inbetweenish • bridges across cultures
If you're generally confused about where you belong, you may have just stumbled into the right place! The inbetweenish is exactly what it sounds like: it's about the space in-between, where it's neither here nor there, where you don't fit neatly into a box.
Through open conversations with people from all walks of life, we will share personal stories about growing up in numerous countries, amongst different faiths, speaking multiple languages, and integrating into new and diverse cultures. Join me, your host, Beatriz Nour, as I navigate the delicate dynamics of growing up inbetweenish.

Is home a person, a place, or a feeling?
On this episode of the inbetweenish I speak with Mona Hassan who shares her unique experiences growing up at the intersection of Austrian, South Korean, and Egyptian cultures. Mona takes us through her multicultural upbringing and emphasizes the importance of family acceptance in fostering a sense of belonging within society. We discuss the fascinating parallels between South Korean and Egyptian values and how they can sometimes clash with Austrian culture. At the end, Mona vulnerably shares her spiritual journey that has led her to redefine her sense of “home” and make sense of her belonging.
