Navigating Life Transitions After a Refugee Journey

What does it mean to rebuild when you don't belong anywhere? Abdikadir went from refugee camp to resettlement, from one country to another, from survival mode to searching for home. This is a conversation about navigating the messy middle of major life changes when you're caught between two worlds. About the anxiety of never fully belonging anywhere. For anyone who's ever felt displaced, unrooted, or stuck between identities. Abdikadir shares what it's like to carry grief for a home you'll never return to, the overthinking of trying to fit into a culture that doesn't understand you, and how to rebuild identity when everything familiar is gone. You'll hear about resilience without toxic positivity, the mixed emotions of gratitude and loss, and why starting over after displacement means redefining what "home" even means.
