Our latest episode of the all-English podcast Between Here & There, we are joined by Jane W. Wang, a self-actualization coach for “third-culture” people. What third culture means is the hybrid of two separate cultures that one may experience growing up. That means all of us here in this photo. In this episode, Jane helps us understand our cross-cultural identities and gives us some constructs to understand ourselves better as people who will always feel “between here and there” Where do we belong? How do we navigate conflicting cultural values? Is there a "right" way to communicate? What is “cultural intelligence?”
Jane is a very compassionate and insightful coach with a rich personal journey of self exploration. You can find out more about her on her personal website:

Looking at this group photo does make me a bit wistful, as this was taken right after our interview which happened about a month ago, when we were all still talking about Taiwan as ‘the luckiest place to be’ and when we can be outside without a mask mandate. It’s interesting to listen to the episode now in light of all that’s happened recently, but it makes some of Jane’s messages even more relevant.
