    Season 3, Episode 2: Independently Living in India

    In this episode I speak with Arzou who is living on her own in Hyderabad, India during the pandemic. She shares how her experience moving to India from Afghanistan as a 13 year old has given her compassion for others who leave their home country and have to adapt to new cultures. She also describes a bridging course she created in high school to help refugees adjust to their new environments and teaches those who live in the host country how to be more compassionate and welcoming to refugees and foreigners.

    Season 3, Episode 1: Making Music in the Strictest Lockdown in Australia

    Season 3, Episode 1: Making Music in the Strictest Lockdown in Australia

    In this episode I talk about learning to accept the things we cannot change and knowing what are the things we can change, and using our influence in these areas to create a positive environment to the people around us, especially this season of the Covid pandemic. 
    In Melbourne, the city metro area has gone into the unprecedented stage 4 restrictions, which is really testing the mental resolve of all Melbournians.  However, in the midst of all this, true freedom and peace are still possible to those who believe the all-knowing, all-powerful,  all-loving God is ultimately the only one in control. 
    We hear from a sweet young creative in Melbourne who is using this isolation to create music and art that expresses how she feels during this season of Covid 19.
