I'm thrilled to share with you the latest episode of the Casa the Confidence podcast, where I had the pleasure of hosting the multi-talented Claire Evans. A former journalist, attorney, and college lecturer, Claire's journey is as fascinating as it is inspiring.

Here are some highlights from our conversation:

1. The British Love Affair: Claire's love for all things British started from watching British television shows on PBS with her mother. She studied abroad in London and eventually married a British man she met in Peoria, Illinois.
2. The Perpetual Student: Claire is a recovering lawyer who enjoys being a perpetual student. She shares her passion for reading, writing, and being well-versed in a subject.
3. Cultural Differences: Claire shares her experiences of living in the UK and the cultural differences she encountered. From the importance of rules and hierarchy to the need for introductions and vouching for oneself, her stories are both enlightening and entertaining.
4. Tea Time Tales: Claire's love for fruit tea and her husband's dislike for it led to a funny anecdote that highlights the importance of embracing differences and making concessions in a relationship.
5. Virtual Presentations: Claire's career as a presenter took a new turn during the pandemic, with virtual presentations opening up opportunities for global reach and inclusivity.
6. The Politics of Tea: Claire's upcoming presentation about the politics of tea at the Mark Twain Library is something you wouldn't want to miss!

I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and connect with Claire. She's been incredibly kind, and our conversation was truly enriching. As they say across the pond, cheerio everybody!

This episode revolves around the story of Bastian Hauser, an international student from Germany who currently studies at North Carolina state university. We talk about his life in the US, some cultural aspects that are of significance, in addition to his work at Technician, NC State’s student-led newspaper. Bastian shares with us some lessons learned from his experience, in addition to some funny moments that are memorable.

The career path of Ebehi Ijewere has not been easy, however—by trusting her instincts—Ebehi has found herself as an architect at Jacobs and host of the Layers of Design podcast. Ebehi grew up in Lagos, Nigeria where her creative influences were her mother and aunt who was an architect. These influences pushed her to move to the U.S. at the age of 17 for college.

Being an international student presented itself as a bit of a barrier after college as Ebehi applied for jobs. This led her to feel alone, but it also encouraged her to search for others having similar struggles. Finally through a connection, Ebehi landed her first job in architecture, but it never seemed fulfilling. Ebehi realized she wanted more than just any architecture job—she wanted one that truly valued her contributions.

This led her to rely heavily on her instincts—not being afraid to leave jobs that don't seem to be the right fit. It's admirable when people recognize a particular job is not enriching them and have the courage to move on. This is what led her to Jacobs, into a role where she truly feels valued. Ebehi encourages others not to ignore that feeling when "something isn't working."

Ebehi's story is an important reminder that you must seek out work cultures that empower you.

British-Italian-Brazilian, @JaiaSowden, references three generations of her family moving countries as a "tradition," even proposing that moving countries is "in their blood," and that putting down roots "would feel claustrophobic." Jaia is the daughter of my Episode 41 guest, Tabitha Sowden, and certainly there are overlaps in their stories, such as relocating from Milan, Italy to the UK at around 17, where both mother and daughter finished secondary school. But from the UK, Tabitha ultimately went South, falling in love with Brazil, and a Brazilian, Jaia's father. In contrast, Tabitha went north from the UK, falling in love with the Nordic countries Denmark and Sweden, becoming proficient in the Swedish language. Jaia says it was her grandparent's move from the UK to Italy, when Tabitha was two-years-old, that put this family in motion.  And "It's one of the best legacies," she says. 

There are so many things people don't tell you when you're preparing to migrate, and in this episode, Geraldine aims to fill in some of those gaps. Geraldine is a Filipina who migrated to New Zealand with her family after she graduated High School. Though it's been more than ten years since she and her family made the big move, in that time, she learned a lot about what it takes to make it as an immigrant.

Listen as Geraldine shares her wisdom and how her perspective changed after living in two different countries.

A master storyteller and engineer, Charissa took an unconventional path to graduate school in Thailand. Here she shares her highly unpredictable adventures full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing what she is going to do next.

“I didn't mean to end up in rural Thailand. In fact, I didn't even know I was going to be living there until I got off the plane. (It's a long story.)

But there I was, enrolled in a two year master's degree for mechanical and energy engineering in a place where nobody even spoke my language. I thought about quitting. Instead, I decided to try.

I taught myself Thai highly proficiently in less than 8 months. I explored and fell in love with a new culture. I wrote a whole 110 page thesis over downdraft gasification and got a master's degree! My passion for exploring cultures, loving people, and telling stories thrived.” – LinkedIn
