Being a parent should not stop us from doing what we love and create a career out of it.

As our guest said, “If COVID has taught us anything, it's that this is our only life. Don't waste it wondering if you can do something, just go ahead and  try it.”

More about your host!

I’m Jackie, your Podcast Host and American - Filipina Mom of two wonderful little kids, who’s been living in Denmark with her family for the past seven years. Born in Manila, Philippines and I moved to California, US when I was five years old. Although today I treat the US as my homeland, I remember until this day, what a cultural shock the whole “moving into a new country” was for me. Especially that my mom was giving me rice meals for lunch to school, while all the other kids were having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I couldn’t understand why they were eating so differently and they couldn’t understand my “rice thingy” either.
