Michele has lived the life of a TCK so when she speaks about it sho really knows what she is talking about. It is so nice to listen to a podcast that not only understands me, but also wants to help me live out my TCK-ness in the best possible way. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!
(I am a TCK as well, and have raised my 3 kids as TCKs in Eastern Europe.)
The insight into the background I have always had a hard time explaining is spot on. Thank you Michéle for helping me put things into words that I haven’t been able to up until now. Keep up the good work!
First off, Michele’s voice is comforting, empathic, encouraging and just so beautiful to listen to. The content that is about to be shared in future episodes are so vital to so many in our lives today. I’m stoked for the next episode! Here for it, Michele! Love you!

This show centers on Third Culture Kids (TCKs), missionary families, and cross-cultural parenting, exploring the emotional and logistical realities of growing up and living between cultures. Episodes routinely blend practical resources, storytelling, and reflective discussion to help families navigate transitions, reintegration, and identity, often with a faith-informed perspective. A standout angle is the host's blend of personal experience as a TCK with guest expertise, offering actionable exercises, journaling ideas, and family activities to anchor children through change and to support adult listeners in processing their own global upbringings.
