Third Culture Kids and decisions - it's a topic that comes up a lot and here I work with the distinction between a decision deciding the kind of person we are versus knowing the kind of person we are making sense of our decisions.

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 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
