What does it really take to build a career—and a life—across borders? In this episode, I sit down with fellow University of Maryland alumna Analía Gomez Vidal for a powerful conversation on navigating international moves, the emotional toll of uprooting your life, and how to pivot your career with purpose. Analía shares her journey from Argentina to the US, how she transitioned from academia to entrepreneurship, and the challenges she’s faced while building a business as a visa holder. We also dive into the mental health impacts of constant change, pressures young professionals face, and what it means to chase a vision with courage. Whether you're considering a career shift, thinking of moving abroad, or just trying to figure out your next step, this episode is for you.
