What happens when cultural norms collide in a new country? In this insightful episode, Dr. Mahboub Siddiqui shares his powerful immigration journey from Saudi Arabia to Canada, blending humor and wisdom. A cheek kiss gone wrong becomes a metaphor for navigating identity between cultures. Dr. Siddiqui reflects on landing in snowy Canada, adjusting to new social norms, and breaking generational cycles for his children.
Through community volunteering, mentoring newcomers, and leading in healthcare, Dr. Siddiqui found belonging and purpose. He now coaches others with a strengths-based, holistic wellness approach that asks, "What's strong with you?"instead of "What's wrong with you?"
Perfect for newcomers, immigrants, or anyone interested in cross-cultural living, healthcare leadership, or wellness coaching in Canada.
