Show Notes
Perfection is overrated.
In this episode of Immigrantly, Saadia Khan sits down with Iranian-American podcaster Sheila Kazan (Small Talk with Sheila) to talk rom-com heroines, immigrant identity, the truth about Iran beyond headlines, and why your next pivot might be your best move.
They explore:
- The difference between grit and being stuck
- What social media gets wrong about happiness
- The “evil eye” and cultural humility
- Why reinvention isn’t failure, it’s evolution
It's smart, funny, and refreshingly honest.
