The Layers of Identity Abroad

From Copenhagen to Dubai, Ghana to Portugal, Mariam Navaid Ottimofiore shares the shift that transformed her life as a globally mobile family and helped each move feel intentional and  how each place becomes a layer of who we are—shaping our views on everything from taxation to tolerance. She brings us into the world of linguistic empathy and explains why speaking multiple languages doesn't just open doors, it creates different versions of ourselves.

In this episode:

• Recognizing the privilege of experiencing multiple corners of the world, while also acknowledging the realities

• What internationally mobile people bring to their host communities

• Linguistic empathy and how speaking different languages transforms who you are

• Choosing your mindset over your circumstances, whether navigating four-hour traffic in Accra or bureaucracy in a new language
