Riri's Roaring 20's

Riri's Roaring 20's

My journey navigating life as a 22 year old Italian-Iranian-American pursuing an MBA program in the United States. This podcast serves as my personal audio journal and discussion of my development and experiences as it relates to navigating the journey of discovering one's self, spaces, and passions during their 20's. There will be lots of discussions about travel, discovery, self care, mental health, lifestyle, food, family, and more. My hope is to help others feel more connected as we collectively open our minds to the world around us during this decade.

An episode all about Jane Austen, Cassandra Austen, and a beautiful read by Gill Hornby that made me feel so many beautiful emotions from laughter to melancholia to hopeful and abundant love. I'll take you through a few quotes that resonated from Hornby's book titled 'Miss Austen.' What's a read that had you putting down the book to contemplate recently?


Lots of love xx
