A video podcast exploring cultural exchange, languages, & identity. 🌍 Hosted by Alexandra Lloyd, celebrating diversity & fostering connection through powerful conversations.
Join us for an intimate conversation with Juliana Madrid, a Colombian business operations director who transformed a simple dream of perfecting her English into a beautiful cross-cultural love story. Discover how she navigated building relationships, career success, and family traditions while bridging two very different worlds. Her honest insights about cultural stereotypes, the reality of immigrant life, and creating ”home” in multiple countries will inspire anyone considering a major life change or curious about Latin American culture.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- The ”No Dar Papaya” mindset is essential for success – Juliana reveals how this Colombian expression (don't give opportunities to be taken advantage of) guided her from choosing Birmingham over Miami to sitting front row in every class.
- Colombian family closeness creates a practical support system that makes American independence shocking – Living with parents until marriage and having affordable household help means learning to cook and do laundry at 30 was a real culture shock.
- Breaking the Colombian expectation of having children requires channeling nurturing energy elsewhere – Juliana shows how she became ”Mama Juli” at work while her family's unconditional support made this choice possible without cultural judgment.
