168: Mei Li's journey from Beijing to the bush


Listen Later

Mei Li was born in China but moved to the US when was 11. She married young, and had two children with her first husband, but when that relationship ended, she found herself torn between two worlds, co-parenting from the other side of the world. Mei was working for a law firm when she met her second husband Hugh, an Aussie bloke who was a long way from home. After having a daughter together, it was Mei's idea to uproot and move to Australia to Hugh's family farm in rural NSW. For Mei, the past few years have given her the stability and the permanent home she'd been chasing all her life. Culturally, her upbringing in China was very different to what most of us experienced and it's had an impact on Mei's motherhood journey. She's done the work and some deep inner child healing from intergenerational trauma so she can now be the mum she wants to be. This is her story.
