Join us in this episode as we share personal stories of growing up bilingual and juggling cultures.

We explore what it truly means to understand people from diverse backgrounds and how we can adapt to make connections more meaningful. From how we code-switch to the many ways we express ourselves in language.

We talk about reading between the lines—adjusting communication styles and becoming self-aware enough to bridge cultural gaps and offer support. It’s about recognizing the power of adaptability and empathy in connecting with others in ways that go beyond just words.

The Pursuit of Me podcast is a space for conversations about healthy communication and the world around us. Hosted by communicators, foodies, and travelers, Taryn Tatarinowicz and Julie Thomas.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how social media shapes our real-world connections, often in unexpected ways. We explore how scrolling and swiping can create a false sense of closeness, leaving us feeling more isolated than connected. From the awkwardness of face-to-face interactions to the pressure to “perform” online, we dig into how social platforms might be holding us back from authentic, fulfilling relationships. Tune in as we share stories, insights, and ideas on finding balance between the digital and real world connections.
