In this episode of Armchair Expat, host Shannon Acton sits down with Christine Job, J.D.—an award-winning storyteller, strategist, and creator of the acclaimed podcast Flourish in the Foreign. Christine shares her deeply personal and transformative journey from Atlanta to Spain, detailing the burnout that led her to take a sabbatical, the unexpected magic of walking the Camino de Santiago, and how Spain became the place where she found clarity, community, and creative freedom.
We explore the cultural differences between the U.S. and Spain, especially around work, rest, and wellness—and how living abroad can be both a mirror and a catalyst for personal growth. Christine also talks about the power of storytelling, the evolution of her podcast, and her upcoming book exploring Blackness, womanhood, migration, and wellness.
If you’re navigating expat life, dreaming of moving abroad, or rethinking your relationship to work and wellness, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and grounded.
