Talks with a TCK Friend

This week I am joined by my childhood friend Cali, who is a fellow Diplomat's Daughter for the Philippines. We talk about how our childhoods were similar yet different despite having parents that both worked for the Philippine Embassy abroad. 

Cali has lived in Australia, Belgium, the USA, and the Philippines and currently resides in Toronto, Canada.

She passes the time by reading, writing, and desperately wishing that she could own a dog.

My first guest on my TCK podcast is longtime friend Carissa Gobble! Carissa is a Third Culture Kid who grew up in four countries and four different states before the age of twelve. She works from home writing. She lives in the Portland, OR area with her husband, 4 children and cat.

The world that we live in has disregarded the importance of emotion for as long as I can remember. Sharing some of my thoughts on emotions and why I think it's important to take time to step back and let us feel.

Being a Third Culture Kid can get pretty lonely at times, but knowing there are others out there who share similar experiences makes me feel a little less alone. Created this platform to share my experience as a TCK in regards to mental health and how I was able to heal from childhood hurts in hopes to let other TCK friends around the world know they are not alone. I'll share more in the podcasts to come, but hope you can join me on this journey! Enjoy this first episode!
