Expat life IS a struggle. Until you OWN your STORY.
Being an expat is messy, you're no longer the same person. When you go back to your home country, you're a bit of a tourist, a little intolerant, and then you return to your new country and feel confused. You wonder how you lived in that mess for so long. Then you look at how much you've achieved during your years abroad versus everything you gave up when you lived back home. It's a mix of emotions! I share my unfiltered experience in this latest newsletter article. Connect with me if this resonated with you. I can help.
