There’s something powerful in recognizing our differences as strengths, and using them to learn from and grow with each other. That’s what this show is about. It’s a place for us to share our stories, whatever they may be, listen to each other, and find belonging. So no matter where you’re at in your journey today, I’d love to invite you to pull up a chair, and settle into this space. I’m so glad you’re here.
Welcome to Different Like Me!

8 | Q&A
You asked. I answered. Because that's how Q&As work.
On this first episode in the year of our Lord 2023, I'm covering everything from what makes me happy everyday to future plans (Korea? No Korea?) and even sharing some things I've never ever talked about. Well, at least never talked about with strangers on the internet.
This was a hard one, so I ask that you listen with grace, care and compassion -- and perhaps on 1.5 speed because there's a time commitment required here, fam.

7 | What a Journey
For the past ten years or so, I've either lived abroad or been traveling -- a lot -- sometimes doing both at the same time. So, I'm no stranger to travel days. But this one... it made me check my salvation. On today's episode, join me on my treacherous 8-hour* journey for what was, hands down, the WORST travel day of my life.

6 | Is This the Bad Place?
This may come as a surprise to some of you, but… life abroad isn’t always just sipping lattes at the local raccoon cafe with Kpop stars. I know, disappointing. In Seoul, that kind of thing only happens every third Wednesday.
My point is, you don’t get to just roll up from wherever and do whatever. If you want to stay long-term in any country that you don’t have a passport for, you have to secure something called and visa. And most long-term visas require a trip to a dark place — the immigration office. Today, I’m bringing you along for the ride.
Join me if you dare. 😈

5 | Be Mine (or something like that)
♥️ Let’s talk about Valentine’s Day! ♥️
Today I’m taking a little stroll down memory lane and sharing some stories from WAY past Valentine’s Days. They’re cute, but more importantly, they're cringey. And I want to hear yours, too! Share your Feb 14 blunders with me on Instagram and I’ll pick a few to feature on the next episode.
May your Heart Day be happy!

4 | The Nightmare After Christmas
Once upon a time I kept having dreams about finally being able to leave Korea and visit my family in the states, and then getting the “ick” while I was there. And guess what… it really happened! This episode is all about that story, the massive mental spiral I experienced, how testing positive impacted my life and my return plans.

3 | Home-ish
SURPRISE! After almost three continuous years in Korea, I'm back to spend Christmas with my family and friends in Tennessee. And wow, it's already been a wild ride. From dueling taxi drivers to re-learning the art a small talk, feeling like an alien in my hometown and everything in-between -- on this episode I tell the story of my journey from Seoul to Cleveland and how "home" has changed for me. Thank you for listening!

Customer Reviews
Out of the Nest
Flying away (literally) from past conditionings and burdens, we see Anna getting in touch with a new essence/authenticity as she shares her deepest hurts and greatest successes in an enjoyable and effeminately alluring listen. With effortless ease of writing and a sexy voice, Anna helps listeners to embrace the spontaneous unfolding of life and how it is a cause for celebration.
For new listeners, some of it can be a bit esoteric, as you’re just thrust into her world, however these introductory stories are just the tip of her iceberg, guaranteed. Hope it can grow.
Authentic & Entertaining
I love that Anna is entertaining AND authentic. She is not exaggerating or faking it to make the podcast interesting. She tells true stories that draw the listener in because she is a gifted word-artist living an amazing life of survival, growth, and adventure.
In a word: sondering
In many more words: the host’s smooth, flowing voice eloquently conjures up a melancholic trance that leaves the listener absorbed by vivid, sensory details and refined, yet raw, emotion that pays respect to the host’s life experiences while re-examining the past for the sake of healing
In real talk: thoughtful. expressive. genuine. all words used to describe the kind of person that can beautifully narrate their trauma. this is precisely the kind of story the world needs to hear and the kind the world should pay attention to.
Take a listen; you’ll be glad you did.
