“What do you want to be when you grow up?” hits very differently past 40. For Andrea Bazoín, it sparked a four-year search for what she calls her “soul match.”

Some people might call that a midlife crisis, but Andrea says she was following the next sparkling crumb. In this episode, she takes you inside her search — the moments of doubt, what kept her moving forward, and the breakthrough moment when everything finally came full circle.

Topics discussed:

00:00 - Introduction
01:49 - How her cultural identity shaped her career decisions
04:10 - Why she left a long career behind and the struggle to start over
07:24 - What she did to find her "soul match" job
08:31 - Why “fake it ‘til you make it” can backfire
13:02 - Support, self-worth, and the privilege of searching
17:09 - How she kept moving while searching for what was next
20:36 - The moment that changed everything

How long does it -- or should it -- take to get a sense of belonging?
How do you describe who you are without saying you're a TCK?
How do you talk to your family -- nuclear or extended -- about your identity as a TCK?
Is the term "Third Culture Kid" more prevalent now than it was years ago?

Third Culture Kid author, consultant and researcher Megan Norton delves into these questions in this episode of the Destinations With Doni podcast.
"Foundationally, a story is not complete until it is told, heard and understood," she says.
For more info about her "A Culture Story" podcast and her new book "Belonging Beyond Borders: How Adult Third Culture Kids Can Cultivate a Sense of Belonging," go to adultthirdculturekid.com.

There’s the story of who we are as individuals, what we know and walk with, and the story other people create in their minds about who we are. We’re here to set the story straight…

Negra, como soy: I’m Afro-Latina is a show that explores the intricacies and flavors of the AfroLatin experience throughout the Spanish colonized world. We understand that the direct translation is “black like me,” in the feminine. Again, often life is about interpretation, and we’re here to help expand those interpretations, in this corner of life at least

A professional musician and educator, Sasamu is the youngest member of the Garifuna Collective, a band based in Belize. He plays the guitar, piano, and a variety of percussion instruments.

Sasamu talks about how the Garifuna people are a mixture of indigenous and African, and about the various tales of how Africans arrived on the shores of the Western Hemisphere. He also talks about his efforts to preserve the Garifuna culture, particularly the importance of preserving the Garifuna language, which even though it may be spoken among small groups around Central America, it's still "alive."

"The Garifuna language is alive, even if it's just five people who speak it, the mere fact remains that it is alive," he says. "And so our responsibility now is to teach the other generation to continue the language. We must recognize that we have a responsibility, and saying that it's dying instead of doing something about it means that we intend to let it die."

The term "code-switch" is becoming more prevalent in cultural circles, but according to Encyclopedia Britannica, it is the "process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting."

Meanwhile, a 2019 Harvard Business Review article says, "Broadly, code-switching involves adjusting one’s style of speech, appearance, behavior, and expression in ways that will optimize the comfort of others in exchange for fair treatment, quality service, and employment opportunities."
