Have you switched jobs a few times and wondered if that makes you a “job hopper”? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share how recruiters really see job hopping, and why it might not be as bad as you think.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• What “job hopping” actually means

Just got a job offer and rushing to say “yes”? Pause.

Listen in to:

• Spot whether you’re choosing growth - or simply escaping
• Evaluate the true value of your pay and benefits

• And check “behind the curtain” by reaching out to past employees quietly

Hit play and ask yourself the right questions before you say “yes.”

Still waiting on that recruiter to “find you a job”? You might be misunderstanding how recruitment really works.

Ever felt like everyone else is “living the dream” abroad — and you’re the only one struggling?

Life as an expat can look beautiful online, but the day-to-day reality often feels confusing, lonely, or exhausting. You’re not failing — you’re just human.

In this episode, I’m stepping away from career advice to talk about what expat life really feels like — the good, the hard, and the parts no one posts about.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• What social media doesn’t show you about life abroad
• Why “feeling in between” is normal (and not a bad thing)
• How quiet, unshared moments are the real signs of progress

Press play to feel seen, supported, and a little less alone in your expat journey.
