I was reminded recently of the nuance between doing things that we feel are good for us because we 'should' or because we want to treat ourselves well. It is not uncommon for me to hear TCKs (myself included!) preoccupied with trying to crack the 'ri... more
This week, I'm observing my behaviour around my garden - how I seem to get lost in how to keep showing up to it after the big push of landscaping... and how this is mirrored in many ways as I navigate settledness as a TCK.

This is a bit of processing moment today! I'm reflecting on those familiar sticking places we come back to - the same sinking feelings - and how we can disrupt the cycle by finding and naming the beliefs about ourselves that underpin them. And then c... more
Today I'm reflecting on how hard it can feel to tell our story in a way that fully reflects our experiences, and the pain of seeing our attempts to share misunderstood. These reflections took me to Rousseau's 'Surprised' piece - where he depicts a ti... more

That in itself would be enough to keep me tuning in, but Rachel also provides countless insights into TCK psychology which are hugely useful, as well as illustrating with stories from her own experience. The overall experience is edifying, comforting and healing. It has become essential listening for me. Absolutel... more

Rachel’s podcast is so reassuring because it helps me realize I’m not alone in many of the character traits and thought patterns that come from that kind of lifestyle. She offers great ideas for working with yourself instead of aga... more

Ukraine3 years ago - An amazing podcast from a gifted Storyteller!
I’m a huge admirer of Rachel’s therapeutic work already; her blog is touching, impressively vulnerable and frequently synchronous with whatever’s bothering me that week!
The addition of the podcast to the catalogue of support she puts into the TCK and other high mobility communities is an extremely welcome one. The soothing nature of Rachel’s voice and the music & background sounds she adds to the show are the perfect accompaniment to the middle of my week, and never fail to give me something t... more
