Jess Meider first came to China in 1997. She never planned to stay. Nearly 30 years later, she has called Beijing home. And even going back to the US takes a little "mental prep" of its own!

What made her stay? How did a place that once felt so unfamiliar become her comfort zone? Let's tune in to Jess's China story and find out!

In this video conversation, we talk about:

- How unexpected opportunities in China shaped her journey as a musician.

- Exploring different identities through music, yoga, and chanting.

- How music connects people across cultures and languages.

- Advice for young people finding their own path.
