House of Peregrine

In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Jewel Mondros of Jewel Mondros, Energetic Consultant, intuitive healer, and frequency guide to explore what happens when you can feel you’re changing, but can’t quite name it yet. Jewel shares her own peregrine path, years living across Europe, learning tarot while feeling untethered abroad, and ultimately channeling her work (and her oracle deck) during a liminal season before moving to Amsterdam. Together they make the “unseen” feel grounded: intuition as a skill, energy as information, and transformation as the steady return to self.They also unpack how tarot and channeling can function like a soulful mirror, less about prediction, more about perspective, pattern recognition, and being deeply witnessed. From microdosing as a gentle commitment to new neural pathways, to retreats where location, beauty, and group dynamics become part of the medicine, this conversation is both expansive and practical. Jewel closes with a collective message: fear and vulnerability aren’t obstacles - they’re the doorway.In this episode:Tarot as a structured “mirror” for clarity and self-trustWhat channeling adds: felt truth, not logicMicrodosing as subtle, consistent re-patterningRetreats as energetic containers: space, safety, and group workHow homes speak: leaks, clutter, kitchens + emotional patternsA collective pull: step through fear; vulnerability sets you freeFor more about Jewel and the links mentioned and more on this episode: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-091House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:houseofperegrine.com/auth/signupJoin a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.

In this episode of the House of Peregrine Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most tender realities of international life: loving your people well when they live an ocean away. Host Mickelle sits down with Helen Ellis, M.A., New Zealand–based researcher, author, and anthropologist, and founder of DistanceFamilies.com—a longtime practitioner of distance parenting and grandparenting with family spread across the U.S., England, and Scotland.Helen shares why she wrote her Distance Families book series after discovering just how little guidance exists, despite how common this life has become. Together, they explore the emotional undercurrent (especially guilt), the invisible grief that can sit alongside pride, and the practical rituals that help relationships thrive across time zones, without pretending it’s easy.In this episode:The grounding question that changes everything: “How is distance familying for you?”Why empathy across generations is the real bridgeAdult children as the “communication traffic officer” (book it, then build rhythm)Small visit-frictions that quietly matter: gratitude, thoughtfulness, respect for the homeRituals that hold connection: letters, shared books, mini-golf, food traditionsPlanning well for later life when family won’t be down the roadFor Helen’s books, resources, and all links mentioned, visit: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-089.House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:houseofperegrine.com/auth/signupJoin a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.

Money gets emotional fast, especially when you’re living across borders. In this Best Played Moment, Mickelle and Sophie Duong unpack why globally mobile people often delay financial planning (not from laziness, but survival mode), and how that delay quietly reduces freedom later. Sophie, a financial advisor with Devere, reframes money as something that should support your life now and your life later, without the guilt, shame, or sacrifice narrative so many expats carry.They explore the mindset shift from “what should I do?” to “what do I want?” and why goal-setting matters more than age. Sophie introduces her process: start with your financial independence number, zoom out long-term, then work backward into short-term steps—so you can keep building the lifestyle you love while protecting future choices. The conversation closes with a simple, empowering framework: accumulation vs protection phases, defined by milestones and dependents, not by your passport stamps.In this episode:Why money feels personal (and why we avoid it)The “cost of inaction” after years abroad“Money moves where you tell it to move”How to define your financial independence numberWhy you can build a dream life and still plan aheadAccumulation vs protection (it’s milestones, not age)Explore more at https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-075.Find Sophie Duong at Devere Group: https://www.devere-group.com/.House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:houseofperegrine.com/auth/signupJoin a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.

Kemo Camara, founder and CEO of Omek, joins Mickelle Weber for a rich conversation on what community really is and what it can become. Kemo reframes community as human technology: the original infrastructure that helps us survive, belong, and evolve, long before it was ever a marketing term. From growing up in Guinea in a multigenerational compound of 30–50 people, he shares how identity is formed through responsibility, accountability, and being mirrored by others; “me, myself, and us.”Kemo then traces his Peregrine path from Guinea to New York, where corporate life sharpened his strategic skills, but community building remained his instinct. A pivotal move to Germany (sparked by his wife’s career opportunity) became an awakening, highlighting the difference between immigrant and expat mindsets, and how comfort can quietly limit growth. That chapter led to a clearer purpose: supporting bicultural professionals who live between worlds.At the heart of Omek is a powerful reframe: bicultural life isn’t a disadvantage, it’s a privilege and a superpower. Kemo introduces the “toolbox” metaphor: each culture adds tools that expand empathy, creativity, and cultural intelligence. Omek brings bicultural people into intentional community, helps them name their strengths, and equips them to lead; personally, professionally, and as contributors to the societies they call home.In this episode:Community as “human technology,” not a brand buzzwordHow a collective upbringing shapes identity, values, and purposeImmigrant vs expat vs entrepreneur: the mindset shifts of moving abroadWhy staying in an expat bubble can limit growth and belongingBicultural “toolboxes” as a source of creativity, empathy, and leadershipHow Omek supports bicultural talent and partners with companiesFind Kemo Camara and Omek at myomek.com.
