Mentorship in Professional Growth47:51 Self-Publishing Journey and Personal Growth56:34 Creativity as a Key to Professional IdentityUrmi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/urmihossainhttps://www.amazon.ca/Discovering-Your-Identity-Interracial-Struggle/dp/B0B6XJ6Y3QDaniela: https://dgbromaniantranslation.com https://bio.site/thetranslationpodcast
