    Living in China changes you — whether you expect it to or not.

    Chopsticks & Chaos is a podcast about figuring life out while living between cultures. It’s an honest look at what it’s really like to build a life in China, told through real experiences, quiet moments, and uncomfortable questions we don’t always say out loud.

    We talk about identity, language, ambition, relationships, motherhood, and what happens when the place you live slowly reshapes the person you are. Some episodes are reflective, some messy, some funny — all of them real.

    This isn’t a guide to China. It’s a conversation about belonging, becoming, and learning how to sit with the chaos while holding onto who you are.

    If you’ve ever lived abroad, felt caught between worlds, or wondered how much a place can change a person, this podcast is for you.
