Raised by Immigrants is a lifestyle podcast for the hyphenated generation of immigrant children that exist between one culture and another.
I'm your host, Kavya Sebastian. I'm the oldest daughter of immigrants, catcher of joy, and lover of stories. Join me as I hold space for us to bond over our unique experiences, invite guests to share their own insights, and design a life we love.
A combination of heartwarming, raw, and actionable, this podcast is a must-listen for people of color trying to break generational cycles and build a life they want to find joy in.

“party of one”: how to be alone but not lonely
Ever wonder why there's so much pressure to succeed as a child of immigrants? Today, we're talking about how interdependent immigrant society values in an independent Western society create internal chaos. Then, I'll share how spending time alone can be the retreat from that chaos and how you can date yourself to better stay true to your individual values - and not what others tell you.
