Most people fall back into an outdated version of themselves the minute they return home after living abroad.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

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.

| 38. Family, Triggers & Returning Home After Time Abroad | 27 May 2025 | 00:40:24 | |
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:
Sometimes the most ordinary moments are where the healing starts. And sometimes, your discomfort is the very thing pointing you back to yourself.

| 37. Radical Honesty: A Check-In for Life After Moving Back Home | 20 May 2025 | 00:28:13 | |

I guide you through a compassionate but honest reflection:

| 36. How to Make Friends Again After Returning Back to Your Home Country | 13 May 2025 | 00:34:56 | |
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.

| 35. The Kind of Loneliness No One Talks About | 06 May 2025 | 00:25:53 | |
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:

| 34. When Stability Delays Your Dreams | 29 Apr 2025 | 00:34:39 | |
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: Whether you're navigating a big move, considering a major life change, or feeling torn between comfort and growth, this episode is for you. 🔗 Join Reignite Your Spark (6 weeks group program) : Here 🔗Book Your First 1:1 Coaching Appointment (the first one is free) : Here 🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here 🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : Here 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here Hosted on Ausha.

| 32. Don’t Rush to Be ‘Fine’, You’re Not Broken, You Don’t Need to Be Fixed | 15 Apr 2025 | 00:26:13 | |
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:
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. 🔗 Watch the Masterclass Rebirth Here 🔗 Register to my 3 months 1:1 coaching program : Here 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here Hosted on Ausha.

| 19. You Are Made For More: Creating Your Own Path | 14 Jan 2025 | 00:36:27 | |
In today’s episode, I dive into the powerful realization that you are made for more. I share a personal story about the first time I lived abroad and how it was an awakening moment. Living outside my home country opened my eyes to a world of possibilities—what once felt like a black-and-white life in my home country suddenly turned into a vibrant, colorful experience abroad. However, going back home was difficult because I craved that color, that sense of freedom and possibility. I mistakenly thought I needed to go elsewhere to find it again, but the truth is—I am the color. You are the color. I explain that when I say "you are made for more," I mean you are here to create your own path and reality. The challenge isn't about being back in your home country; it's about finding what truly matters to you, embracing it, and being brave enough to explore new things that will help you craft your unique journey. Tune in to hear how you can break free from the black-and-white thinking and begin living a more colorful and fulfilling life, no matter where you are. You don’t need to go somewhere else to find what you’re looking for—you already have everything you need to create your own path. More content from me : The returner support Hosted on Ausha.

| 49. Who Do You Need to Become? Rethinking Life After Your Time Abroad. | 13 Aug 2025 | 00:33:39 | |
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:
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:
It’s time to stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking “Who do I need to become?” Want personalized support for your return journey?

| 48. If You Miss Who You Were Abroad… Listen to This First. | 05 Aug 2025 | 00:38:21 | |
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: 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:
