À propos de cette écoute

 The Immigrant Experience In America Podcast amplifies and humanizes the experiences of immigrants living in The United States of America and around the world. We are building a human library of immigrant stories. Connect with us at thebridgeconcepts.org to add yours to our library. Are you an immigrant, expat, international professional, international student new to the United States (or another country) and struggling to make sense of your new environment? Culture shock and adjustment challenges impact many of approximately 218 million migrants moving across the globe (UN, 2024). Are you feeling misunderstood and out of touch because you are struggling to understand the unstated rules of the new culture? That’s what we do each week on The Immigrant Experience in America. Every episode is an in-depth look at adjustment challenges, navigating the pitfalls of immigrant life, and becoming a third culture person. I was inspired to start this podcast by my own experience as an immigrant American who legally migrated to the United States but yet has frequent experiences of a love-hate relationship of America with its immigrant population and as a result of a larger vacuum surrounding the positive contributions of immigrants to American Life. We will sit down with successful immigrant Americans to discuss how they navigated the complexity of being an immigrant-American to achieve their American Dream. This is a spot for us to get real - peel back the layers, if you will, of what it means to be an immigrant living away from their birth country. Our intention is to serve as a bridge from your culture to the American (or other country) culture – giving you a roadmap of tools and language to understand the unstated rules of the new country/culture, wherever you find yourself in the world.2021 Simone W.

      Ep 190: My Interview on Carry on Friends Podcast - From Culture Shock to Confidence: My Third Culture Journey (Part 2)
      Aug 20 2025

      In Part 2 of my conversation with Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown on The Carry On Friends Podcast, we go even deeper.

      I share how navigating the immigrant journey as an immigrant woman has reshaped my understanding of identity, resilience, and power.

      We talk about the tension between assimilation and authenticity, and what it really means to create belonging without betraying yourself.

      This episode is for anyone who’s had to shrink to survive, but is ready to grow, take up space, and lead with clarity and courage.

      If you’ve ever questioned your belonging, struggled with cultural boundaries, or wanted to step more fully into your voice, this one is for you.

      Tune in and let’s continue the conversation. 🌍💬

      Ep 189: My Interview on Carry on Friends Podcast - From Culture Shock to Confidence: My Third Culture Journey (Part 1)
      Aug 13 2025

      I recently had the honor of being interviewed by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown on The Carry On Friends Podcast, where we explored the nuanced reality of what it means to live and lead, as a third culture immigrant.

      In this conversation, I shared how my journey shaped the way I navigate identity, culture shock, parenting, and boundaries in both personal and professional spaces.

      We spoke about the mental and emotional toll of existing between cultures and the quiet pressure so many of us feel to shrink or silence ourselves just to fit in.

      We also discussed what it means to redefine success on your own terms and the courage it takes to stay rooted in your values while adapting to a new environment.


      Whether you’re navigating life abroad, raising children in a culture different from your own, or figuring out how to honor your identity while building a career, this one’s for you.

      🎧 Tune in and let me know what resonates most with your journey.

      Ep 188: Rooted in Two Worlds: Maanarak of Grey on Culture Shock, Belonging, and Creativity Across Borders (Part 2)
      Aug 6 2025

      In this continuation of our conversation, I sit down once again with the deeply creative and reflective Maanarak of Grey, an artist and podcast host originally from the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean.

      In Part 2, we explore how art, storytelling, and stillness have helped her process the transitions of immigration, what it means to live between cultures, to grieve a place that still feels like home, and to reimagine belonging in unfamiliar spaces.

      This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and remember that creativity can be both a compass and a lifeline in times of transition.

      Tune in and listen to how one woman’s story holds space for many of us navigating the immigrant experience, quietly, powerfully, and on our own terms.
