In Between Worlds

What do you do when you don't fully belong anywhere—but somehow belong everywhere? Hosted by Nina Lai, this podcast brings you conversations that have stayed private for years—with people whose lives span cultures. We talk about identity, career pivots, parenting across borders, race, purpose, and what belonging means when home is complicated. These aren't polished success stories. They're honest conversations that offer a different lens on questions we're all navigating—whether you're living between cultures yourself or simply curious about perspectives beyond your own. New episodes monthly.
