Maybe you’ve taken a chance and left your comfortable life to start over in a new country. Maybe you thought, “I'm experienced, I'm established. beginning again should not be that difficult.” Only to realize several months later, you can't seem to figure out where you belong, or what you should be doing in the place you now call home.
This is exactly what my guest today, Mariana Pena Vargas, experienced when she emigrated from Mexico to the Netherlands to be with her husband. On top of navigating the culture of her new home country, Mariana was faced with overcoming many bureaucratic obstacles that lowered her self-esteem. In our insightful conversation, Mariana discusses the process of emotional evolution and maturity in a new country, why having an abundant mindset is crucial for immigrants, and the mental shift of redefining your definition of success.

Tune in, listen to Mariana’s story, and find the strength to start from scratch without losing yourself, so you can make a mark for yourself even when you don’t feel seen.
