On today’s podcast, we have a guest who might be familiar to many: Ruth Van Reken, author of Letters Never Sent, and Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds.Growing up overseas before there was a concrete explanation of Third Culture Kids, Ruth had to navigate through the emotions, gifts, and baggage of a cross-cultural lifestyle on her own. Now she does her best to raise awareness of these joys and struggles so that families can be well equipped for these experiences. Listen as she shares her life story and answers some questions suggested by listeners about the tools and methods she has learned to help develop the capacity of these TCKS to be a positive influence on the world.
