    WE RISE Episode 2 : Navigating Career Transition in a New Country - Accent, Identity and the Courage to be seen again

    🎧 New episode out now ! This episode is for the woman who's ever second-guessed herself before speaking up in a meeting — the one who knows the language but still feels like her voice doesn't quite land. Chiew and Warda get honest about what it really takes to rebuild a career in a new country: decoding unspoken cultural rules in the workplace, reclaiming confidence when your accent gets noticed before your ideas do, and learning to see the skills you already have instead of what feels missing. Plus, why volunteering might be the quiet door that changes everything. We want to hear from you: Have you navigated a career transition in a new country? What do you wish someone had told you when you moved to a new country or city? Send us your story at werisewomen.world@gmail.com, or leave a comment on Spotify, Apple or Youtube Podcasts. We read every one — and yours might just be featured on a future episode. 👇 Vote in the poll and tell us more in the comments. We're listening — and your answer might just help another woman feel less alone in it. 👉 Find us on LinkedIn: Warda Zaman and Chiew Jones.Let's keep rising together. #WERisePodcast #ImmigrantWomen #WomenSupportingWomen #CareerTransition
