    Yes, Multicultural Millennial Womxn Are Whole

    Yes, Multicultural Millennial Womxn Are Whole

    Have you ever thought about what you want your ideal self to be? 

    In this episode of the MMW podcast, hosts Parthvi and Anya chat with special guest Dr. Kotowska about purpose and how that's linked to spirituality. 

    Dr. Ewelina Kotowska holds a doctorate in clinical psychology. Her work lives at the intersection of consciousness, spirituality, and neuroscience. She focuses on helping millennials connect with their spirituality and teaching them how to live a more fulfilling life! Through her studies, she has found that millennials are more inclined to abandon structured religion and relate more to the concept of spirituality. 

    Think about how many millennials you know that go to church...

    Now think of how many millennials you know that practice yoga, are into astrology, carry crystals and are obsessed with that app, The Pattern...

    Her theory makes total sense, right?

    Dr. Ewelina shares a lot about her practice of guiding millennials to a place where their purpose aligns with their spiritual belief and how looking deep and examining your conscious and subconscious experiences lead to this alignment. 

    Right now many of us are stuck in a place where we feel like we just can't figure life out. This episode will definitely bring some clarity on what steps we all need to take to finding our purpose and becoming our ideal selves.

    Yes, Solo-Travel Is For Everyone

    Yes, Solo-Travel Is For Everyone

    In this episode, Parthvi interviews her fellow co-host Anya, on her solo travelling experience! 

    After years of working in San Francisco, Anya came to the realization that she was living a life that she just didn't feel passionate about and she needed to make a change for the sake of her mental health. Anya was ready to figure out what her life's purpose was. 

    How did she do this? She got on a plane and headed to Europe...on her own! 

    Anya shares how her solo-travel experience shaped her appreciation for different versions of paradise and how she was able to use this time alone for some serious self-reflection. She did the work and dug deep to finally be in a place where she feels like she is leading a life with purpose; she figured out what she wanted her impact on the world to be. 

    Through the time she took for introspection on this trip, Anya realized that the mental unrest she felt back in San Francisco came from the turmoil of navigating America as an immigrant without guidance or a community to lean on. This sparked her idea for the launch of Navigating Culture - a safe space for Immigrant and First-Gen struggling with this merging of 2 cultures. The community she has created online is growing quickly as thousands of like-minded persons can relate to the way she shares her experiences candidly and interacts with her followers as if they're her friends! 

    In this episode, Anya also shares her top tips for female solo-travelers and how to make the most of a solo trip while always taking safety into account! You'll want to open your notes app for this part. 

    This was a fun episode to record so we hope you enjoy listening!
