Description

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.


P.S. If you’re figuring out your next step, I created a free Ikigai workbook to help you get clarity - just drop me a message or grab it from the link.
