In this episode, I talk to expat coach Kim Adams, founder of Resilient Expats, who coaches families, schools and teachers on how to develop emotional skills and how to turn the challenges of expat life into strengths. Kim and her family, originally from Missouri in the US, have spent the last ten years in Thailand and Oman. This episode is Part 1 of the conversation with Kim, which was recorded before COVID-19 hit the news. Part 2 to follow next.

This episode is all about what it's like to be a triangle, finding your true identity and coming to grips with the English sense of humour. Cath talks about her journey from Australia to the UK, and why nothing comes close to a proper Sydney Flat White.
