But the fresh start (plus adding a new family member) brought the opportunity to figure out what mattered most to them. Whether it's picking and choosing parenting styles from two different cultures or choosing a new line of work while living abroad, Lisa has learned to find the balance between the foreign and familiar.

Muslim women have always been a close part of Marilyn's life. Growing up as a TCK, they were like her aunts and second moms. As she became older, Muslim women became some of her closest friends. Differences in religions can certainly complicate things sometimes -- maybe even challenge our own faith -- but when a foundation of respect is built, cross-cultural friendship can prove to be just as deeply rooted as friendships we have within our own culture.

But Colette assures the students (and us) that their marriage does not come without a lot of hard work, commitment, and sometimes having the same conversation over and over and... well, you get the point.

Join us as we chat with Lauren Pinkston about adoption, moving between different countries (4 to be exact), and doing the things we said would never, EVER do. You'll also hear a little bit about the fair trade business started and how she handles herself when invited to "ELITE" events with local friends. You won't want to miss that story.

Welcome to the NEW podcast from Taking Route. We're not going to lie, starting a podcast in a country known for frequent power outages (and having poor internet connection) definitely complicates things. Nevertheless, we are determined to bring you quality conversations from expat women around the globe. We have SO many topics to cover and we can't wait to bring you into the conversation. To start things off, Denise and Alicia chat in this "trailer" episode about what you can expect from this podcast and how there's never a moment in life when a quote from Friends is not applicable.
