Episode 4 - Starting over: When your experience doesn't count

You arrive with experience, degrees, confidence, a version of yourself that made sense somewhere else… and suddenly, none of it seems to translate the same way. In this episode of Le Goûter , Sarah and Natalia talk about what it really feels like to start over in a new country, from rebuilding careers and taking jobs they never imagined doing, to navigating a culture that doesn’t immediately recognize who they are or what they’ve done before. We talk about “Canadian experience,” losing professional identity, financial reality, language barriers, confidence, and the quiet emotional weight of having to prove yourself all over again. Not dramatically, just slowly, day after day. A conversation about immigration, adaptation, ambition, and the strange feeling of knowing exactly who you are… while the world around you doesn’t yet see it. ☕ Le Goûter is a conversation series about identity, ambition, and the parts of life we don’t always say out loud.
