May 31, 2024 To Be Seen and Heard (ft. Michael Sullivan)
To be seen and heard is a struggle most TCKs go through thinking their existence can be overshadowed by what their parents do. In this conversation we talk about what it means to feel heard and how our experiences molded us to be who we are today.

Michael is an American by passport. He grew up as an MK from Chiang Mai, Thailand and served the US Navy for 12 years. He have a wonderful wife and 4 kids and they are home based in Cebu, Philippines. He is currently an aspiring author and TCK podcaster working as a goodwill ambassador for the US Department of State in Isparta, Turkiye at Süleyman Demirel University as an English instructor.

May 25, 2024 Experiences of a TCK Teacher (ft. Amy Shuflin)
Our guest today talks about her experience of what it's been like to be a teacher (among other things) to TCKs at different international schools, what it's like to move her family across the globe and the different joys and struggles she has faced in in her journey.

Amy is originally from the corn fields of Illinois, USA, became an adult and made a family in the beautiful mountains of Venezuela, currently living in the lovely warmth of Malaysia. My passion has always been student care, but this has expanded over the years to caring for not only students but their teachers and their parents as well. I will always be a barista at heart and my favourite place is sitting in a café enjoying live music.

May 04, 2024 Traveling with Pets (ft. Emily Wilson)
Ever wanted to travel with your pets, but didn't know where to begin? In today's episode our guest Emily Wilson will be joining us as she talks about how she hops around the globe with her furry friends.

Emily is a TCK who went back and forth between California and South Africa, she and her family treated our jack russell like family. He came with them on their travels. So, when she got my first dog as an adult , it made complete sense to bring her from Kenya back to California and a few years later she went with them to Ecuador before returning to California.
"We love traveling and we love our dogs. It’s not always easy to combine the two especially when that means getting on flights or crossing borders. That's why I created Pets Around the World because I know there are others who would like to move or visit somewhere new and they want to bring their pets with them. " - Emily Wilson

April 19, 2024 Unseen Baggage (ft. T.L. Mazumdar)
TL joins us on this episode as we talk about some of the unseen baggage we TCKs have to navigate through on a daily basis from interacting with mono cultural people, and addressing some of the baggage we have been carrying around when people aren't looking.

Indo-German Musician/Educator EveryNowHere aka T.L. Mazumdar has been nominated for national awards and called ''...a major talent'' by the likes of Jack Douglas (Producer: John Lennon, Miles Davis, etc.).
A quintessential Third Culture Kid and nomad, his music celebrates the acceptance of a blur of constantly changing backdrops as 'home' and the shedding of socio-cultural baggage to reveal stories closer to the truth of the human condition.
