Note to listeners: we're currently on hiatus, returning with new episodes in April 2025. Until then, we're sharing some of our favorite episodes from the archive each week.
Today, we're speaking with Algerian-French language coach Feriel Temmar, who is based in Paris. Feriel was born in Algeria, grew up in London, West Africa, and New York, and worked in Canada before leaving it all behind and starting over in France.
Reminder: I'm running a 10-day group trip to Jordan this May. The trip runs from May 18th to 27th and you can get all the information by visiting here. The last day to join our trip is Friday, April 18th.
Original Air Date: Oct 21, 2020.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Growing up in a multicultural home
- How moving to New York was not as fabulous as it sounds
- Why Feriel chose to pursue the path of “a real job,” inspired by her father’s career at the United Nations
- How Feriel’s now-beloved-career started by a question
- How “fake it till you make it” is the advice that worked really well for Feriel
- The secret to a successful—and sustainable(!)—freelancing career
