MY THING Dina Srouji

In this episode, I talk about why I was away for three months, just a short, honest update. Also, I was chosen by a cat.

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.

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.

09:08 Waking Up at 30
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. I'll take you on a journey of looking back, appreciating where I am now, and being grateful for the opportunity to age.

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.

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.
