I'm Barbara. My friends call me Barbie. But, don't mistake my name for the Malibu Barbie dream house. In fact, I don't have a picture perfect reality. Instead, I live a life of never-ending, existential questions like, "is this the job for me?," "do I want to be here?," or "am I happy?"

In this global, podcast I speak with ordinary, extraordinary people. Mostly millennials, but all ages are welcome to listen. All topics are on the table. Listen to find out what keeps bringing people back.

    The Black American Experience in Germany with Lucky

    The Black American Experience in Germany with Lucky

    The contents of this conversation are nothing new. The Black experience abroad has been discussed by many Black people online. I learned something new beyond the "race discussion," which is why this episode is an interesting one if you pay attention. Lucky is from Sacramento, California and we discuss what it's like to be both Black and American in Germany, playing into stereotypes, and fatherhood.

    Why Americans are Leaving to Europe with Adele

    Why Americans are Leaving to Europe with Adele

    Would you ever put "American" and "immigrant" in the same sentence? Not many would. For some the American dream is still real while others, not so much. Adele, who is from York, Pennsylvania and recently moved to Munich, Germany, shares why she made the move to Europe, the realities of living in America, and how most trends are a waste of consumerism.

    Handling Breakups (Even With Friends) with Patricia

    Handling Breakups (Even With Friends) with Patricia

    Breakups hurt and you don't know how to process what just happened. I've experienced all sorts of breakups, including friendships, and I believe we all have except we don't talk about it enough. Patricia is from Venezuela and we both have a lot of similarities being Latinas from Miami, Florida; however, we also lived parallel lives. She asks me questions that range from dating in your late 20s, the heavy blow of friendship breakups, and finding your tribe.

    The Freedom of Displacement with Gianmario

    This is what people won't tell you when you move abroad... In actuality, moving to live abroad isn't as romantic as one may make it appear on social media. Gianmario is from Naples, Italy and we speak on how his time abroad has shaped his personality, who he is today, why he chooses to live outside the country he spent the first years of his life and so much more with humorous moments in-between this conversation.
