  • So motivating!!

    I really loved this trailer and cannot wait for more content from Ariel! I loved hearing her story and about the journey that led to her life in Spain, as well as learning about the obstacles that she had to overcome. It's a great reminder that good things take hard work and commitment. I finished this trailer feeling so inspired! I especially loved the journal prompt at the end to really start an inner dialogue about a potential move abroad. 5 stars!!!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

080 Q&A from The FB Expat Women Community
Q: Is it normal to feel lonely even when surrounded by people?
Yes, loneliness is common and often due to resonance rather than proximity; suggests seeking like-minded expats, language/connections, and sometimes therapy to restore a sense of belonging.
080 Q&A from The FB Expat Women Community
Q: What actually helps you feel like yourself again after the move abroad?
Acknowledge evolution, reconnect with current self, slow down, check in with body signals, and use CBT links to connect thoughts, feelings, and actions while building routines and supportive networks.
080 Q&A from The FB Expat Women Community
Q: I want more in life but don't know where to begin. How do I find alignment without forcing a long-term plan?
Encourage journaling to identify what feels alive and true in the moment, emphasize alignment over immediate clarity, and recommend focusing on 2–3 next steps rather than distant goals.
080 Q&A from The FB Expat Women Community
Q: First question: since I moved abroad, I feel like I'm on edge more and I'm snapping at my family for the smallest things. How can I control this side of me?
The host explains it's not about personality loss but about the nervous system under chronic, low-level stress; suggests stepping away before reacting, slowing breath, decompression, and short grounding practices to regulate emotions in the moment.
078 A TCK’s Perspective: My Son on Living Between Spain and the U.S.
Q: What was it like starting at a new school in a language you didn't speak?
It was difficult at first; I didn't understand much, but over time I made friends and things became better as I learned the language and adapted.
