There are reason why Mike keeps the record button pressed throughout his time with these amazing guests. There might be something that puts the cherry on the top of the ice cream sundae .. in this case .. quite a few cherries. Karina or should I say Kalimba, drops another treasure chest and talks about her real name and challenges growing up with it. There is definitely a multitude around the world that can relate! (2:00) Karina and Mike were all but done with their talk, when she divulged a personal story of her real name and the troubles that ensued as she navigated her TCK world. She shares a stunning story that reveals how sad and broken our world is (5:00), and the demands people make in knowing why she has the name she has. She feels safe enough to unravel the mystery for listeners and talks about how parents should think about the impact it has on children when naming them (12:35). Mike tells his wife’s name story (17:00), and they trade a few more name stories and talk about how we feel safe among TCK’s where we accept all our odd names without judgment (20:30). Karina's services are available on her website here: https://expatworldpsychologist.com/en/home/ Mike can be contacted here, and would love it if you signe up to get access to early bird rewards on his Kickstarter campaign starting in less than a month: https://sullyworks.com/
