A solo podcast with Isis

Common Edges

Short episodes about staying curious and evolving as life changes. Each one starts with something we learned growing up between cultures, then asks what still works now: at work, in relationships, in identity, and in trying new things.

Just Start: Going Solo

Why I’m back on my own, and what happens when you stop overthinking and just do the thing.

Your host

Hi, I’m Isis.

I’m a first-gen 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.

  • Solo episodes

    10 to 20 minutes, one idea each. 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.

  • Reflections

    Work, identity, relationships, creativity, and technology, through the lens of growing up in between.
