Expat shame can crop up while living abroad but also when you're agonizing over whether you should stay or go. Here are the three ways that I have seen expat shame typically rear its head for expats.
Feeling like you don't belong as an expat has its roots in a mindset often shared by locals. Learn what this mindset is about and how you can recognize it so you can overcome painful feelings of not belonging while living abroad.
The first few years abroad are often the hardest. But Melody's rough start in the US shows that you can absolutely learn to love your life abroad.
Ella’s story isn’t a typical expat story. It’s a story about getting to know her Swedish side and finally realizing where her cultural home is - back in New York.
No amount of research can prepare expats for the reality of becoming a new mom while adjusting to life in a foreign country. Should you stay or move back home then? This is the question asked by this first-time expat and new mom living in Japan.
If you’re pressed for time or you just need a sounding board to get a fresh perspective on your decision, then the Clarity Intensive Session is perfect for you.
This is an intense and condensed 90-minute session where we focus on unpacking the knot of issues keeping you stuck.
Depending on the circumstances of your situation, it’s not a guarantee that you will know what the right decision is by the end of the session.
However, you absolutely will know what you should be focusing on going forward and what doesn’t deserve your continued attention.
“Thanks again for everything during our session this morning! It really put my mind at ease and gave me a lot of clarity as to what I really want out of my job and my next steps.” – Kelly R.
“I didn’t expect the process alone of explaining my situation to a perfect stranger to be so helpful! A lot of what you said resonated with me. I clearly have a lot to think through before going ahead. At least now I know what to focus on!” – Marie S.
