Visibility Without Losing Your Soul Abroad | Claire Naughton | Ep 095

When does moving abroad stop feeling like something to prove and start feeling like home? For Claire Naughton, that answer is still unfolding. Eight years into life in France,  a path that wound through New Zealand, South America, and a chance meeting in Peru,  she joins Mickelle to talk about building a business, and a self, in a country that isn't quite yours. Claire calls herself a "freestyling marketer," helping international service-business owners stay visible without losing their soul. The conversation moves from marketing into something deeper: the quiet ache of never fully belonging, the impermanence woven through expat life, and why your intuition matters most when it feels furthest away. In this episode: Why comparison hits harder when you're building in a foreign country What "freestyling" marketing really means and why writing still wins Using AI without flattening your voice or your humanity Belonging, acceptance, and the myth of "arriving" in France Moving abroad for love: you marry the person, and the country Bringing your whole self, motherhood included, to the work Connect with Claire — her travel blog The Millennial Abroad, plus Instagram and LinkedIn — all linked at https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-095.
