Description
<p>Almost a year ago, I launched a series on my newsletter called Leaving America, based on the multitude of reasons Americans opt to leave the country and why many of them, as it happens, end up in Paris. Through this series and my network of creative women in Paris, I’ve connected with so many brilliant Americans who have moved, want to move, or at least understand the desire to.

Right off the bat, we started talking together about the feelings tied up in leaving one’s homeland and Paris has done for us, as it has for so many before us. She joins me today to talk about her path to Paris, why it was the right place to settle at this point in her life, and the importance of building community to withstand the toughest of times. </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode: </strong></p><p><a href="https://susannaschrobsdorff.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Susanna schrobsdorff</a></p><p><a href="[24/09/2025, 16:54:21] Susanna Schrobsdorff: Brooklyn for Paris [24/09/2025, 16:54:25] Susanna Schrobsdorff: https://open.substack.com/pub/susannaschrobs/p/on-leaving-brooklyn-for-paris?r=1dgm2&utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">On leaving Brooklyn for Paris</a></p><p>Suzy Hansen's <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/3892/9780374537838" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><em>Notes on a Foreign Country</em></a></p><p><a href="https://www.thebluehourparis.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">The Blue Hour workshop</a> with Glynnis MacNicol</p>
