#61. 3 Things That Happen When You Move Abroad — Emotional Truths Expat Women Don't Talk About
About this episode
The episode discusses the unpolished truths of moving abroad, focusing on cultural roots, identity, and the challenges faced by immigrant women.
The moment you move abroad, something shifts — in your body, in your identity, in the way you see yourself. In this episode, I’m sharing three things that happen the moment you leave home for a new country, especially if you’re an expat or immigrant woman starting over in the USA. These are the parts no one prepares you for: the sudden loneliness, the unexpected softness, the way your confidence wavers and rebuilds itself. If you’ve ever felt like you “should be handling this better,” this episode will help you understand why you feel the way you do — and why nothing is wrong with you. We talk about: the emotional shock of landing in a new country the identity unraveling that happens before you rebuild the loneliness that shows up even when you’re “excited” how to give yourself permission to grow slowly This episode is for the woman who moved abroad and suddenly feels like a stranger to herself — the woman who’s trying to make friends, find her footing, and understand who she’s becoming in this new place.
