Parents who’ve grown up in one culture may not know exactly how to support their Third Culture Kids (TCKs) develop a strong, healthy sense of identity and belonging. “It starts with acknowledging that our kids won’t have the same identity we do, and that’s OK.”
In this episode I share a few of my lessons learned in expat life – areas of my life that would have been easier if I’d had the right kind of support earlier – and explain how my program adapt.succeed.together helps with all this and more. Invest in yourself. You will grow. And the program will grow with you, too.

Even though death is a taboo subject in many cultures, there are ways we can be better prepared. In this episode we talk about financial and legal barriers that complicate things for families abroad, emotional and physical needs of those who are grieving, and practices that can help.
How do you navigate something as intimate, personal, and BIG as becoming a parent, when you’re in another country and don’t speak the language? “There’s so many layers to giving birth abroad. Yes, birth is birth. Definitely we all agree. But you definitely need a set of extra tools.” We’ll talk about some of those tools including having a doula.
What does the word bellydance make you think of? What images does it conjure? And how is that related to geopolitical tensions and social upheaval?? If we understand the history of how bellydance was introduced to the West, we start to unpack a host of problems. We begin to see our deeply ingrained practices of “other-ing.”
My story of how unresolved grief reared its head in my adult life, and how we as parents can help our kids (and ourselves) engage with grief so we can truly move forward.
