In this final episode of our series, Kim is interviewing French women to gain a rare and honest window into how they think about everything from work, motherhood, relationships, style and life overall. We’ll have real conversations that go beyond the cliches and offer perspective, advice and inspiration.

Our guest today, Melanie Forsinetti, was born in the southwest of France, built her early career in Paris, then moved abroad after meeting her husband living in Mexico, Madagascar, Cambodia and Thailand before returning to France six years ago. She’s a mother of four daughters and brings a deeply international perspective shaped by years of raising children across cultures.

Over a glass of champagne, Kim and Melanie talk about motherhood, marriage, moving across countries for love, and what it means to build a family life between cultures. They get into raising multilingual children abroad, the challenge of helping kids feel French after growing up in international environments, the cultural differences between French and American ways of relating, and Melanie’s journey from TV production and advertising into coaching, strength training and mental performance.
