A County Down Under

This episode is just a feel good episode to cheer you up and set you off on the right start before beginning your day.  We discuss all the nostalgic moments of the 90's and growing up in a world before no social media and how social media then changed everything.

This is a great one to listen to, lots of laughs and lessons to take from it.

Enjoy!

A raw and honest episode about the difficulties of living abroad and weighing up whether the beautiful lifestyle and gorgeous weather is worth missing the important people and moments back home. Will we ever have the answer about where to settle and when is it ever time to go home? I also discuss the difficulties of filling the void of home by going out partying at the weekends and the impact this can have on your mental health.

Tony Shaw is the owner and Managing Director of Indigenous Services Australia. Born on a reserve in Laverton, Western Australia, he is a Wongutha person and a child of the Stolen Generation; he was taken from his mother at an early age and raised in 16 institutions before the age of 14. Tony was raised “white” and forbidden to speak his native language or uphold any cultural beliefs, so when he was finally allowed to return to his family and his home, he was faced with so many challenges and found it difficult to feel like he belonged. This resulted in despair and depression, until eventually he sought the help of his Elders to teach him the language and ways of the Wongai people. Having inherited the fighting spirit of his mother, to whom he dedicates his work, he has embraced his culture and language, which is at the very core of his being. This land  always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Every week my inbox is inundated with questions on how to move to Australia, what to pack, how to find accommodation etc. So I thought I would create an episode on the most asked questions and answer them for you. Also, for those who want to move to Australia, but your partner doesn't...this one is for you too!

Remember to also check my highlights, reels and post for more information.

Hope this helps many of you who plan on making the big move this year.

This is my first ever episode recording in Ireland. I can't believe I am here. So many of us expats have only dreamed of this moment. In this episode I discuss the journey home, the documents I needed, the emotions and life at home after lockdown.

There are so many emotions. But it was all worth it when I saw my family for the first time in nearly 4 years. Family is all that matters, nothing else. It was worth all the worry and stress.

This is a famous quote from Dr Wayne Dyer and something I feel is great to end the year with. Don't die with your music still in you...it means that you don't allow yourself to live any life other than the one you were born to live and you don't allow anyone's opinions of you or what they might think of you, stop you from doing what makes you happy.



This last episode of the year is all about what this year has taught me with friendships, relationships, what is important, my values and why happiness is not a location, it comes from within. Make sure in 2022, you don't let anyone hold you back from your dream and always be true to yourself and your goals.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you for all the amazing support this year.

Today I discuss the trauma felt for expats abroad over the past two years of the borders being shut and the true impact social media trolls can have on the receiver. I decided to record this episode after a difficult week. I thought I would be completely honest with you all about how difficult things can get sometimes, tears and all!  On instagram we only show our highlights, but everyone has stuff going on behind closed doors. I hope this helps you know, you are not alone and to always choose kindness.

Since recording, the visa regulations have changed and so many temporary visas can now get home to see loved ones. Check out my instagram post on this for more information.

If you are struggling, please reach out and ask for help.  There is no shame in saying you are not ok.
