![🎙EPISODE 1 of @AChatWithUma is here! My Full Story: 0 to 26 🕊️
On this inaugural episode of A Chat with Uma, I begin the podcast by sharing my full story: a high-level overview of the overall journey that my life has taken so far, given my extremely non-traditional and rather eventful background. This episode serves as a basis and framework to understand the vantage point and perspective(s) that I’m coming from in this show. My story, told in full for the first time here, will give you insight into the questions I ask, the conversations I have, the topics I explore, and the depth of honesty that I navigate ideas with.

✨The chaos I was born into
✨Family background
✨Isolation, trauma, & neurodivergence in early childhood
