Catamania 37 - Immigration and How Overcoming Adversity Leads to Increased Confidence w. Jeni Raitz

In this episode, I am joined by my Brazilian twin, Jeni Raitz. Jeni is a lifestyle, fashion and travel blogger who immigrated to United States from Brazil solo.  In this episode, we discuss the struggles of immigrating to a new country solo, the beauty and benefits of being a citizen of a country like Canada and US, overcoming adversity and how that leads to increased confidence, the importance of being clear on your desires in a relationship, wedding and stepping out of your comfort zone.
