I’m on a mission to raise a healthier generation of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) – and the parents who raise them.
Living an international life and raising kids abroad is amazing .. and it can get intense. I want to make sure you know the pitfalls to avoid, and share practical measures that really help. I believe we’re stronger together. Join me for a heart-to-heart, full of warmth and compassion… for you & me. For more, come hang out with me on Facebook; hearing from you would make my day!

How can you help your children solve the world’s complex problems?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein
One way to start is to bring sustainability education to educators throughout the world. This is the mission of Compass Education.
Have you ever bumped into a teacher outside of school and brought up a classroom question? If it’s anything other than a compliment, tread carefully! AsHave you ever noticed a divide between local and foreign populations at your child’s international school and wondered how to cross it, or asked which curriculum is the best fit for your child (spoiler alert: that’s the wrong question)? Then you’re sure to learn a few things from today’s guest.
Have you ever grumbled over a school decision or policy? It’s easy to slip into an us-versus-them dynamic. But behind every individual and every decision there’s more than meets the eye. Open minded communication is key. This goes for the relationships between teachers and administrators as well.
Do you know your own life story? That seems like a strange question. But for TCKs it can be an important undertaking and it helps develop a sense of continuity within yourself.
Natalie lays out a no-nonsense, practical, realistic approach to university in the UK, starting from grade 8 or 9. In her straight-talking style, she corrects misconceptions and encourages balance and joy in all of life’s pursuits.
When you move internationally, often you make difficult decisions about which items earn a space in your suitcase. Art supplies might seem frivolous or impractical, especially if you’re “up close and personal” with poverty. But taking your creativity seriously may have long term impacts to your health and to your adjustment.
Did you know creativity helps address emotional, social and spiritual needs? Did you know visual art supports cognitive development and problem-solving skills? Tune in to learn how the process of creating art can contribute to health and well-being for everyone.
Most of us working overseas do NOT have a robust support program in place for the entire family, to ensure we’ve got the skills needed to cope well with being inserted into a different culture plus being highly mobile. This is something I want to change. Together, we’ll raise a healthier generation of TCKs.
