'Joanne and Vogue’s podcast kept me company, their familiar laughter carrying a part of home far away from home.' One year ago, I arrived in Vancouver with no familiar faces, no clear path, and a head full of dreams that felt just beyond reach. It’s a story that might feel familiar to anyone who has ever packed their life into a suitcase and stepped into the unknown, hoping the ground would appear beneath their feet. Every moment of discomfort was planting something that would one day bloom into the life I’m living today. I know I won’t stay in Vancouver forever.
