Finding Your Purpose With Burcu (Turkey) (English)

Welcome to episode 28 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz where I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time. Today's guest is Burcu Onaranel. She is the owner of Joy, LLC, international speaker, and host of The Coffee O’Clock Podcast.  In her podcast she shares joy and inspiration with guest from all over the world who have inspirational stories to tell. Burcu came to the United States from Turkey looking purpose. She had, what people called, "the perfect life" - she had a good career, made good money, had a car, had a degree, yet she wasn't happy. She took a huge risk, quit her job, moved to the United States without knowing English, only searching for her purpose. Once the pandemic hit, she moved back to Turkey to be with her family during those uncertain times. Her experience is different from other episodes I've had but I appreciate her experience because she came to the U.S. to find purpose. She wasn't running away from anything, she wasn't struggling in her home country, however, she was brave to move to a whole new country - the country of opportunities, to find her life's true purpose. And in the four years she was here, she founded her company! She now helps other entrepreneurs reach personal and business goals. In the episode we talk about me being a guest on her podcast and you can listen to it here.
