Just Start: Going Solo
Why I’m starting this one on my own, and what happens when you stop overthinking and just do the thing.
A podcast with Isis, joined by Mirna
Common Edges
Short episodes about staying curious and evolving as life changes. Some start with something we learned growing up between cultures, some with this week’s struggle, some with something bigger that’s hitting all of us. Each one asks what still fits now: at work, in relationships, in trying new things, and everything in between.

Hi, I’m Isis.
I’m a first-gen Latina, the daughter of immigrants. I grew up between cultures, learning rules that made sense at home and didn’t always fit anywhere else.
I’m not an expert or a therapist. I’m curious, and I’m trying things out loud. Some episodes are reflections, some are experiments, and all of them are questions I’m still working through.
Co-host
And this is Mirna.
Mirna grew up in an immigrant family too, and Common Edges started as conversations between the two of us. The episodes we do together are the ones where I get talked out of my own conclusions.

Solo episodes
10 to 20 minutes, one idea each: work, identity, relationships, creativity. The lesson, where it came from, where it breaks now, and what I’m trying instead.
-
I tried it
Small experiments with new habits, tools, and ways of doing things, and an honest report on how they went.

With Mirna
Some episodes are a conversation with Mirna. Same question, two people who grew up in immigrant families, and usually two different answers.
