Why I Feel Differently in French, English, and Chinese

Do you ever feel like a different person when you switch languages? 

In this episode, I reflect on how English, French, and Chinese each bring out a unique side of my personality.

I share how moving to England changed my emotional expression, why French makes my voice softer and more poetic, and why Chinese keeps me honest and grounded.

💭 Because languages don’t just translate words — they translate emotions.
