As world travelers we hop from one country to another leaving the familiar to carve out a new path in the next location. Often times we long for the "what ifs" in our journey.

What if we stayed in that country?

What if I stayed in that school?

What if I continued to pursue that career?

We ask lots of questions wondering what could have been, in this podcast Iona shares her story of grieving through the life not lived.

Had to sit on the topic of speaking up for yourself after this podcast. My guest Alberto joins me as he speaks about his experience on the topic and how he speaks to his kids about it as well.

Alberto was born in the USA to immigrant parents (Brazil and Egypt) and began to travel as young as 6 months old. His dad was a corporate nomad, so every 2 years, they'd pack up their home and move to a different country. He is a dad of two sons and moved them to Mexico when they were in elementary school. That was a lot more difficult than he thought it was since he thought all kids are "resilient." Alberto a teacher and work at a private international school.
