| 2/10/26 | ![]() 67. We Are All Escaping: Travel, Home, Freedom, and the Truth We Avoid | We love saying “I wasn’t escaping, I was finding myself.”But what if both are true?In this episode, I challenge the false opposition we keep living in:travel vs home, freedom vs stability, escaping vs finding yourself.Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: everyone is escaping something.Scrolling, traveling, working nonstop, relationships, movement, same pattern, different tools.This episode is for you if:You’ve lived abroad or moved countries and still feel restlessGoing back home feels heavy, small, or triggeringYou don’t know what you’re chasing anymore, just that something feels “off”You’re tired of choosing between extremesWe talk about:Why travel and escape can coexistWhat “home” actually means (and why places won’t fix it)Why your home country is often your shadowThe urge to leave as a trauma response, not intuitionHow staying with inner conflict creates real clarityWhy belonging requires being seen, not disappearingThis is not about convincing you to stay or leave.It’s about stopping the escape long enough to hear what you actually want.Want personalized support for your return journey? 🔗Book a free 30-minute clarity call: Here🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : HereFollow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() 66. When your home country brings comfort, and anxiety: The Duality of Returning | Returning home isn’t just about familiarity, it’s about a strange duality: comfort and anxiety. On one hand, home feels safe, known, and grounding. On the other, it can trigger old patterns, uncomfortable memories, and questions about who you’ve become.In this episode, I explore the invisible tension of going back after living abroad: the nostalgia for family and friends, the reality of relationships that haven’t evolved, and the ways we unconsciously cling to the comfort of home while fearing stagnation. I share personal stories about friendships, family dynamics, and how our identity abroad changes what, and who, we value when we return.You’ll hear why returning is a powerful mirror for self-awareness, how to decide which connections to keep, and how to use your homecoming as information to live a life more aligned with who you are now.If you’ve ever felt torn between two worlds, missing home but wanting more than your old life, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and a new way to approach your return.Want personalized support for your return journey? 🔗 Book a free 30-minute clarity call here: Here🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : HereFollow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 1/13/26 | ![]() 65. Never Waste a Return: The Grief No One Warned You About | Welcome to The Returner Support Podcast, the podcast for people who came back to their home country after a long time abroad and realized that nothing is simple anymore.I’m your host, Anaïs Ruel, life transition expert, and yes, probably the friend who says the things no one else dares to say during this phase of your life.In today’s episode, we talk about something most people avoid at all costs:How to never waste your return back home.This episode was inspired by a sentence I heard at a business event:“Never waste a good heartbreak.” And immediately, I knew, the same applies to returning home.Because returning to your country is a heartbreak.And like any heartbreak, it comes with grief, shame, anger, loneliness, and the urge to escape.In this episode, I share:A very personal story about a relationship that ended, and how I avoided feeling the painHow distraction, busyness, and “fixing yourself” is often just emotional avoidanceWhy December was one of the heaviest months for me, and what it revealedHow grief shows up as anger toward friends, places, men, and even your own countryWhy running to another country too fast is often emotional bypassingThe dangerous belief that “I shouldn’t feel this way”Why returning home brings up old wounds you thought were healedHow places hold emotional memory, and why your reaction is data, not a problemWhy your country is not the issue, your filter isHow grief softens your lens and changes how you see people, places, and yourselfI share reflections inspired by the book Belonging, including this powerful idea:Grief is the current that carries us into our next becoming.This episode is not about fixing your life.It’s about feeling what you’ve been running from, so you don’t repeat it everywhere you go.Before you move again.Before you blame your country.Before you blame yourself.Want personalized support for your return journey? 🔗Book a free 30-minute clarity call here: Here🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : HereFollow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 12/31/25 | ![]() 64. How to Reflect, Reconnect to Your Desire, and Feel Alive Again Back Home | This end-of-year episode of The Returner Support Podcast is an invitation to slow down, reflect honestly, and stop shaming yourself for not being “where you should be.”If you’re back in your home country after time abroad, or even just visiting, and you feel heavy, lost, misunderstood, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.We explore why December and January are not meant for big decisions or radical life plans, but for gentleness, truth, and deep reflection. We reframe winter as a necessary season, a pause that prepares the next chapter, rather than a sign that something is wrong.In this episode, you’ll hear about:How emotions like frustration, anger, and sadness point directly to unfulfilled desiresHow fear silently blocks actionHow to stop letting your past shape your presentThe power of acting from your future self instead of reacting from old woundsReal-life examples around friendships, values, family relationships... A concrete reflection practice using your photos and memories from the past yearThis episode is about reconnecting to what you truly desire, naming the fears that keep you stuck, and choosing, little by little, to move toward alignment instead of familiarity.A powerful listen to close the year with clarity, honesty, and self-compassion.Want personalized support for your return journey?

You could leave again… but what if that’s not the answer? | You did everything “right”.You settled.You have friends.A job.A life you once dreamed of.And yet… something feels off.In this episode of The Returner Support Podcast, I speak directly to those quiet months after the move, whether you’re back in your home country or you decided to stay longer somewhere else. Not the honeymoon phase. Not the one-year milestone. But that in-between moment where the excitement fades and heavy emotions show up.I share my own experience of feeling deeply unfulfilled despite having “everything to be happy”, and the pattern many returners and long-term travelers repeat:when it gets uncomfortable, we leave.Again.We talk about:Why sadness often appears after things stabilizeThe urge to escape instead of staying with what we feelHow travel can become an emotional avoidance patternWhy it’s dangerous to make big life decisions when you’re emotionally lowThe difference between living “fully” and constantly chasing noveltyHow to stop trying to fix yourself and start listening insteadA simple journaling practice to create safety with your emotionsThis episode is an invitation to pause.To stop questioning your entire life just because you’re having a hard season.To sit with sadness instead of running from it.If you know someone who’s back home after years abroad, or stuck in the “should I stay or should I go” loop, share this episode with them.And if you want deeper support, I currently have limited 1:1 coaching spots.DM me on Instagram and let’s talk.Follow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner supportHosted on Ausha.

| 12/2/25 | ![]() 62. Sitting in the Disappointment: The Part of Coming Home No One Admits Out Loud | In this episode, we’re going straight into a topic almost every returner feels but barely anyone names out loud: disappointment.The disappointment you feel when you come back to your home country and nothing looks like you imagined. The people don’t ask the questions you hoped for. The connections feel different. The life you thought you were coming back to… isn’t there.I share a personal story from my own dating life, not because it’s dramatic, but because it shows exactly how disappointment shows up in different areas of our lives. The return. The relationships. The expectations. The desire to protect yourself. The urge to skip the process and run straight to the “good part.”We explore why disappointment hits so hard when you return home, what it reveals about what you truly want, and how to actually hold yourself through it without numbing, rushing, or blaming.If you’ve been back home and you’re feeling let down, by people, by circumstances, or even by yourself, this episode will make you feel less alone and help you see your disappointment for what it really is: information, not a failure.Want personalized support for your return journey?

| 11/19/25 | ![]() 61. The Mindset Shift That Makes Returning Home 10x Easier | In this episode, I share one of the most surprising lessons I’ve learned from the book The Easiest Way to Stop Smoking , and how it applies directly to returning to your home country after living abroad.What the author says about quitting smoking is exactly what we need to understand about going back home: it’s all about changing your associations, breaking the old brainwash, and deciding who you are now.For the first 8 minutes, I talk about the core lessons of the book:Why quitting is not about willpowerWhy you don’t need to “avoid thinking about smoking”Why the withdrawal phase is just old reflexesWhy you should celebrate your life getting better instead of feeling deprivedHow identity (“I’m not a smoker anymore”) is the real switchThen I show how we do the exact same thing when we return home.I explain:The stories we tell ourselves about our country (“I can’t do that here…”)How we associate “abroad” with freedom and alivenessWhy feeling free abroad wasn’t about the place, it was about being presentHow I felt trapped even in Canada, proving it wasn’t the country but the situationHow last year I decided to return home with a different identity: open-minded, less judgmental, fully myselfHow being grateful for both your time abroad and your time at home changes everythingHow being back home is like withdrawal: triggering because of old conditioning, not because something is wrongAnd why reacting differently creates a completely different realityI share how “introducing the new me” at home changed my entire life: I set boundaries, chose myself more, said no without guilt, and even spoke on stage, because I stopped pretending.I break down the poker analogy from the book: you already have the winning cards.People around you may try to pull you back into who you were, but your skills, growth, and transformation from living abroad are still there.And finally: when you miss your time abroad, celebrate what’s good in your life right now.Use it as proof of how much you’ve evolved, not as a sign to run away.This episode will help you return home without losing yourself… and maybe even help you fall in love with your life again.Follow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 10/28/25 | ![]() 59.The Secret to Feeling Inspired Again After Your Time Abroad | In this episode, I get real about something I’ve been feeling lately, the pressure to have everything figured out. After returning from an inspired event and two months in the US where I felt at peace, I noticed how easy it is to slip into control mode: trying to plan every detail, solve every uncertainty, and force clarity to come faster.But here the thing, when we try to control everything, we leave no room for life to surprise us.In this podcast episode, I share how the first step is simply to accept where you are: that you miss your time abroad, that life feels a bit “meh” right now, that you don’t have all the answers. And from that place of honesty, you can start to get obsessed again, in a healthy way.Get obsessed with yourself, with your life, with fun. Remember what you were obsessed with abroad, the freedom, the curiosity, the aliveness, and bring that same energy here. If you came back to be closer to family, get obsessed with those moments together. If you want to rebuild your life, make it your mission to enjoy the process.I’ll also share why releasing control is the secret to feeling inspired again. Instead of predicting how your week will go, plan for life to surprise you. Ask yourself:How can I bring more fun into my day? What’s one thing I can do differently today, just for me?Maybe it’s watching the sunrise, finding a new spot to watch the sunset, or saying yes to something unexpected. Because this season isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about falling back in love with your life, one spontaneous moment at a time.Want personalized support for your return journey?

Why You Keep Running (and What Coming Home Has to Do with It) | If you’ve ever come back to your home country and felt the urge to leave again, this episode is for you.In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking something that hides beneath so many return stories: the fear of commitment. The fear of staying. The fear of being trapped again.I’ll share how my own return taught me to always keep one foot out the door, in relationships, in work, even in my business, and why so many of us unconsciously link commitment with losing our freedom.We’ll dive into: Why coming home can awaken a fear of being stuck or shrinking. How this fear quietly shows up in your relationships, your career, and your dreams.The difference between chasing freedom and truly feeling free.How to reframe commitment as devotion, not a cage, but a path to what you love.By the end, you’ll start to see your return not as something that broke your freedom, but as an invitation to rebuild it, from the inside out.💌 Mentioned in this episodeIf you’re ready to treat your return differently and finally stop running, I have a few spots open for 1:1 coaching.

At first, everything feels familiar, but soon, you might notice a sense of disconnection, loneliness, or the feeling that you no longer truly belong.In today’s episode of The Returner Support Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of belonging.

What Those Negative Facebook Posts Are Really Teaching You | We’ve all been there, scrolling through Facebook groups for returnees and feeling our chest tighten with every post: “It’s impossible to make friends here.” “I feel so stuck.” “Life will never feel exciting again.”In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening beneath those reactions. It’s not just about the negativity of those posts, it’s about the quick stories our mind creates when we read them. I share why we make these instant associations (like “If they can’t find love, I won’t either”) and why these stories often have nothing to do with us.We talk about the missing context behind people’s experiences abroad and back home, and why understanding that matters. Then, we go deeper, because this isn’t really about social media at all. It’s about the relationship you have with your home country. And just like in love, when that relationship changes, everything else changes too.If you’re ready to shift how you see your return and stop letting other people’s stories shape your own, this episode will help you see the bigger picture, and reclaim your power to write a different one.Want personalized support for your return journey? 🔗Book a free 30-minute clarity call here: Here🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : HereFollow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 8/19/25 | ![]() 50. When your time abroad feels like it was just a dream | It’s hard to believe this is the 50th episode of the podcast, almost one year since I started!In this special episode, I’m diving into a topic that so many returnees feel but rarely put words to: why it can feel like our time abroad was just a dream once we’re back home.I explore two key themes: grief and integration.I share my very first day back home after two years abroad, what I felt, how I coped, and why it was so overwhelming.To draw a parallel, I open up about the grief I felt when I lost my ex, and the similarities between grieving a person and grieving a life chapter.I talk about the importance of acknowledging what you’re grieving, your life abroad, the version of yourself you used to be, and why clinging to the past is a natural reaction.Then, I shift to integration, the process of weaving your time abroad into your life now. I explore:The fact that most people’s baseline state is “fine.” Okay. Nothing bad, but not really alive either. What if instead, you made aliveness your baselineWhy feeling all your emotions (not bypassing the hard ones) is the gateway to joy, excitement, and presence.A simple tip to start integrating aliveness into your daily life.This episode is for you if you’ve ever looked back on your time abroad and wondered if it was real, if you’ve struggled to find meaning back home, or if you want to carry that sense of aliveness with you into this next chapter.Want personalized support for your return journey? 🔗Book a free 30-minute clarity call here: Here🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : Here🔗Find me on Substack : Here Follow me on Instagram for daily insights and support: @The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 8/13/25 | ![]() 49. Who Do You Need to Become? Rethinking Life After Your Time Abroad. | If you’ve been telling yourself, “I don’t know what I want for my life,” or you feel lost about what to do after your time abroad, this episode is for you.We’ve been taught to ask the wrong questions, society often frames it all around career: What job will you do? Which degree will you choose? But if you don’t have that answer, it doesn’t mean you’re lost.In this conversation, I share my own story from when I first returned home. I had a plan, but I still felt unsure and kept looking at what others had done to find inspiration. What I really needed to do was pause and ask:What do I already know about myself and my desires?Who is the version of me that lives the life I want?How does she think, act, and make decisions?We’ll explore how to shift from chasing job titles or certifications to becoming a match for your ideal vision of life, whether that’s more travel, more connection, or a deeper sense of purpose.You’ll also hear practical examples (including from relationships) and why the better question isn’t “What did you do after your time abroad?” but “What was your process to figure it out?”By the end, you’ll walk away with a new approach to designing your life after living abroad:Get clear on what you already know about yourself.Imagine your ideal life and the version of you who’s living it.Learn from people who are thriving, not just what they did, but how they became who they are.It’s time to stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking “Who do I need to become?”Want personalized support for your return journey?

| 8/5/25 | ![]() 48. If You Miss Who You Were Abroad… Listen to This First. | We need to have a different conversation.In this episode, I share why I'm done with the typical advice people give when you've come back from living abroad: keep yourself busy, plan your next trip, stay positive. These tips may come from good intentions, but they miss the heart of the experience.I dive into a Facebook post from someone who’s been home for 10 months. She’s happy to see her family, she has a job… but she doesn’t like who she’s becoming. And I share what the comments said and why, despite being well-meaning, they fall short.This episode is about what no one teaches us:➡️ How to validate what we feel➡️ How to ask ourselves what we actually need➡️ How to not try to fix the feeling, but to feel itI tell my own story, what it felt like when I returned the first time, how even people who cared about me gave me quick solutions instead of just sitting with my emotions. I share what I learned from crisis response training: that healing doesn’t come from being fixed, it comes from being heard.We also explore:The grief no one talks about when you return homeWhy “I don’t like who I’m becoming” is a sign you’re shaming yourselfWhat really changed when you were abroad (it’s not just the country, it was your mindset)Why trying to “go back” to who you were abroad doesn’t work, and what to do insteadThis isn’t about recreating the past. It’s about evolving.It’s about using what you lived abroad as a map, not a destination.Want personalized support for your return journey?

| 7/15/25 | ![]() 45. How to Spot (and Heal) the Subtle Patterns That Reappear When You Move Back | In this raw and honest episode, I share what’s been unfolding since I returned to the US, and how, within just one week, this transition has already become a mirror for deeper healing.I open up about the triggers that have resurfaced, especially around people-pleasing, usefulness, and the belief that I need to earn love and belonging. I realized I’ve placed my experience in the US, and even my host family, on a pedestal. But what happens when that pedestal starts to crumble?Using the exact method I applied when I returned to my home country, I’m approaching this move with curiosity, self-awareness, and compassion. I walk you through how I lean into discomfort instead of avoiding it, and the powerful insights that emerge when I do.One of the biggest questions I’m sitting with right now is:👉 If I stop performing or being “useful,” will I still be accepted and loved?I also share a simple practice that helps me reconnect with my body and emotions, allowing me to stay grounded and meet what’s really there, beyond the patterns.This episode is for anyone who’s navigating a transition, facing old wounds in new places, or wondering how to show up authentically without fear of losing connection.Want personalized support for your return journey?
