In this empowering episode of the Small Victories Podcast, Pauline Victoria sits down with Urmi Hossain—a multicultural, multilingual, and multi-passionate powerhouse. Born in Italy to Bengali parents and now based in Canada, Urmi shares her story of navigating identity, embracing her full self, and encouraging others to invest in who they are becoming.
A self-published author, blogger, speaker, and financial services professional, Urmi blends her analytical mind with a passionate heart for women’s empowerment. From cultural conflict to clarity, from self-doubt to self-expression, Urmi reminds us that your uniqueness isn’t something to hide—it’s your greatest strength.
Whether you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong, or you’re unsure how your many passions fit together, this episode will inspire you to stop choosing one part of yourself over another—and instead create your own box, own your story, and step into your potential.
Key Takeaways:
Your cultural background doesn't need to fit in a box—it can be a bridge. Use your multicultural experiences as a strength that allows deeper understanding and connection.
Your identity is a choice, not a label. You get to define who you are, not just by heritage, but by intention and alignment with your values.
Investing in yourself is a form of empowerment. Whether through education, personal development, or hobbies, pouring into yourself sets the foundation for fulfillment.
Vision boards are more than crafts—they’re declarations of intent. Putting your dreams into visual form makes them real, personal, and actionable.
Reflection Questions for the Listener:
Where in your life are you still trying to fit into a box that no longer serves you?
What is one small but powerful way you can invest in yourself this week?
