Episode notes
Imagine leaving everything you know. Your career. Your family. Your comfort. Priya packed up her life, with her husband and two little boys, and landed in Australia with $45 in her pocket and a one way ticket. No safety net. No family around. No plan B. She had a PhD. Three degrees. Nine years as a university lecturer back in India. And her first job in Australia was at a betting call center getting sworn at by Aussie punters all day. Most people would've gone back home. Priya kept going. Six years later she had a six figure salary, a stable university job, a mortgage, and a life most immigrants dream about. And she walked away from all of it. Because her parents got COVID during lockdown, she couldn't travel, and she realized in that moment that no salary in the world was worth missing the people she loved most. So she started over. Again. And this time she built something that couldn't be taken away from her.
