Redefining the Rules of Motherhood// Episode #1

What does it truly look like to raise a child where three languages and cultures converge? Cynthia, a Taiwanese-born Google engineering program manager living in Singapore with her Hungarian husband, offers a captivating glimpse into her multilingual, multicultural family life.

Wearing what she calls "multiple hats" throughout her day, Cynthia Wei navigates early morning global work meetings, acts as a "human snooze alarm" for her four-year-old daughter, and maintains family connections spanning three continents. Her household is a beautiful linguistic tapestry where Mandarin and Hungarian become "secret languages" between parent and child, occasionally leading to hilarious misunderstandings—like when her husband accidentally shouted "Happy New Year" in Mandarin instead of "Happy Birthday" to her 95-year-old grandmother.

Beyond the daily cultural juggling act, Cynthia's story takes a profound turn as she reveals her harrowing medical emergency just days after childbirth. A ruptured colon led to life-threatening infection, emergency surgery, and weeks in the hospital separated from her newborn. This experience fundamentally transformed her perspective: "Being alive is not a given," she reflects, explaining how this awareness helps her navigate parenthood's frustrations with deeper gratitude.

The family's commitment to lifelong learning stands out as they make it a point to learn something new together every year—from Cynthia learning to ski at 42 to studying Hungarian grammar. This approach models resilience for their daughter while creating meaningful family bonds. They've also built a rich support network in Singapore, particularly valuing the unexpected parent friendships formed during COVID lockdowns that began with socially distanced picnics.

Whether you're raising multilingual children, balancing a demanding career with parenthood, or simply interested in how families create meaning across cultural boundaries, Cynthia's story offers wisdom, humor, and a refreshing perspective on embracing life's beautiful complexity.

Cynthia: 0:00

My parent hat is basically served as a human physical snooze alarm. I will go there to her room every five minutes. Non-negotiable me time is super important. So we'll block it off and just communicate with my husband, saying, Hey, this is the time I need to be doing something for myself. So can you help out with other stuff? And I was like, oh, maybe delivery was just not so comfortable, right? And then the recovery is hard. So even though I was feeling increasingly more and more uncomfortable, I thought it was normal. And until the fifth day, I got discharged from the hospital, went home, um completely off, uh, painkiller from the drip. And that was the time when I can feel everything.

Edit: 0:50

Let me start with a mind-blowing fact. More than half of the world's population speaks more than one language at home. That means most of us are living in a beautiful blend of cultures, stories, and let's be honest, a little bit of chaos. But here's the real question. What does it actually look like to raise a child in a home where three languages and cultures meet, all while running a tech carrier and keeping family ties strong across continents? Today we are diving into the real unfeat story of Cynthia, a powerhouse mom, an engineering program manager at Google, and self-declared global citizen. Her story is a real masterclass in resilience, laughter, and the kind of everyday magic that comes from juggling motherhood, ambition, and identity. Hello, I'm Edith, and welcome to my community, the Juggleverse, Moms Balance It All. Before we jump in, please do me a favor: hit subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a mom who is juggling it all, just like me and you. Cynthia, welcome to the Juggleverse.

Cynthia: 1:59

Hi, thank you, Edit. Thanks for having me.

Edit: 2:02

Let's start with a very quick question. Uh, what's one thing, big or small, that you've learned recently?

Cynthia: 2:09

Big or small that I learned recently about myself, family, anything. Or anything. Fresh top of my from my mind, I was literally I order a Hungarian grammar book. I'm learning Hungarian now. First of all, from Duolingo, and I realized the information is very like active life, and I wanted to get to know more from the structure because I grew up in Asia. I need like structured textbook style to help me structure the system in my brain. So I actually ordered a heavy-duty, I think, 400-page Hungarian grammar book. It just got delivered three days ago. Wow. It was uh like a Bible. I open it up. Wow. Trying to read through it. And my husband's Hungarian, so he was like, oh, don't show that to me. It's his traumatic uh traumatized uh childhood. So he refused to see any more Hungarian grammar. So that's how difficult it is.

Edit: 3:01

Wow, it's very interesting. Okay, but first of all, um actually your story spans along continents, right? Yes. You were born in Taiwan. Yes. You spent some time in the US and in Singapore now. Yes. What does this experience uh look like for you and how did it shape the one who you are today?

Cynthia: 3:21

I was born and raised in Taiwan, and then uh after my uh college time, I decided to pursue my master's in the US. So I lived in the US and worked there for three, four years. But all in all, my heart is still in Asia, so I decided to move back to Asia to find my roots, stay closer to the family in the region, uh, and then moved back to Taiwan, moved to Singapore uh with my current job, which is Google, um Google Engineering um program manager at Google Maps. And all in all, that actually really helped me to have a different perspective from Asia to the US and then to Singapore, where it's like full of very rich third cultural aspects. And then my background is actually political science and anthropology. So it sounds really like a huge contrast. Like how did I shift from humanity to engineering work? Uh, but our product, Google Maps, is really like providing access to information to people and then help them to navigate the world, explore the world. So a lot of them is making people safe, feel safe to explore the things around them. So that's also like connecting people and places. Uh, we're hoping to build this product, make sure the map data is fresh enough to assist people to get around, and then that can, I don't know, just like make the world a better place. So I think that's where my like humanity, social science part of me can really connect to my work now.

Edit: 4:43

So you are saying that there's a balance uh between social sciences and the engineering and humanities. Yeah, absolutely.

Cynthia: 4:49

Yes, yes. I think tech is should be helping people to be grounded, find their roots, and connect to the real world instead of like pulling them away from each other.

Edit: 4:59

What does uh juggling it all mean to you day to day? Balancing motherhood, work, and being a wife.

Cynthia: 5:07

I think we're all for me. I have multiple heads. Sometimes like a small head, sometimes a big head, and we're shifting it every second or wearing everything stacked up simultaneously. So from a typical day, I'll just say in the beginning, when I wake up, I'm wearing the me hat, trying to like get out of the bed, organize myself so I don't look like a cave woman walking around. And then first, I will actually uh wear my company hat, you know, like my career hat, because we we are a global company and my counterparts sit in the US, they sit in uh Europe. So sometimes overnight a lot of things happen. I had to get back to the message and the email or any escalation first thing. So I'll like freshen up myself, wear my company head, you know, brush my teeth, and then tap into work, respond to the priority messages, and then um, sometimes we have meetings from as early as 7:30 a.m. in the morning and then until like nine. So I'll just, you know, freshen up, lock myself in the room, tackle my work first, and then come out and greet the family. And then in the meantime, if there is a break, I will like quickly switch on to my uh parent hat and then go to my daughter's room. I mean, we're really, really thankful that my uh my daughter is a very sound sleeper, sometimes even too much. It's impossible to wake her up. So my parent hat is basically served as a human physical snooze alarm. I will go there to her room every five minutes. First opening up the door. She's for now, right? She's for now for the year now, yeah. And then opening the window, open the door, make all the noise, pull over her blanket, turn off the air con, trying to get her up, and I have to do it multiple times. And at the same time, um, after that, I have to, meanwhile, my daughter is waking up, brushing her teeth, getting through her morning routine, and then I'll take this opportunity to preview my day and then work with my husband when he has time to do certain things, when I have work commitment. How can we juggle our schedule? So, like a rundown of the day. Because our daughter is uh four and a half year old, but she has an even more active social schedule than us. So she's having play day, birthday party, extracurriculum, and so on. And throughout the day, go to the office after we drop her off. I sometimes have to wear my daughter's hat. Like as a daughter, because I have parents living overseas from us. I want to make sure that they're okay. So checking with them, make sure they're feeling fine, what they're doing, and so on, is also like part of the things I'm doing. Yeah, that's more about it. And then coming back, most importantly, is I need to wear my me hat again to find time for myself, to decompress everything. So these are all the hats I'm shuffling throughout the day.

Edit: 7:54

Yeah, as you mentioned, your family is far away from here. How can you manage to be in touch with them, with the loved ones? And on the other hand, how could you manage to build a network, a supportive network in a new country?

Cynthia: 8:09

Yeah, I really miss my parents. So um, as I mentioned previously, I think I live in Taiwan and then uh moved to the US. The reason why I moved to the US is also because we have family members in the US, and then my husband is Hungarian, so my in-laws are in Hungary, and then my husband's cousin lives in France, UK, all over the places. How can we find time? It's almost impossible, right? But I think thankfully we have very um support work schedule, supportive like a work, and our work schedule can be flexible, so we always can find like about a few weeks to travel to visit them. And on top of that, we get to stay connected via social media, like video calls, messages just to check in, sharing like useful information, make sure that we can help each other out. And whenever we have time, we visit them, or the other way around, we open up our place in Singapore to host all the families to make sure that they feel comfortable, and then Singapore becomes an extended home for them to visit. So these are the ways we try to compensate. And then whenever we're together, we didn't just hang out and eat. We try to plan small road trips together to create an additional core memory for my parents and my daughter to connect with them. Yeah, like a cultural immersion.

Edit: 9:28

When life gets busy, like social commitments, um, shifting schedules and all the things. What's your go-to strategy for keeping it together somehow, or at least pretending it?

Cynthia: 9:41

I think having a very organized shared calendar across the family is very, very useful. I assume it's Google Calendar. Yes, we use Google Calendar. So I create an entry for my husband and I both had edit rice, and then whenever we sign up, our daughter for something, we'll update there. And then at the same time, because she's four and a half year old, we will have to clean up one of our like calendar to be with her, um, to take her somewhere and so on. And then that's also a very useful way to block our own time. Non-negotiable me time is super important. So we'll block it off and just communicate with my husband, saying, hey, this is the time I need to be doing something for myself. So can you help out with other stuff? So these are the things that uh we make it clear and then we make sure there is no gap. And I also wanted to call out one thing that Singapore has very good support because help is available. So for working parents, really like you have someone helping out with just literally bring the empty glass to the sink and then rinse it off and then load it into the dishwasher. This three-minute like break time helped a lot.

Edit: 10:50

Three languages at home. I have to ask. Sorry for that. But what's the funniest or most unexpected thing that's happened as you were raised, raising a trilingual kid, so to say?

Cynthia: 11:04

So I speak Mandarin to my daughter at home, because I'm Taiwanese, and then my husband's Hungarian, and then by right, he speaks Hungarian with our daughter, and our daughter uses English at school. So it's really sometimes a storm spinning around. She will mix Hungarian words with Taiwanese, um, Taiwanese Chinese Mandarin word with Taiwanese accent, and sometimes English, but with a hint of singlish in it. So it's really a big mesh. But it's really cool that Mandarin Chinese become my secret language to my daughter, and then Hungarian become another secret language between my uh my husband and my daughter. But sometimes we could be just heard in the household. If there is a secret recorder, it would be us shouting at each other or talking to my daughter from the other side of the house in a different language while the other person has is complete clueless. Could be the simplest thing. And then we have to translate that into English so the third person can help. Either my husband or myself, or our very, very like uh kind helper. So sometimes it's, I don't know, we have to repeat the same thing over and over. And then now my uh daughter is fluent in in Mandarin on a like speaking level, and and Hungarian, she's trying to pick up. So she used a lot of different languages. And me and my husband are also making an effort to learn each other's language. So I'm learning Hungarian now, as I mentioned earlier, and my husband's um also learning Chinese. And we get things wrong all the time, almost 100%. So my daughter will be the one, jump dive's like, Mama, that's not wrong. What happened to your R? You know, that Hungarian R is extremely difficult for Asians to try to pronounce it. And meanwhile, my husband's Chinese has interesting intonations, which could be could mean like completely different stuff. Yeah. So but I I do appreciate him making an effort, you know, learning the language of our own culture.

Edit: 12:59

But how do you see this multicultural environment shaping your daughter's sense of herself and actually your family dynamic?

Cynthia: 13:11

It's really cool. So it's uh it's mixed with some um laughter, mostly laughter, and then some like planning chaos chaos because we're like trying to get one thing done in one language and then have to use all three to communicate. And my daughter speaks the language, and then she's proudly Taiwanese and Hungarian both. And then somehow she realized uh when we traveled to Hungary in Taiwan or in Singapore, she realized she has a superpower. She can communicate with people, she can convince them, she gets to get away with so many good stuff. People are literally like impressed and then appreciate a tiny little four and a half-year-old girl trying to speak up using their language. And then she realized this is a good thing. So she's very, very proud. She kept on telling people I speak Hungarian, Taiwanese, and English. And then she's also learning Japanese at school. So I think it's perfect. She is the best of all the worlds together combined. So speaking all kinds of language and us trying to talk to each other in each other's native language is really funny because uh my grandma is 95-year-old and then she lives in the US and she doesn't speak Hungarian and her English is limited. So there's one time over video chat, um, my husband was trying to wish my grandma uh happy birthday. And then he thought he got a hang of he was like, I'm I'm nailing this, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna shout so loud to uh to Cynthia's grandma and wish her a happy birthday. And guess what happened? He shouted in Mandarin, Happy New Year! And then my grandma was completely confused. He's already old but still sharp. And he was like, What is this occasion we're celebrating now? So the entire chat room just went into like utterly silence for like three seconds. And then I realized my husband was trying to say happy birthday to her.

Edit: 15:03

Yeah, yes, actually, he intended to, right? Yeah, he had a very good intention.

Cynthia: 15:08

But the outburst of energy turned out to be uh happy new year.

Edit: 15:12

So um you faced uh a major health scare after your daughter was born. Um would you please be willing to share how it shaped your life and changed your life, maybe?

Cynthia: 15:25

Yeah. That was it like. So I had an emergency cesarean about four and a half years ago when I delivered my daughter, which is normal because it, you know, sometimes it just didn't go out that well, and I even need a surgery. But actually, to this day, we still don't know what happened, even with all the analysis the doctor had done. Either during the push or the stress, um, there's some part of my intestine that was maybe just more weak to begin with. Um, so as a result of the delivery, my colon uh rupture. It burst basically with a pinhole, but nobody could notice at the time. So after the procedure, doctors stitched me back, and I was resting in the uh post-surgical delivery ward for a few days, but it's my first time delivering. I didn't know the pain level, I have no reference. I was like, oh, maybe delivery was just not so comfortable, right? And then the recovery is hard. So even though I was feeling increasingly more and more uncomfortable, I thought it was normal. And until the fifth day, uh, I got discharged from the hospital, went home. I'm completely off uh painkiller from the drip. And that was the time when I can feel everything. It was really painful. Uh, I couldn't rest the entire night. My resting heart rate was at 125 laying down, like I'm running a marathon. And I told my husband that was only one night at home, and we have a newborn, six days old. And I was like, take me to the doctor. We we need to find out what it is. I'm in huge pain, couldn't function, couldn't eat, couldn't do anything. We went back to the doctor. Doctor asked me to rest a little bit and then offered me a full CT scan, uh, only later to find out that my entire abdominal is filled with fluid and like really, really nasty stuff with a full infection. So the decision was that I need to have a surgery to literally save my life on the spot. So they arranged an operating theater, surgeon showed up, everybody showed up, and then I was transferred to another big hospital uh from the original uh clinic. Long story short, I survived. And I have another surgical scar that's uh perpendicular to my cesarean. So I have I basically at that time I had two scars that's more than 15 centimeters, and I woke up in ICU because that's also during COVID. So there's no like proper ward, and then the ICU was the place I have because I need to plug in with I think six, seven different tubes, uh, and all the beeping machines, pumping things, sucking all the fluid. And I have 22 staples on my belly. Basically, I feel like a Frankenstein. Yeah, during COVID, also my husband couldn't visit me all the time. He gets to stop by at the ward maybe once a day for 30 minutes max. Uh, and then we have a newborn at home, so he had to be a new father alone. Yeah, but fast forward after the surgery. Thankfully, uh, I think my body helped out, helped me out a lot. And with the excellent doctor, excellent hospital, I recovered. How long was the recovery? Leaving the hospital, I would stay eight days in ICU and another one week. So total two weeks in the hospital. And the recovery is long because we I carried the baby for nine months. That's already a huge hit to my body, and then delivery, and then my hormone was all over the places at that point, and I had a huge other scar with they have to cut out about 70 centimeter 30 centimeters of my column and intestine. So I'm my body was a mess. So the recovery itself, um, physical recovery for the scar-wise, maybe six months, and then end-to-end the muscle strength and everything. I feel like it took me about two to three years to build back myself before I gave birth.

Edit: 19:31

And how about the emotional recovery? Emotional recovery. That's a very what was the lesson learned? That's a very important thing to do. First, even if it's a good thing.

Cynthia: 19:41

That's a very interesting point because um I gave birth and then I was immediately removed from my daughter. So the motherhood part never kicked in. I was having a six vacation at the hospital and I didn't even realize I'm a mother now. So my connection with my daughter really only happens after I went home, after the surgery, after the second surgery. The mother nature never kicked in right away. I look at her thinking like, oh wow, this is a reality. And then it's only after I spent so much time with her, growing with her, the mother and daughter bond actually show up. And fast forward now that I look back when the at the time when I was really sick until now, if I were there no more, I actually wouldn't have a chance to do all this kind of stuff and see my daughter grow at all. I wouldn't have, I would have missed everything. So sometimes when I'm like raging, yelling at my daughter, or wanting to yell at my daughter, you know, just because tantrums. I look at this and I some part of my brain would just like, hey, it's okay, because you almost wouldn't have the chance to nag at her, yell at her, you know, get mad at her. So actually, none of that matters now. So I was able to detach from the emotion, you know, like the small daily chores and just think about you have an opportunity to fight with your daughter or get angry at her, it's already a blessing.

Edit: 21:11

But do you have to remind yourself frequently for that?

Cynthia: 21:14

Um, actually, not really. I feel like that traumatic event really helped me to feel thankful and cherish. Yeah. Sometimes we're always our uh parents' kid, right? But they still nag at us. And then sometimes I'm just thinking, like, ah, again. But as soon as I feel that, it's a blessing to have someone nagging at you. Because uh being alive is not a given. So that's my biggest takeaway.

Edit: 21:41

You and your family um make it a point to learn something new every year, right? What is the newest thing you you are learning?

Cynthia: 21:49

Wow, this year, um you mentioned Hungarian. Yeah, I mentioned this is for you. So we wanted to, the reason why we set up this goal for ourselves is we feel like it's never too old to learn something. And then we see our daughter grow so fast, and then we also wanted to not always be at a parent teacher perspective, telling her what she needs to learn. At the same time, we need to make effort and learning things with her. So she will see us trying, and then she will see us failing, and then she will see us fixing it through the entire process because learning and championing one thing is not easy. You need practice. So we wanted to be in the same situation with her, learning together. So this year we actually um I learned ski the first time in my life, and I'm 42 year old. Um, my success metrics was not breaking a bone and being able to go slide downhill. So I think that's a success. Like I came back. Yes, yes. I came back from the ski trip like in one piece. And then my daughter also learned how to ski. She's a natural skier. Um, it just looks so easy for her. And then I think she also appreciated the effort that I learned with her.

Edit: 23:02

Cynthia, how do you nurture curiosity um and love of learning in your daughter with all these juggling acts around you?

Cynthia: 23:12

I think for kids, um, everything is new, right? So it's it's almost um natural for them to learn anything, to stay curious. What we actually wanted to focus is um to let her know and feel safe about being curious. Because I think humans are very much risk adverse. So if you you try to do something uh out of curiosity and then you had a setback, usually you wouldn't try another time because you're scared of the consequences uh and thinking things might go wrong and so on. But we wanted to do things with her and then make her feel safe to try. Because if the unknowns become known, we end up expanding our knowledge and then things are not scary anymore. And then sometimes, like I said, like there's always setback, but then setback is not a bad thing because with the setback, you found your boundary. And then at least you know the boundary is over there, and then you know where to push. The next thing to do is maybe you can feel safe to try again. And then you push your boundary, and then later the boundary will probably just get expanded. So we want to make sure that she knows that.

Edit: 24:23

But as parents, you also show examples to her maintaining curiosity.

Cynthia: 24:30

Learning how to ski originates from parents. Yes. Learning how to ski, learning Hungarian, and then uh recently we also pick up tennis. Uh, I learned tennis before, but I haven't picked up a record for 30 years. So now we're doing it again, and we're also sharing with our daughter the excitement that we have about reconnecting with the sports. And and she's also very excited. She tried to pick up badminton because it's just a lot lighter to start with. Yeah. So doing things together and be curious is kind of like our family motto. Uh, what's one mom feel that you are you can laugh right now about? There's so many of them. I think like speaking Chinese as a it's not really a fail, but it was just like a very awkward situation. So Zoe um is my daughter's name. She um talked to me in Chinese, and sometimes she, when she was younger, she feels like Chinese is only uh a language that I will understand, but she wouldn't assume the environment. Other people will also understand as well. But sometimes when we go to Taiwan on the foot flight of uh Taiwanese people, 99% of the people speak Chinese, but she didn't register that. She feels like we're still in Singapore, Hungary. So there's one time when we're getting off the airplane, she suddenly very loudly uh in Mandarin says, Hey mama, why is the uncle in from had no hair at all? And that was the time we're like, you know, we're in trouble. Yeah. Awkward situation. Yeah, awkward situation. But thankfully the flight is very loud.

Edit: 26:05

So I'm still interested that um after a long day, how can you push the and hit the reset button on you? Reset button is there? Yeah, somehow you can relax and I try to let it go.

Cynthia: 26:21

I try to wear my me hat, and then I have because of all the like surgical histories and so on, I have non-negotiable physical training time. So I go to PT twice a week. That's something that I know is definitely a good investment to keep my health. And our body is the most important vehicle to allow us to experience anything, and then you know, spiritually or physically. So the workout time is non-negotiable, and I can detach 100% from the rest of the things. And then at the same time, if there is no um not enough time with only 15 to 20 minutes, I love going for a walk. Uh, and in Tombaru, it's really a good neighborhood. We're really thankful. It's really green and it has very charming buildings. So going out for a walk in Tombaru in the evening is one way that I can always um detach from the chaos in life and then the juggling, it can just be present and looking at people, go to the park, even take out trash is a is a good break for me as well. How about friends? Friends are amazing. I think I might have mentioned earlier that I'm the only child. So growing up, other than family, friends is my backbone. Uh, and then we're really, really fortunate that um within our professional network, I have a very supportive and excellent coworker, and then that helped to introduce me to lots of other uh excellent friends in the same field. And then I also connect with new friends uh via some hobby, like I love festival, art festival exhibitions, and have a lot of uh humanity um art-loving friends. Makes Singapore a home for me, like a safe place, and then you can exchange spiritually with uh like-minded people. Another very interesting group of friends is someone uh somewhere where I have have not expected because like I'm a parent for a four and a half-year-old. Uh, and then I never thought I would have parent friends. But in Chompar. You mean your daughters friends' parents, right? Yes. Or like just friends with other parents, because I never I never thought I would. Playground or something. Yeah. Exactly. And I thought this is very uh superficial, we're never going to connect deeply just because it's not, this doesn't seem like super organic. But somehow in Singapore, in our little community of Chombaru, uh, we get to meet so many really diverse and super smart uh and kind people as neighbors and friends. And our daughter becomes friends with their kids, and then we become friends with the parents. There's always laughter, like very intellectual conversations and excellent outings where everybody in the family can enjoy. It's funny that to mention that I think with Singapore being such a busy hub, people always go in and out and travel for work. I would say it's really the COVID lockdown that helped us to bond so well. Because that was one, two years where we were not going anywhere. So we actually met through these excellent friends from doing picnic in the park. And then, as before you know it, our picnic maps, uh like the blanket become separate ones with two meters apart to a combined massive one. That's how we actually grew our network and really like see people eye to eye. Nobody's in a rush and connect with people. Yeah, so COVID is a horrible event for the world, but then for us, this is the silver lining.

Edit: 29:58

Is there something You wish more people understood about being um a working mom. Yeah, absolutely.

Cynthia: 30:07

Sometimes I feel like people assume working moms are so busy, or maybe we appear to be busy because we're always jumping out. But it makes difference. It makes a huge difference. Yeah. We're always doing stuff, wearing different hats. And I also feel like sometimes people are shy or intimidated to reach out just because they didn't want to disturb um our usual live routine. They feel like having a kid will make us less available. I think all of these might be true, but I want to um remind the working moms to like do our own part. Like never be shy to reach out. Just because your friend feels shy reaching out to you doesn't mean you should let it drift apart. Reach out to your friends, even if you're unavailable, ask them how they're doing. I think mutually people will appreciate this connection. And just don't let your close friend feel off grid for you.

Edit: 31:04

Cynthia, thank you so much for being here and to being so honest with me.

Cynthia: 31:09

No, pleasure is all mine. Thank you so much for having me here so I can open up to more audience, more people who are interested in this subject. And then thank you so much for being your friend and hearing me out. My pleasure.
