Transcript

Hi, I'm Asees Sethi Anand—a woman whose journey spans continents and cultures. Welcome to my podcast, Sakura, Sikhi, & Strength, where I share life experiences and lessons I wish someone had told me when I was younger. I speak directly to those of you establishing careers, starting families, and caring for loved ones while chasing your own evolving definition of success. 

With Punjabi origins, I was born in Japan, raised in Los Angeles, educated in multiple countries and now balance a career and family life, here in New York City. As a second-generation immigrant and third-culture kid, I understand the unique space between cultures that shape our identities. 

At the heart of this show are resilience and our evolving selves. How do we develop strength through change? What enables us to rise again when life knocks us down? How do we embrace our multifaceted identities and pass these qualities onto our families and communities? How do our diverse backgrounds shape our ability to adapt and thrive? 

With each session, I’ll explore how we navigate life when our goals and circumstances are constantly changing. Sometimes, I’ll host guests with expertise on particular topics and other times, I’ll share triumphs and challenges from my personal and professional journey.  

Join me every week as we explore these ideas together.
