It Only Happens to Earnny

Welcome to the Dead Parent Club.   Not exactly a club any of us asked to join. (I also hate it here) In this episode, I open up about losing my dad, what grief has looked like over the past year, and the unexpected lessons it taught me about friendship, family, faith, and making the most of the time we have with the people we love. On a different note, Happy Fourth of July ❤️🤍💙 and happy 250th b...

In this week's episode of  It Only Happens to Earnny , I'm sharing one of the most personal parts of my journey: growing up as a Thai American in a small town and struggling to figure out where I belonged. From hating my long Thai name and trying to fit in during high school to learning that I didn't have to choose between being Thai or American, this episode is about identity, culture, and findin...

After a conversation with an old friend, I found myself remembering all the weird, funny, and sometimes confusing things that happened when I first moved from Thailand to America. In this episode, I'm sharing stories from middle school, talking about the questions people used to ask me about Thailand, and reflecting on some of the cultural differences that still make me laugh today. From &quot...

Is it Earn or Earnny? Which one is my real name? In this week’s episode, I share the story behind my name, my move from Thailand to America, and the different versions of myself I’ve had to grow through along the way. We talk about people-pleasing, cultural expectations, finding your voice, and learning that you don’t have to stay the same person forever. Sometimes growth looks as small as changin...

Starting over in my late 20s wasn’t part of the plan… but maybe that’s the point. In this episode, I open up about career burnout, leaving the lab, traveling during COVID, people-pleasing, being told “maybe in 10 years you could have my job,” and the moment I realized I wanted more for my life. Turning my pain into my podcast, I talk about why I’m rethinking everything-from IT to possibly dental s...

An honest update on why this week's episode didn't go as planned. I talk about my first world's problem of feeling stuck in my career path and also my struggle with school...and learning when to stop forcing things that don't feel right- including my episode about my mom. I know it's a short one. But this is real talk.

After last week's heavy episode, this one here is a check-in. A real conversation about where I am with grief, identity, and being in that "in-between" phase of life- where nothing feels certain, and you are still figuring things out. If you have been feeling stuck, lost, or questioning your next step... this episode is for you. A reminder to trust yourself, start anyway, and keep go...

For the past month, I’ve been sharing pieces of my story—what it was like moving to America, navigating life, and finding my place. But there’s been one person at the center of it all that I haven’t fully talked about… until now . This episode is for my dad. On April 25, it will mark one year since his passing. So today, in this episode, I’m honoring him the best way I know how—by telling his stor...

From last week's cliffhanger... I finally opening up about the moment my mom told us she was leaving to go back to Thailand after only nearly a year of moving to USA. What felt like abandonment as a kid... looks very different to me now as an adult. This episode is about holding both truths- understanding someone's choices while still healing from how it affected you. And if you listened t...

Sometimes it takes someone from your past to remind you how far you've come. In this episode, I reflect on what felt like when I first moved to the U.S- the version of me who was just trying to figure it all out... while realizing I might just be one of the few to really trying to figure this new chapter of my life in a different country. With my dear, long-time friend visiting again , it brou...

I remember getting on a plane and realizing... I didn't even know where this country was on the map- but I was going. In this episode, I share what life was like growing up in Thailand, my relationship with my mom, and how everything changed after moving to the U.S. at 12. This isn't for sympathy- it's just my story. Because sometimes life puts you in between... like sitting in the mid...

This is me finally starting. In this first episode, I share who I am, where I come from, and why it took me five years to press record. From growing up Thai-American to figuring out life in a small town, this is just the beginning of something I have been holding onto for a long time. If you feel like you are still figuring it all out too... you are not alone.
