Too Thai for America, Too American for Thailand

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 finding the confidence to simply be myself. I also talk about two beautiful Thai concepts—kreng jai and nam jai—and how they've shaped the way I see kindness, community, and the world around me.
If you've ever felt caught between two cultures, wondered if you were "enough," or tried to hide parts of yourself just to fit in, this episode is for you.
Because being Thai American—or any mixed identity—isn't half of two worlds. You're one whole person, and your story deserves to be told. 🩷🤎
