Explore every episode of the podcast The returner support

You came back home after time abroad… and suddenly everything feels wrong.

Your city.
Your friendships.
Your routines.
Even yourself.

You start thinking:
“I’ve outgrown this place.”

But what if the place isn’t the real problem?

In this episode, I share a very personal reflection about friendship, emotional patterns, overgiving, identity shifts after traveling, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes what we’ve actually outgrown… is the version of ourselves we keep repeating.

I talk about:

• Why returning home can trigger deep emotional patterns

• The difference between truly outgrowing a place vs avoiding discomfort

• How overfunctioning and people-pleasing showed up in my friendships

• Why changing countries doesn’t automatically change your life

• The danger of losing connection to your vision

• How traveling abroad reveals the ways you’ve been showing up unconsciously

• Why clarity comes from self-honesty, not escaping

This episode is for you if:

• You feel disconnected after returning home

• You keep fantasizing about leaving again

• You feel frustrated, stuck, lonely, or emotionally exhausted

• You’re questioning your friendships, your lifestyle, or your direction

• You know something needs to change… but you don’t know what

• 
  

Sometimes the next chapter doesn’t start with moving somewhere new.
Sometimes it starts with finally seeing yourself clearly.

Welcome to Season 2 of The Returner Support Podcast.

If you’ve ever come back home after time abroad and thought:
“What the hell am I supposed to do now?” this episode is for you.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share what really happens when you return… not the romantic version, but the messy one.

After 5 weeks in Indonesia, I came back expecting everything to feel “normal.”
It didn’t.

Instead, I found myself:

• Questioning my life

• Overthinking every possible life decision

• Wanting to escape…

• And sitting in a mental chaos

In this episode, we talk about:

• How all your emotions, thoughts can coexist at the same time

• How your mind starts scanning everything that feels wrong

• How to just stay in the chaos of your thoughts

• And why you don’t need to make any decision right now

This is your reminder that:
You are not supposed to have it all figured out when you come back.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do…
is to do nothing, slow down, and let the chaos exist.

If you’re in the in-between, this episode will feel like someone finally gets it.

We love saying “I wasn’t escaping, I was finding myself.”

But what if both are true?

In this episode, I challenge the false opposition we keep living in:
travel vs home, freedom vs stability, escaping vs finding yourself.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: everyone is escaping something.
Scrolling, traveling, working nonstop, relationships, movement, same pattern, different tools.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve lived abroad or moved countries and still feel restless

• Going back home feels heavy, small, or triggering

• You don’t know what you’re chasing anymore, just that something feels “off”

• You’re tired of choosing between extremes

We talk about:

• Why travel and escape can coexist

• What “home” actually means (and why places won’t fix it)

• Why your home country is often your shadow

• The urge to leave as a trauma response, not intuition

• How staying with inner conflict creates real clarity

• Why belonging requires being seen, not disappearing

This is not about convincing you to stay or leave.
It’s about stopping the escape long enough to hear what you actually want.

Returning home isn’t just about familiarity, it’s about a strange duality: comfort and anxiety. On one hand, home feels safe, known, and grounding. On the other, it can trigger old patterns, uncomfortable memories, and questions about who you’ve become.

In this episode, I explore the invisible tension of going back after living abroad: the nostalgia for family and friends, the reality of relationships that haven’t evolved, and the ways we unconsciously cling to the comfort of home while fearing stagnation. I share personal stories about friendships, family dynamics, and how our identity abroad changes what, and who, we value when we return.

You’ll hear why returning is a powerful mirror for self-awareness, how to decide which connections to keep, and how to use your homecoming as information to live a life more aligned with who you are now.

If you’ve ever felt torn between two worlds, missing home but wanting more than your old life, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and a new way to approach your return.

Welcome to The Returner Support Podcast, the podcast for people who came back to their home country after a long time abroad and realized that nothing is simple anymore.

I’m your host, Anaïs Ruel, life transition expert, and yes, probably the friend who says the things no one else dares to say during this phase of your life.

In today’s episode, we talk about something most people avoid at all costs:

How to never waste your return back home.

This episode was inspired by a sentence I heard at a business event:
“Never waste a good heartbreak.” And immediately, I knew,  the same applies to returning home.

Because returning to your country is a heartbreak.
And like any heartbreak, it comes with grief, shame, anger, loneliness, and the urge to escape.

In this episode, I share:

• A very personal story about a relationship that ended, and how I avoided feeling the pain

• How distraction, busyness, and “fixing yourself” is often just emotional avoidance

• Why December was one of the heaviest months for me, and what it revealed

• How grief shows up as anger toward friends, places, men, and even your own country

• Why running to another country too fast is often emotional bypassing

• The dangerous belief that “I shouldn’t feel this way”

• Why returning home brings up old wounds you thought were healed

• How places hold emotional memory, and why your reaction is data, not a problem

• Why your country is not the issue, your filter is

• How grief softens your lens and changes how you see people, places, and yourself

I share reflections inspired by the book Belonging, including this powerful idea:
Grief is the current that carries us into our next becoming.

This episode is not about fixing your life.
It’s about feeling what you’ve been running from, so you don’t repeat it everywhere you go.

Before you move again.
Before you blame your country.
Before you blame yourself.

This end-of-year episode of The Returner Support Podcast is an invitation to slow down, reflect honestly, and stop shaming yourself for not being “where you should be.”

If you’re back in your home country after time abroad, or even just visiting, and you feel heavy, lost, misunderstood, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.

We explore why December and January are not meant for big decisions or radical life plans, but for gentleness, truth, and deep reflection. We reframe winter as a necessary season, a pause that prepares the next chapter, rather than a sign that something is wrong.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How emotions like frustration, anger, and sadness point directly to unfulfilled desires

• How fear silently blocks action

• How to stop letting your past shape your present

• The power of acting from your future self instead of reacting from old wounds

• Real-life examples around friendships, values, family relationships...

• A concrete reflection practice using your photos and memories from the past year

This episode is about reconnecting to what you truly desire, naming the fears that keep you stuck, and choosing, little by little, to move toward alignment instead of familiarity.

A powerful listen to close the year with clarity, honesty, and self-compassion.

You did everything “right”.

You settled.
You have friends.
A job.
A life you once dreamed of.

And yet… something feels off.

In this episode of The Returner Support Podcast, I speak directly to those quiet months after the move, whether you’re back in your home country or you decided to stay longer somewhere else. Not the honeymoon phase. Not the one-year milestone. But that in-between moment where the excitement fades and heavy emotions show up.

I share my own experience of feeling deeply unfulfilled despite having “everything to be happy”, and the pattern many returners and long-term travelers repeat:
when it gets uncomfortable, we leave.

Again.

We talk about:

• Why sadness often appears after things stabilize

• The urge to escape instead of staying with what we feel

• How travel can become an emotional avoidance pattern

• Why it’s dangerous to make big life decisions when you’re emotionally low

• The difference between living “fully” and constantly chasing novelty

• How to stop trying to fix yourself and start listening instead

• A simple journaling practice to create safety with your emotions

This episode is an invitation to pause.
To stop questioning your entire life just because you’re having a hard season.
To sit with sadness instead of running from it.

If you know someone who’s back home after years abroad, or stuck in the “should I stay or should I go” loop, share this episode with them.

In this episode, we’re going straight into a topic almost every returner feels but barely anyone names out loud: disappointment.

The disappointment you feel when you come back to your home country and nothing looks like you imagined. The people don’t ask the questions you hoped for. The connections feel different. The life you thought you were coming back to… isn’t there.

I share a personal story from my own dating life, not because it’s dramatic, but because it shows exactly how disappointment shows up in different areas of our lives. The return. The relationships. The expectations. The desire to protect yourself. The urge to skip the process and run straight to the “good part.”

We explore why disappointment hits so hard when you return home, what it reveals about what you truly want, and how to actually hold yourself through it without numbing, rushing, or blaming.

If you’ve been back home and you’re feeling let down, by people, by circumstances, or even by yourself, this episode will make you feel less alone and help you see your disappointment for what it really is: information, not a failure.

In this episode, I share one of the most surprising lessons I’ve learned from the book The Easiest Way to Stop Smoking , and how it applies directly to returning to your home country after living abroad.

What the author says about quitting smoking is exactly what we need to understand about going back home: it’s all about changing your associations, breaking the old brainwash, and deciding who you are now.

For the first 8 minutes, I talk about the core lessons of the book:

• Why quitting is not about willpower

• Why you don’t need to “avoid thinking about smoking”

• Why the withdrawal phase is just old reflexes

• Why you should celebrate your life getting better instead of feeling deprived

• How identity (“I’m not a smoker anymore”) is the real switch

Then I show how we do the exact same thing when we return home.

I explain:

• The stories we tell ourselves about our country (“I can’t do that here…”)

• How we associate “abroad” with freedom and aliveness

• Why feeling free abroad wasn’t about the place, it was about being present

• How I felt trapped even in Canada, proving it wasn’t the country but the situation

• How last year I decided to return home with a different identity: open-minded, less judgmental, fully myself

• How being grateful for both your time abroad and your time at home changes everything

• How being back home is like withdrawal: triggering because of old conditioning, not because something is wrong

• And why reacting differently creates a completely different reality

I share how “introducing the new me” at home changed my entire life: I set boundaries, chose myself more, said no without guilt, and even spoke on stage, because I stopped pretending.

I break down the poker analogy from the book: you already have the winning cards.

People around you may try to pull you back into who you were, but your skills, growth, and transformation from living abroad are still there.

And finally: when you miss your time abroad, celebrate what’s good in your life right now.
Use it as proof of how much you’ve evolved, not as a sign to run away.

This episode will help you return home without losing yourself… and maybe even help you fall in love with your life again.

Today’s episode is a wake-up call, in the best way.

I take you into the uncomfortable truth that most people never admit: the way you handle your return home… is exactly how you handle dating… is exactly how you handle your career or business.
It all points to one thing: your deepest fear of not being loved for who you truly are.

And that fear? It’s running the show far more than you think.

Inside this episode, we go deep into:

• Why returning home triggers the exact same wounds as dating and starting a business

• How you unknowingly shrink yourself to stay “acceptable” to your friends, family, and even strangers on the internet

• The real reason you settle, pause, avoid, leave too soon, or constantly “start over”

• The moment you KNOW you’re running away from yourself, and how to stop

• Why people fall into the “comfortable but lifeless” box back home

• How your thoughts shape your entire experience of being home (and how to shift them)

• What your patterns in dating reveal about how you show up in your country

• The brutal truth about distraction disguised as “resting”

• The link between self-trust, attachment styles, and how you sabotage your goals

• How to stop playing life to not lose, and start playing to win

I also share a raw story from my own life, the moment I paused everything, pretended it was “rest,” and realized I was actually running straight into self-sabotage.

You’ll hear how I broke the cycle, how it changed my dating life and business instantly, and how it applies directly to your return.

If you’ve ever:

• felt unseen back home

• struggled to keep the version of you that existed abroad

• convinced yourself you “just need to travel again”

• sabotaged relationships

• given up too soon in your business

• paused your life waiting for the mythical moment when everything feels easier

• told yourself “I’ll do this when…”

…then this episode is going to hit you in the chest, and liberate you.

This is the episode that pulls you out of survival mode, calls out your patterns, and gives you the clarity to finally act like the person you want to become.

Because life isn’t about negotiating your dream with your fear.
It’s about actually playing to win.

If you want help navigating this return (and the identity shift, emotional waves, and relationship dynamics that come with it), my programs are designed exactly for this season of your life.

Let me know when you’re ready to go deeper.

In this episode, I get real about something I’ve been feeling lately, the pressure to have everything figured out. After returning from an inspired event and two months in the US where I felt at peace, I noticed how easy it is to slip into control mode: trying to plan every detail, solve every uncertainty, and force clarity to come faster.

But here the thing, when we try to control everything, we leave no room for life to surprise us.

In this podcast episode, I share how the first step is simply to accept where you are: that you miss your time abroad, that life feels a bit “meh” right now, that you don’t have all the answers. And from that place of honesty, you can start to get obsessed again, in a healthy way.

Get obsessed with yourself, with your life, with fun. Remember what you were obsessed with abroad, the freedom, the curiosity, the aliveness, and bring that same energy here. If you came back to be closer to family, get obsessed with those moments together. If you want to rebuild your life, make it your mission to enjoy the process.

I’ll also share why releasing control is the secret to feeling inspired again. Instead of predicting how your week will go, plan for life to surprise you. Ask yourself:

• How can I bring more fun into my day?

• What’s one thing I can do differently today, just for me?

Maybe it’s watching the sunrise, finding a new spot to watch the sunset, or saying yes to something unexpected. Because this season isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about falling back in love with your life, one spontaneous moment at a time.

If you’ve ever come back to your home country and felt the urge to leave again, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking something that hides beneath so many return stories: the fear of commitment. The fear of staying. The fear of being trapped again.

I’ll share how my own return taught me to always keep one foot out the door, in relationships, in work, even in my business, and why so many of us unconsciously link commitment with losing our freedom.

We’ll dive into:

• Why coming home can awaken a fear of being stuck or shrinking.

• How this fear quietly shows up in your relationships, your career, and your dreams.

• The difference between chasing freedom and truly feeling free.

• How to reframe commitment as devotion, not a cage, but a path to what you love.

By the end, you’ll start to see your return not as something that broke your freedom, but as an invitation to rebuild it, from the inside out.

Returning home after living abroad can be a joyful yet disorienting experience. At first, everything feels familiar, but soon, you might notice a sense of disconnection, loneliness, or the feeling that you no longer truly belong.

In today’s episode of The Returner Support Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of belonging. Inspired by the book Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home, I explore why we often feel like outsiders in our own country, and how this is tied to showing up fully as ourselves.

We talk about:

• Why “fitting in” is not the same as truly belonging

• How past experiences abroad and at home shape your sense of self

• The difference between false belonging and authentic connection

• How to reclaim parts of yourself that have been hidden or suppressed

• Practical reflection questions to help you explore where and with whom you truly belong

Whether you’re struggling with reverse culture shock, feeling unneeded, or questioning your next steps, this episode will help you understand your emotions and start feeling at home in yourself and your country again.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and take a step closer to belonging, exactly as you are.

We’ve all been there, scrolling through Facebook groups for returnees and feeling our chest tighten with every post: “It’s impossible to make friends here.” “I feel so stuck.” “Life will never feel exciting again.”

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening beneath those reactions. It’s not just about the negativity of those posts, it’s about the quick stories our mind creates when we read them. I share why we make these instant associations (like “If they can’t find love, I won’t either”) and why these stories often have nothing to do with us.

We talk about the missing context behind people’s experiences abroad and back home, and why understanding that matters. Then, we go deeper, because this isn’t really about social media at all. It’s about the relationship you have with your home country. And just like in love, when that relationship changes, everything else changes too.

If you’re ready to shift how you see your return and stop letting other people’s stories shape your own, this episode will help you see the bigger picture, and reclaim your power to write a different one.

Most people fall back into an outdated version of themselves the minute they return home after living abroad.

I know, because I used to be one of them. Every time I went back, I slipped into old patterns, complaining, criticizing, settling for environments that didn’t make me happy, while secretly longing for the life I had abroad.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why we tend to fall back into our old selves when we return

• The same reason New Year’s resolutions don’t stick

• 3 steps to stop repeating old patterns and start creating a future you’re excited about

  
  

If you’ve ever felt like your best self only exists abroad, this one’s for you.

Leaving a place, and the people we love, always comes with a wave of emotions. In this episode, I share what it was like to say goodbye to my host family in the U.S., the sadness that came with it, and the patterns I noticed in myself as I navigated the days after.

I talk about:

• The stories we tell ourselves when we leave someone or someplace we care about

• How I allowed myself to feel the heaviness and what helped me get grounded again

• The little shift that made me start appreciating my day without forcing it

• A pattern I’ve seen in myself: clinging to sadness or even resenting the new place I’m in

• An invitation for you to get curious about how you handle the first few days after a goodbye

• 
  

If you’re in the middle of a transition, or holding the weight of a recent goodbye, this episode is a reminder that your emotions have wisdom to share, and that beauty is still around you, waiting to be noticed.

Have you ever gone back to a place you once lived, only to feel like old versions of yourself suddenly show up again?

In this episode, I share what I discovered while revisiting a place from my past, and how that experience can mirror what you might feel when you return somewhere familiar after years away.

We’ll talk about:

• Why younger versions of you might resurface when you revisit old environments

• The hidden beliefs and patterns that can come alive again (like people-pleasing or proving your worth)

• How to use these moments of discomfort as an opportunity for deeper self-awareness and growth

If you’ve ever wondered why going back to a familiar place feels so different than you expected, this episode will give you perspective, and remind you that these experiences can actually strengthen your relationship with yourself.

It’s hard to believe this is the 50th episode of the podcast, almost one year since I started!

In this special episode, I’m diving into a topic that so many returnees feel but rarely put words to: why it can feel like our time abroad was just a dream once we’re back home.

I explore two key themes: grief and integration.

• I share my very first day back home after two years abroad, what I felt, how I coped, and why it was so overwhelming.

• To draw a parallel, I open up about the grief I felt when I lost my ex, and the similarities between grieving a person and grieving a life chapter.

• I talk about the importance of acknowledging what you’re grieving, your life abroad, the version of yourself you used to be, and why clinging to the past is a natural reaction.

  
  

Then, I shift to integration, the process of weaving your time abroad into your life now. I explore:

• The fact that most people’s baseline state is “fine.” Okay. Nothing bad, but not really alive either. What if instead, you made aliveness your baseline

• Why feeling all your emotions (not bypassing the hard ones) is the gateway to joy, excitement, and presence.

• A simple tip to start integrating aliveness into your daily life.

  
  

This episode is for you if you’ve ever looked back on your time abroad and wondered if it was real, if you’ve struggled to find meaning back home, or if you want to carry that sense of aliveness with you into this next chapter.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I don’t know what I want for my life,” or you feel lost about what to do after your time abroad, this episode is for you.

We’ve been taught to ask the wrong questions, society often frames it all around career: What job will you do? Which degree will you choose? But if you don’t have that answer, it doesn’t mean you’re lost.

In this conversation, I share my own story from when I first returned home. I had a plan, but I still felt unsure and kept looking at what others had done to find inspiration. What I really needed to do was pause and ask:

• What do I already know about myself and my desires?

• Who is the version of me that lives the life I want?

• How does she think, act, and make decisions?

• 
  

We’ll explore how to shift from chasing job titles or certifications to becoming a match for your ideal vision of life, whether that’s more travel, more connection, or a deeper sense of purpose.

You’ll also hear practical examples (including from relationships) and why the better question isn’t “What did you do after your time abroad?” but “What was your process to figure it out?”

By the end, you’ll walk away with a new approach to designing your life after living abroad:

1. Get clear on what you already know about yourself.

2. Imagine your ideal life and the version of you who’s living it.

3. Learn from people who are thriving, not just what they did, but how they became who they are.

It’s time to stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking “Who do I need to become?”

We need to have a different conversation.

In this episode, I share why I'm done with the typical advice people give when you've come back from living abroad: keep yourself busy, plan your next trip, stay positive. These tips may come from good intentions, but they miss the heart of the experience.

I dive into a Facebook post from someone who’s been home for 10 months. She’s happy to see her family, she has a job… but she doesn’t like who she’s becoming. And I share what the comments said and why, despite being well-meaning, they fall short.

This episode is about what no one teaches us:
➡️ How to validate what we feel
➡️ How to ask ourselves what we actually need
➡️ How to not try to fix the feeling, but to feel it

I tell my own story, what it felt like when I returned the first time, how even people who cared about me gave me quick solutions instead of just sitting with my emotions. I share what I learned from crisis response training: that healing doesn’t come from being fixed, it comes from being heard.

We also explore:

• The grief no one talks about when you return home

• Why “I don’t like who I’m becoming” is a sign you’re shaming yourself

• What really changed when you were abroad (it’s not just the country, it was your mindset)

• Why trying to “go back” to who you were abroad doesn’t work, and what to do instead

This isn’t about recreating the past. It’s about evolving.
It’s about using what you lived abroad as a map, not a destination.

This episode is for the ones who came back home after living abroad, and now feel stuck, confused, disconnected… or like something magical got left behind.

But what if you’re not stuck?
What if you're just repeating a story you unconsciously decided a long time ago?

In this raw and honest episode, I’m inviting you to zoom out and realize:
You get to decide how your return feels.
How it looks. How it moves. How it evolves.

I share how I unknowingly created limiting stories when I returned to my country, like “home means responsibilities,” “I have to go back to school,” or “my family only gets me when I’m far away.” These stories shaped how I showed up… until I chose to change them.

Here’s the breakthrough:
💡 The story you’re telling yourself is what’s keeping you stuck.

From dating apps to family relationships, I show how the same patterns play out in different areas of life, and how rewriting the story changes everything.

You’ll learn:

• Why “home” doesn’t have to mean “the end of freedom”

• How putting “abroad” on a pedestal keeps you disconnected from the magic you already have

• What really happens when you stop shaming parts of yourself to fit in

• How to shift from “I don’t belong” to “I get to belong on my terms”

• The ripple effect of healing your relationship with your country, and how it transforms your relationships with love, money, family, career…

  
  

I’ll also walk you through the powerful truth that how you handle your return is how you handle every transition in life.

This episode will challenge you. Empower you. And remind you:
✨ You are the magic. Not the place.

In this episode, I open up about a recent spiral I experienced after coming back to the U.S., and the big realization that came with it: I was outsourcing my emotional validation instead of truly sitting with myself.

If you’ve returned home after living abroad and feel disconnected, stuck in the past, or constantly comparing life now to life then... this episode is for you.

Here’s what we explore together:

• The subtle difference between spending time with yourself vs. being with yourself

• Why we often rush to share big emotions with others before processing them internally

• How “I was happier abroad” becomes a self-fulfilling loop that keeps us stuck

• A short guided visualization to connect with the version of you who already has what you want

• Why treating your return differently is key to creating a different reality

• The power of reacting in unpredictable, soul-aligned ways instead of old patterns

  
  

This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more deeply, and get curious about what’s truly underneath the emotions you’ve been experiencing since being back.

Let’s start creating your next chapter, one that’s not just a repeat of the past, but rooted in your present truth.

In this raw and honest episode, I share what’s been unfolding since I returned to the US, and how, within just one week, this transition has already become a mirror for deeper healing.

I open up about the triggers that have resurfaced, especially around people-pleasing, usefulness, and the belief that I need to earn love and belonging. I realized I’ve placed my experience in the US, and even my host family, on a pedestal. But what happens when that pedestal starts to crumble?

Using the exact method I applied when I returned to my home country, I’m approaching this move with curiosity, self-awareness, and compassion. I walk you through how I lean into discomfort instead of avoiding it, and the powerful insights that emerge when I do.

One of the biggest questions I’m sitting with right now is:
👉 If I stop performing or being “useful,” will I still be accepted and loved?

I also share a simple practice that helps me reconnect with my body and emotions, allowing me to stay grounded and meet what’s really there, beyond the patterns.

This episode is for anyone who’s navigating a transition, facing old wounds in new places, or wondering how to show up authentically without fear of losing connection.

In this episode, I’m joined by Grace Grossman, yogi mentor, writer, and someone who has spent most of her life moving between cultures. Born in the UK with a German father, Grace has lived in Germany, Spain, and the UK, always flowing between the three, learning something new about herself in each place.

We dive into what it means to form an identity when your life spans multiple cultures. Grace doesn’t call it an identity crisis, for her, it’s a self-discovery journey. From feeling deeply relaxed and in flow in Spain, to embracing her boundaries and directness in Germany, she reminds us that each country brings out something that was already within us.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The nuances of identity when you’ve lived abroad and never fully fit into just one box

• The feeling of returning home and realizing you’ve changed, even if nothing around you has

• The fine line between expanding through travel vs. escaping through it

• Why labels can feel limiting, and how we can choose who we want to be

• Grace’s reflection that home is within you, no matter where you are

  
  

This episode is a reminder that your identity isn’t something you “find” in one place, it’s something you consciously choose and grow into over time.

A grounding, thoughtful listen for anyone navigating life between countries, or just trying to make peace with all the parts of themselves.

In today’s episode, I get honest about something that might sound silly, how I’ve been spiraling because of the heat. But what started as frustration with the weather opened up a deeper reflection on mindset, values, and the way we choose to experience life.

I share the moment I realized that when I was in Brazil, where it was even hotter, I actually thrived. So what’s different now?

We dive into:

• How your environment doesn’t define your experience, your mindset does

• Why small spirals can point to bigger misalignments

• The power of choosing to see every day as the best day of your life

• A powerful question to reconnect with what you value, both abroad and back home

  
  

This episode is for you if you’ve felt off lately, if you’re comparing yourself to who you were abroad, or if you need a reminder that you’re one mindset shift away from seeing beauty again.

Journal prompts at the end to help you reflect on what really matters to you, and whether you’re living from a place of expansion or fear.

In this episode, I dive into the topic of alignment, what it really means to live a life that feels right for you, and how to stop getting pulled in a thousand different directions by what everyone else is doing or saying.

I share personal stories from my time as an au pair and my travels in Southeast Asia, moments where I felt completely present, free from pressure, and not obsessed with what came next. But when I came back home? Suddenly, the noise returned: You need to get a degree. You need to figure it all out. You need to act like an adult. And with that noise came comparison, self-doubt, and the pressure to follow a path that wasn’t mine.

We talk about:

• Why coming back home can feel overwhelming and noisy

• The hidden pressure of being surrounded by family and societal expectations

• How different generations shaped their choices, and why it's okay for us to question the old models

• Why the problem isn’t always your country, the people, or the apps, and what taking radical responsibility really looks like

• The importance of knowing yourself so deeply that you stop making up stories when others say something that triggers you

• Why alignment doesn’t come from others’ advice, but from reconnecting with your own truth

At the end, I leave you with powerful reflection questions to help you check in with yourself, because the more you know who you are, the easier it becomes to make decisions that feel like you.

If you’ve ever felt torn between two worlds, unsure of your path, or like you’re falling behind... this episode is your reminder that you’re not. You’re evolving.

🎧 Tune in to reconnect with your inner compass and start living in alignment, on your terms.

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about a feeling that many of us experience after returning home: that quiet, persistent “off” feeling, even when everything looks good on paper.

You’ve got the job, the apartment, maybe even the social life. But deep down, something feels... disconnected.

I’m here to tell you: that feeling is not a sign that you need to run away or start over again. It’s a signal to get curious. To listen more deeply. To get radically honest with yourself.

In this episode, I share:

• Why this “off” feeling is actually an invitation to realign

• My favorite ways to reconnect with myself when I’m in this space (walking without headphones, journaling, dancing, meditating...)

• How I assess what’s misaligned by simply observing my thoughts for a week

• A powerful practice of reconnecting with the version of me who already has the life I desire and letting her guide my decisions

• A few real-life examples of what this has looked like for me

  
  

Whether you’ve been home for a few months or a few years, this episode is your reminder:
✨ You’re not behind. You’re evolving. And you can trust yourself through this transition.

Have you ever asked yourself “Who am I now?” after coming back home from living abroad?

In this episode, I dive deep into the identity crisis many people face when they return home after months or years abroad. I explore the different layers of identity, who you were before you left, who you became during your time abroad, and who you’re becoming now that you’re back.

We talk about:

• The roles and labels you carried before: in your family, at school, with friends

• The beliefs you built around those roles

• The new identities you embraced abroad, whether you were an au pair, exchange student, expat, or backpacker

• What happens when those identities no longer apply back home

• How to navigate the “in between” space of cultures and languages

• Why it’s not about choosing either/or but accepting all parts of yourself

• The shift from belonging to becoming, and why creating a vision for your life is key to moving forward

• How we attach ourselves to identity labels like “introvert” or “extrovert” to feel safe and understood, and what happens when those no longer fit

• 
  

If you’re feeling lost in the space between who you were and who you want to be, this episode will help you put words on what you’re experiencing, and start imagining what’s possible from here.

When we return to our home country after living abroad, it’s so easy to focus on what’s missing. What we don’t like. What we lost. We romanticize the place we left and feel stuck, like the best part of our life is already behind us.

In this episode, I invite you to shift your perspective. To look again.

What if it’s not about the country… but about how you’re seeing it?

I’ll share honest stories from my own journey and walk you through powerful mindset shifts that have helped me reconnect with life where I am, without pretending everything is perfect.

You’ll learn:

• Why we often resist the present and how to soften that resistance

• A daily practice to spot the good, even in small ways

• How to regulate your nervous system to make space for clarity and inspiration

• A guided invitation to imagine your ideal life, no matter where you are right now

  
  

This episode is a loving nudge to stop waiting for a different place or version of you to arrive. Your life isn’t over. It’s unfolding.

✨ Tune in to start seeing things differently, starting today.

In this deeply honest episode, I open up about the messy, emotional, and often surprising reality of moving back in with family after time abroad.

Before coming home, the idea of living with my family stressed me out, especially knowing I'd be between my dad's place in the middle of nowhere and a complicated past with my mom. I share the truth about what it’s been like to live through that: the boredom, the loneliness, the triggers… but also the small, intentional steps I’ve taken to reconnect, heal, and try to rebuild something with my mom.

This episode is a mix of reflections and real-life stories, some of them uncomfortable, some of them tender. It’s for you if you’re trying to make peace with where you are, wondering what your family dynamics are teaching you, or feeling disconnected from your vision.

Because when life feels slow, stuck, or emotionally charged… there’s usually a deeper reason.

✨ Listen in if you’ve ever asked:

• “Why does it feel so hard to be home?”

• “Is it possible to change a relationship with a parent?”

• “What am I supposed to do with this boredom or loneliness?”

• 
  

Sometimes the most ordinary moments are where the healing starts. And sometimes, your discomfort is the very thing pointing you back to yourself.

In this episode, we’re doing something most people avoid: getting radically honest with ourselves.

If you’ve returned to your home country, whether by choice or circumstance, it’s time for a check-in.

Where are you really at in your life right now? And where do you actually want to be?

I guide you through a compassionate but honest reflection:

• Why did you come back? Was it for family, studies, something else?

• Are you satisfied with how things are unfolding? If not, what small action could you take?

• How have you actually been feeling since you returned?

This episode is all about realignment.

This is not about pressure. It’s about setting gentle intentions, celebrating your progress (instead of only seeing the gap), and building bridges, one small action at a time toward the life you truly want.

In this episode, I dive deep into the complexities of making friends once you're back in your home country inspired by a Facebook post from a woman who found it difficult to reconnect socially after returning.

I explore the common experience of feeling like people back home aren’t as open to new connections, and how this isn't just about your country, it's about human nature, routine, and established circles.

But more importantly, I invite you to reflect: How did you show up when you were abroad? Were you curious, open, proactive? Are you showing up the same way now, or are you holding yourself back?

I share my personal journey of returning home and realizing that I was limiting myself based on old beliefs about "how people are" in my country. I talk about the power of clarity, knowing the kind of friendships, conversations, and experiences you want to cultivate, and how that clarity helps you attract your people faster.

Plus, I share some practical tools: apps, Facebook groups, and ideas to take the initiative and create your own community. Because the truth is, your people are out there, but you have to show up fully to find them.

If you're back home and feeling disconnected, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I open up about a wave of loneliness that hit me hard last Saturday. It was one of those moments where everything felt heavy, and suddenly, all I could see was what I didn't have anymore. If you’ve been through a similar feeling, especially after returning home from life abroad, you’re not alone.

Instead of trying to fix or push the feeling away, I chose to sit with it. To spend time with it. And in doing so, I discovered something surprising: beneath the loneliness, what I was truly missing was fun and playfulness.

I share how loneliness has a way of lying to us, making the past seem better than it was, disconnecting us from our vision for the future, and making everything we do have feel invisible. But when we stop resisting and start listening, there’s something to learn.

This episode is your gentle reminder that your emotions aren’t your enemies, they’re messengers. And maybe, just maybe, your loneliness isn’t about what you’ve lost… but about what you’re being called to create.

🎧 Tune in if:

• You’re feeling disconnected or misunderstood since coming home

• Loneliness has been weighing heavy lately

• You need a reminder that you’re not behind, just in a moment of pause

In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal chapter of my life, the time I spent in Canada, torn between what I thought I needed and what I truly wanted. I take you through my journey from Montreal to Winnipeg, where I stayed not out of love for the place, but from a place of scarcity, chasing permanent residency in hopes of creating stability before following my true dream of traveling through Latin America.

I share how anxiety built up as I postponed my desires, thinking I had to secure a base first. I reflect on why I didn’t want to return to my home country, especially after a difficult first return. This episode dives into the concept from "10x Is Easier Than 2x", about the trap of making decisions based on what you think you should do, rather than what truly aligns with your vision and values.

We explore the difference between freedom from and freedom to, and how crucial it is to ask:
🔹 Is this place expanding me or shrinking me?
🔹 Am I choosing this from alignment or fear?

Whether you're navigating a big move, considering a major life change, or feeling torn between comfort and growth, this episode is for you.

Going back to your home country after living abroad is so much more than reverse culture shock, it’s an emotional rollercoaster, an identity shift, and a deep invitation to meet yourself all over again.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 truths I wish someone had told me before I returned home. These aren’t the usual tips you find online, they're the hard-earned lessons I had to live through. If you’re about to go back, have already returned, or feel completely out of place back home… this one’s for you.

Here’s what we’ll dive into:

1️⃣ Why you can’t plan your future based on your past self—and how to start creating a vision that actually excites you.
2️⃣ The misery of expecting your old life to still fit, and how to shift from expectations to intentions.
3️⃣ The power of taking time to integrate who you became abroad—what you want to keep, and what it’s time to release.
4️⃣ How being back home can feel deeply triggering, but also, how it’s the fire that forges your next chapter.
5️⃣ Why being clear on your vision is non-negotiable, and how to move from faith, not fear.
6️⃣ The truth that how you handle your return sets the tone for the next 5 years of your life. No pressure, but also, yes pressure.

This episode is a permission slip to stop surviving your return, and start owning it.

If you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure about your next step, you are not alone. Hit play and let’s walk through it together 💛

Last week was a triggering one for me, and instead of holding space for my emotions, I fell back into that old pattern of trying to fix myself. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I share a real and raw reflection on what it means to accept yourself, especially in those messy, uncomfortable moments we often try to push away. When we come back home after living abroad, it's easy to think we should feel fine or have it all figured out. But often, what surfaces is shame, emotional overwhelm, and the urge to suppress what we think we “shouldn’t” feel.

We talk about:

• The trap of self-improvement as a form of self-rejection

• Why we shame certain parts of ourselves instead of accepting them

• How trying to “fix” your emotions only deepens the disconnection

• The link between self-judgment and being triggered by others

• Why your emotions aren’t who you are, and how to create space for them

• The reminder that true change doesn’t come from pressure, but from love

This is your invitation to slow down, soften, and stop rushing to be okay. You’re not broken. You’re human. And every part of you deserves compassion, especially the ones you’ve been trying to hide.

Have you ever felt like being back in your home country means you're right back where you started?

In this episode, I share a perspective shift that changed everything for me:

What if life brought you back not to punish you or undo everything you’ve become, but to offer you a chance to redo the past, with the person you are now?

You're not who you used to be.
You get to respond differently.
You get to choose yourself this time.

I also dive into the power of the stories we tell ourselves and how those stories can keep us stuck. Especially when we're blaming our country, our environment, or the people around us. There’s often a secret benefit hidden in the complaints, and once we uncover it, we can finally shift.

At the end, I leave you with a powerful tool to start taking action from your future self instead of your past self.

It’s time to reclaim your power, even if you're back where you started.

Many people returning home after living abroad get stuck in survival mode. They think the "rules" have changed, that back home, life is about numbing emotions, avoiding discomfort, and playing it safe. But the game of life is still the same. The goal isn’t just to avoid losing. It’s to play to win.

In this episode, I dive into:

🔹 How abroad, you allowed yourself to feel and experience life fully—but back home, you're told to suppress your emotions.
🔹 The difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose (and how to shift your mindset).
🔹 Why it’s your responsibility to create a life you enjoy, but NOT your responsibility to make others feel better about theirs.
🔹 The importance of being mindful of whose advice you take, if someone’s life doesn’t inspire you, why listen to them?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you don’t fit in since coming back home, this episode is for you. It’s time to rewrite the rules and start playing the game of life on your own terms.

In this episode, I open up about one of the deepest realizations from my return home:
It was never just about the country.

The discomfort. The disconnection. The judgment.

All of it was reflecting parts of myself I hadn’t fully accepted.

I share my personal story on how I rejected parts of who I was, the triggers that came up with my family, and the inner work that changed everything.

If you’ve been feeling out of place or resentful toward your country since coming back, this episode is an invitation to look within.

Because the way you feel about your home might just mirror the way you feel about yourself.

🎧 Tune in now and let’s dive deep together.

Ever feel like moving abroad and returning home is like playing a game you never signed up for? 🎮 In this episode, I break it all down as if it were a four-level game, because in a way, it is.

✨ Level 1: The Box – You’re living on autopilot, following the script society handed you.
🌍 Level 2: Awakening – You move abroad, expand your mind, and realize there’s more to life than you thought.
🧠 Level 3: Awareness – You return home and start questioning everything. You get to choose what beliefs to keep and which to let go of.
🔥 Level 4: Transformation – You discover that home isn’t a place—it’s who you are. You start creating your own reality, no matter where you are in the world.

I also share hacks to win the game so you don’t feel stuck at level 3 . This episode will help you navigate your journey with more ease and self-trust.

Let’s play! 🎧✨

You came back home wanting to be happy, to feel like yourself again, the version of you that thrived abroad. But instead, it feels like you’re stuck, like you’re falling behind while everyone else is moving forward. Why does it feel this way? And more importantly, how do you break out of it?

In this episode, we dive into:
✨ How your thoughts shape your reality—and why it’s so hard to change them
✨ A simple exercise to shake up your routine and stop living the same day on repeat
✨ The weight of “shoulds” and societal expectations (settling down, success, adulthood…)
✨ How to stop comparing yourself to others and create your own definition of success

If you’ve been feeling stagnant, lost, or behind since moving back home, this episode is for you. Let’s shift your mindset and redefine what life should look like, on your own terms.

Whether you're grappling with the transition back home or reflecting on the changes you've experienced, this episode offers insight and validation for your journey.

1. "How do I know if my need for traveling is just a way to escape my life?"
   We explore how travel can be a form of self-discovery or escape and discuss how to differentiate between the two. Understanding the deeper motivations behind your desire to travel can help you align with your true needs.

   Returning home after an extended period can leave you longing for the experiences you've had. I offer advice on how to process those feelings.

   
   

3. "After a few months, I'm not the surprise anymore... Everyone's moved on with their life, and I feel left out."
