Expat-ish: Life Between Cultures

You can love the life you chose and still miss the one you left.

In the first episode of Expat-ish, Janice Diaz and Trice Turner introduce the conversation behind the show: what happens to your identity, relationships, and sense of belonging after you move abroad?

We talk about the pressure to perform happiness because you chose this life, the loneliness that can coexist with gratitude, and the strange experience of becoming a beginner again. We also explain why Expat-ish exists, who it is for, and why reinvention deserves more honesty than a before-and-after photo.

Whether you're living overseas or finding your way through another kind of life change, this is a place to be complicated, unfinished, and understood.

In this episode:
• Life abroad beyond the honeymoon phase
• Identity, cultural displacement, and the search for belonging
• Missing a place you left on purpose
• Why gratitude cannot replace community
• What to expect from Expat-ish and The Otherhood

Produced and hosted by Janice Diaz, with co-host Trice Turner.
