    63|Embracing Identity, Culture, and the Courage to Be Yourself a Conversation with Urmi Hossain

    "I am Italian by birth. I'm Bengali by blood. Rather than choosing either one, I choose both." For years, Urmi Hossain felt caught between two worlds. Growing up between cultures, she often found herself adapting to fit the expectations around her, while quietly wondering where she truly belonged. The journey to discovering her identity wasn't about choosing one side or the other—it was about embracing all the pieces that made her who she is. In this thoughtful conversation, Urmi shares her experience navigating cultural identity, overcoming self-doubt, and finding the courage to show up as her authentic self. Together, Karen and Urmi explore what it means to belong, to trust yourself, and to create a life that reflects your values rather than other people's expectations. This conversation isn't just about culture. It's about identity. It's about self-acceptance. And it's about giving yourself permission to stop choosing between parts of who you are and instead embrace the whole of who you were meant to be. About Urmi:  Urmi Hossain is a self-published author, speaker, podcast host, and finance professional based in Canada. Italian by birth and Bengali by blood, she embraces her multicultural identity and uses her voice to advocate for women’s empowerment, confidence, and self-leadership. Her book, Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth from Interracial Struggle, explores themes of belonging, culture, and self-worth, encouraging women to embrace all parts of who they are. As the host of Stories Beyond Borders, Urmi explores identity, migration, language, and what “home” truly means. Through her writing, speaking, and community leadership, she helps women turn their lived experiences into strength, confidence, and purpose.   https://www.youtube.com/@urmihossain - please add me as a collaborator on YouTube as well https://www.instagram.com/urmamio/ ( personal) Stories Beyond Borders podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stories-beyond-borders/id1831413373   *Special thank you to Laurie Hardie Podcast Coach and creator of 7 Day Podcast Pro Program for helping the Being Brave Tour come to life! http://www.coachlaurie.com/ A Gift for YOU - New Special Edition Magazine with The Women of the Shine Circle Take a little "Me Time" with a direct download (no email required)  https://heyzine.com/flip-book/3df657ed4c.html Visit Being Brave Tour Magazine www.beingbravetour.com Connect with Karen: Karen@favelifestyles.com

    67|Feeling like you've been living through someone else's lens?

    Feeling like you've been living through someone else's lens? Needing permission to see yourself with fresh eyes? Girlfriend... have you ever stopped and wondered if the life you're living is based on what you truly want... or what you've always believed you were supposed to want? Maybe you've spent years trying to be the perfect mom. The perfect wife. The perfect daughter. The woman who always puts everyone else first. And somewhere along the way... you stopped hearing your own voice. In this heartfelt conversation, Kristi Parry shares the powerful story behind her signature "lensless glasses" and why removing the lenses became a metaphor for letting go of shame, expectations, and stories that were never hers to carry. Together, we explore what it means to reconnect with your inner sparkle, trust your own wisdom, and begin creating a life that feels authentically yours. So grab your favorite drink, settle in for a little "me time," and ask yourself one simple question... What if the clearest way to see your life... is without someone else's lenses? About Laurie: Kristi Parry is an authenticity and transformational coach, speaker, and the proud mom of four incredible kiddos. She helps midlife moms—especially those with extra-spicy children—release shame, stop comparing, rewrite their stories, and step into more joy and sparkle.
