  • #196 A kid's take on life abroad—Isabelle, 10

    Most TCK, or, Third Culture Kids, can't quite put a finger on

    exactly what that term means. But not so with 10-year-old Isabelle
    Kristensson. Born of European parents, Isabelle spent a couple of
    years in Shanghai a few years back, then moved to California. She
    loved her school, the community and life in America, but not long
    after their move she longed for another overseas adventure and
    jumped at the chance to move back to Shanghai. What is it about
    expat life that has her coming back for more, and how is it that
    she feel so at home wherever life as a TCK takes her? Tune in to
    find out! // Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Concordia

  • #195 Balancing the three pillars of general well-being, with Jill Burns

    It's undeniable that life overseas can be hectic. There are many

    small, daily challenges in the adjustment process and beyond that
    add up and keep us more worn out than many would like to admit or
    even realize. Ally's guest Jill Burns, owner of Shanghai Fitness
    443 and registered dietician, argues that our overall well-being
    hangs in the balance of our physical, emotional and spiritual
    health; when one leg crumbles, it's not uncommon for the other two
    to come crashing down as well. Why are these important to upkeep as
    a whole, how to do we prioritize them in our lives, and where can
    we go for help? Tune in to find out. // Connect with Jill by email
