I’m lost, so what?

“How long will it take to be successful?” “Don’t you think you should…” “When does this whole thing get easier?” “So you… don’t know what you’re doing?” Existential questions that plague our everyday, especially as multicultural, hyphenated-folx who are between belonging and carving our own paths. I’m lost, so what? podcast shares bi-weekly episodes to explore the nuance and gray areas of life, culture, identity, work, and simply existing. Join me, Cassandra Le, Speaker, Writer, and Founder of The Quirky Pineapple Studio, and our multicultural, global community, for sassy conversations around belonging, relationships, self-love, business, and kinda knowing what you’re doing but questioning everything you’re doing. I’m lost, so what? is for folx who feel lost in their careers, identities, and dare we say... life. Who want to define their own path and rules. These conversations alongside multicultural guests and experts probably won’t give you answers, but hopefully, share new perspectives to decide on your own. P.S Want exclusive access to more personal musings from me and our guests? We’d love to have you join the conversation - head to the show notes to sign up for the “Doing Good” newsletter.
