Unconventional Careers as an Asian American with Sara Surani
Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode, my friend Sara and I chat about straying off of our reputable career paths of being a doctor and engineer from Harvard and Caltech, how we balanced gratitude with boundaries, why our immigrant parents were initially unsupportive, how we redefined our parents' role in our lives, and what helped us lean into our personal dreams and visions for life.
