Hey, I'm Dina, and I've just hit the big 3-0. You know that drive that keeps people up late, that spark in their eyes when they talk about it? Well, I've never really had that – no posters, no superfan moments, nothing ever clicked.
I've also faced mental health challenges. It's a journey I'm open about.
Whether you're on a quest for passion, dealing with mental health issues, or simply curious about life's messy journey, I invite you to join me.

4. Unexpected Insights from Mom's Suitcase
In this episode, I share my personal journey of moving to Mexico and how it opened my eyes to the challenges my parents faced when they immigrated to a new country and started a new life. I focus on my mom and how I didn't truly grasp the emotional aspect she went through. I share anecdotes about her attempts to pack up her homeland in a suitcase; it would embarrass me. Ultimately, I come to realize that my mom isn't as annoying as I once thought; she's just... my (immigrant) mom.

3. Good Meat, Confetti and One Year in Mexico
In this episode, I talk about celebrating my birthday and the surprising realization that it's already September, marking one year since I arrived in Mexico. It's a bittersweet feeling - I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I won't deny that starting anew in another country has been pretty darn tough. Also, a quick side note: I'm still not a fan of coffee. That iced coffee I mentioned? It's honestly more sugar than coffee. Plus, I prefer it decaf, and to be honest, I enjoy the milk part more than anything else.

In this episode, I'll walk you through my story of suddenly realizing I'm about to turn 30 after a mental health break. The sudden wake-up call led to panic and a rush for success, making me forget how far I've come.

1. PCOS: My Dirty Secret I Couldn't Keep
Welcome to the very first episode of our second season! I'm thrilled to be back for another season. I'll be sharing my personal journey with PCOS - what it means in daily life and why it's essential to talk about it openly. It's not an easy topic for me, but I believe that by spreading awareness, we can make a positive impact and build a sense of community.

0. Season 2
Hello everyone, and welcome to a new season of "My Thing"! It's Season 2, and I think it's time for a fresh start. There are a few reasons for this. First, I've been away for six months, and a lot has changed during that time. Plus, my very first episode aired on December 25, 2021! Mentally, it has been quite a journey for me. I've been trying to find what I'm passionate about, dealing with burnout and mental health. But now, I feel like I'm slowly making progress with my burnout.
This podcast is still very personal to me. It all started because I felt frustrated. I've always been around talented people, and it has been frustrating for me to not know what I'm passionate about. Even when I was a kid, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. So, when I got burnt out two years ago, it became easier for me to talk into a microphone and share my thoughts. It's a way for me to sort out my thoughts, discover who I am, find my passion, and talk about my mental health.
I hope this podcast can continue to be a safe place where I can freely express myself, share my thoughts, and have conversations about personal growth. Together, I hope we can navigate the good and bad times, celebrate moments of clarity, and support each other through uncertain times.
While "My Thing" is my personal project, I also want to raise awareness about mental health and encourage open discussions. Reach out by dm on insta @mythingthepodcast or by email mythingthepodcast@gmail.com
I want to thank all of you for your support, feedback, and involvement. Your presence and participation mean a lot to me.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let's dive into Season 2 of "My Thing" and continue exploring the most difficult thing I’ve ever done; life.
