So many chase the dream of going abroad. Few talk about what happens after.

In this heartfelt conversation, Pan sits down with Srishti, a Gen Z migrant and aspiring psychologist, to explore the hidden emotional cost of migration, where ambition collides with identity, belonging, and digital disconnection.

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱:

• The Myth of Making It Abroad — how social media shapes unrealistic expectations of migrant life

• The psychology behind comparison, digital addiction, and the anxious Gen Z mind

• “Liminal identity” — the in-between space of two cultures, and finding peace with both

• Small steps to rebuild connection and confidence in a new country.

• Reframing “What if…” fears into “So what?” empowerment

• How awareness, reflection, and self-compassion can bridge the migrant’s inner gap.
