Artwork for The life of a Third Culture Kid therapist

Latest Episodes

A sense of inadequacy pervades for so many TCKs, and this week I'm reflecting (having had my own bruises triggered) on what pieces of our story make us sensitive to this - and how a sense of "good enough" matters...

Have you ever found yourself having finally achieved a goal or sitting in a chapter of life that you've been longing for... only to feel a sudden slump of mood, even a sense of dread? I have, and in this episode I ponder how it makes sense to me in t... more

Powerlessness is a theme that shows up a lot in TCK stories. In this episode I'm exploring why this is and the difficulty of owning the power we gain as adults.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Amazing psychological insights for TCKs

    I absolutely love this podcast! I wholeheartedly recommend it to all TCKs who have a chance to listen. I’m not sure I’ve ever felt so understood as when I’m listening to Rachel’s show. 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

  • So many “ah-ha!” Moments

    I’ve been listening to Rachel’s podcast for several years. I moved 7 times before I was 18, 11 of those years internationally as a military kid. As I grow into middle age I find the “ripple effect” of a highly mobile childhood to be confusing and frustrating at times. 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

  • 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

Q: What excites you most about working with TCKs and how this collaboration will unfold?
What excites me is seeing people work with their own strengths, noticing what helps them understand themselves better, and watching them apply what they learn to move forward with confidence, supported by an empathic, collaborative coaching approach.
Bonus - In Conversation with Mary!
Q: Do you want to talk to us about how you came to join Life Story and what you bring to working with TCKs?
I bring a trauma-informed, grief-focused coaching background to Life Story, with a strong emphasis on asking precise questions to help clients identify what they want to do and how to do it, while also honouring the emotional and relational dimensions of their stories.
