Don't Shrink to Fit: Empowering and inspiring women one story at a time.

Living between two worlds: The Immigrant Experience with Fabiola Noriega-Daneri

Claudia Noriega-Bernstein Season 3 Episode 109

What does it mean to belong? For many immigrants, the answer is complicated. In this episode of Don't Shrink to Fit, I sit down with Fabiola Noriega-Danera, who shares her powerful journey of immigrating to the U.S., moving back to Peru, and then returning once again—only to realize that a sense of home isn’t tied to a place, but to who we are.

We dive into the emotional complexities of feeling torn between two cultures, the struggle of fitting in vs. belonging, and the resilience it takes to start over. Fabiola’s story is one of courage, adaptability, and self-discovery, shedding light on the untold realities of many immigrants who must navigate new identities while holding on to their roots.

In this conversation, we explore:
✔ The internal battle of not fully belonging anywhere
✔ The sacrifices and emotional toll of leaving everything behind
✔ How culture shock affects us—both when arriving and when returning home
✔ The importance of honoring our roots while embracing new opportunities

Whether you’re an immigrant yourself, know someone who is, or simply want to better understand the immigrant experience, this episode will give you a new perspective on identity, resilience, and what it truly means to create a home within yourself.
