MND Perspectives: Rediscovering childlike wonder in Mexico

Mexico News Daily co-owner Tamanna Bembenek shares how a podcast invitation inspired her to reflect on her journey from a professional career to rediscovering childhood creativity in Mexico. The latest edition of our subscriber-exclusive podcast looks at how a move south of the border led to bigger changes than she could ever have expected.

Having been inspired by stories of inspiring female heroes, and the sense of limitless potential she felt as a child, Tamanna has been in search of recapturing that feeling of joy.

MND Perspectives: Rediscovering childlike wonder in Mexico

Embracing vibrant colors, nature and simple joys like painting and storytelling have all helped, as has limiting media consumption and focusing on curiosity, imagination, and resilience. Her journey highlights the transformative power of reconnecting with one’s inner child to dream and create anew.
