Episode Details

In this episode, I dive into one of the heaviest parts of expat life: the guilt that comes with being far from family.

For anyone who’s moved abroad or is considering it, the decision is often clouded by questions like, Will I miss out on time with my parents? Will my kids know their grandparents? What happens if there’s an emergency?

I share my personal experiences, including the emotional challenges of being an ocean away when family emergencies happen. I'll open up about how I cope with these feelings, ways my family has stayed connected despite the miles, and why choosing this path for my family’s best life doesn’t mean I don’t carry the weight of being far from loved ones.

If you'd like to chat, find out more, or just get a window into the life of an expat, I've got you. Head on over to Instagram and come along (@iammistelle)
