47. What culture do you call your own? The one you were born in or the one you’ve grown?

In this episode, we dive into the tension between cultural pride and assimilation. Rosie wrestles with the question, “What even is my culture?” while Roula reflects on the challenges of making connections in a country where people don’t often invite you into their homes.

We’re talking:

⚡ The Lebanese culture shock that every guest experiences (in the best way)

⚡ Why some cultures are more welcoming than others and how that impacts newcomers

⚡ The fine line between adapting to a culture and erasing your identity

How do you navigate cultural identity? Do you lean into your roots, or do you find yourself blending in more than you expected? Let’s get into it.
