Getting out of your comfort zone. Having the courage to go against norms and what\\u2019s expected of you. Becoming a mother at 41. Cultural explorations and coming full circle.

\\n\\n

My guest today is Emilie Chung who co-founded Sinellia Tea with her husband in Guangdong, China.

\\n\\n

She left France (where she had grown up, born to a Chinese dad and British mum) for China when she was 30 years old and has never looked back since.

\\n\\n

She didn\'t speak Mandarin when she arrived and yet felt completely at home!

\\n\\n

In this episode, we talk about more than just tea. We spoke about how Emilie made decisions in her life and how she bucked perceptions as a woman who is unafraid to have some adventures of her own.

\\n\\n

She didn\'t let conventions dictate her life and didn\'t limit herself to doing what everyone did.

\\n\\n

Despite getting a degree to be a university teacher, Emilie is more than that.

\\n\\n

She is a coach, facilitator, university teacher and entrepreneur of her own tea business and a new mother (she had a baby at 41 when she never thought she would have one!). Today she can discuss tea and the finer aspects of tea in Mandarin!
