This Expat Life

#91 What to do when you’re not okay (and can’t quite explain why)


Listen Later

Have you ever had one of those weeks where nothing is technically wrong… but your body, your emotions, and your brain are all just slightly out of sync?

That was me last week.

In this solo episode of This Expat Life, I open up about a very wobbly, very real week - one where I felt exhausted, anxious, numb, unfocused, and disconnected from myself… for no obvious reason. And as I started sharing it on Instagram, so many people said, “Oh wow, me too.”

So I knew I wanted to bring this conversation here.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause, surrender, and give ourselves what we actually need instead of pushing harder.

This conversation is especially for you if:

 🌍 You’re abroad and far from the people who usually ground you

 🌙 You’ve been feeling low-energy, anxious, or numb

 🧠 Your mind is busy but you can’t quite pinpoint why

 💛 You’re craving softness, spaciousness, and a bit of self-compassion

And in this episode I share the 5 things I did last week that helped me to get back to my grounded, powerful self.

I hope this episode lands softly with you — and gives you a moment to breathe, reset, and feel seen.

If something resonated or you had an “oh wow, that’s me” moment, I’d love to hear from you.
