    EP. 17 So, 2025?!?! w/ Mr. Simpson aka The Husband

    On this episode my husband joins me to chat about the past 13 months. It has been one hell of a ride but there were more good things than challenging ones. This episode was recorded after a scrumptious dinner, so we might have been in a food coma 😂😂😂 Academic Asylum - https://open.spotify.com/show/05lTnkxEgCHNHtNn6tkCm4 My personal website with my information - https://medrinenyambura.com/ My blog where I write stories of international students - https://medrinenyambura.com/blog/ A peek into my brain - https://substack.com/@therecoveringcreative?

    EP. 16 Breaking from being a Non-Starter

    On this episode, I share my journey of trying to figure out a creative career. There are a lot of starts and stops with some lulls in between. A journey that started at 10 years old has been a steep learning curve that has led me back to the beginning, the basic joy of creating. By listening to this episode, you will learn a few things on what might be feeding the non-starter pattern and tips I am using to stay true to the craft.   Where to find me: I produced a podcast telling the stories of international female graduate students in the U.S. Academic Asylum - https://open.spotify.com/show/05lTnkxEgCHNHtNn6tkCm4 My personal website with my information - https://medrinenyambura.com/ Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/medrinenyambura/  Follow me on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/medrinehnyambura

    EP. 14 An Immigrant's guide to surviving chaos (U.S. edition)

    I was 8 months into my immigration journey when the pandemic hit. That was followed by the 2020 election and what felt like chaos for a couple of years. Barely made it out with my head straight but I have a few tips on how we can (maybe) survive this time around.

    Being a creative while trying not to be a starving artist has led to some interesting detours. How does one create when they are no longer worrying about the basics?

I am on a journey to find out and I am taking you with me.  Academic Asylum - https://open.spotify.com/show/05lTnkxEgCHNHtNn6tkCm4 My personal website with my information - https://medrinenyambura.com/ My blog where I write stories of international students - https://medrinenyambura.com/blog/ A peek into my brain - https://substack.com/@therecoveringcreative?
