Hi friends, welcome to the Wadi Sabi podcast.

Shanina Shike, a friend of mine who is known as a renowned model wellness figure actress.

And of course, cover star is here to chat with us today.

We go in deep talking about her new baby on the way,

what she is hoping for her child to see in this world, as well as her modeling and acting

career over the years from Australia to New York and L.A., London and beyond. We talk about

the hardships of what it's like to be a mixed child from various backgrounds

all over the world, and we hope that you'll find a little light at the end of this episode

so you can relate to the heart space of those who are just like you and me.

Thank you. just like you and me. I'm here with my girlfriend, Shadina Shike.

Welcome.

Thank you.

We're so happy to see you.

So for those of you who don't know Shadena, she has an incredible

professional resume over two decades of work. And you have modeled, you have been an actress

in like movies like The Mummy and most recently, I think, great, which is amazing because

people will say, I know her. And they always have a different

story that ties back to Victoria's Secret, or maybe it was the modeling show back in Australia.

The Australians love you for it.

They do. It's so cute. I mean, I get it. Like, I started young and also people remember me from Top Chef years ago. And I was like, oh, God. It's reality. Yeah. It works. But it's good because it shows that you can still make it as a professional, especially

if you work really hard and you dedicate your time and your hard work.

So tell me a little bit about the transition of how moving to the US was and your career
