Do you ever feel as though you have one foot in your current home and one foot in your original home?

When you're in your current home, you miss your family and country and culture, but when you visit your original home, it doesn't feel completely right anymore either.

When you're there, there's something missing.

When you're here, there's something missing.

But where are you in all this?

Let's get both your feet back on track in this episode of The Chic Immigrant.

As I finished my presentation at the Words on the Waves Writers Festival, a beautifully dressed lady shyly approached my book table and said the most touching thing to me.
She thanked me and said,

“It felt like you were telling the story of my life.”

This was the first of several wonderful conversations I had with the guests at my talks, and I learnt soooo much.

So in this episode, I want to share 4 of the lessons I learnt from these conversations, and turn each one into a message that I hope you'll find useful and uplifting.

Come and join me!

It's likely true that everyone who has ever learnt a new langauge has had the desire to speak that language as fluently and clearly as the locals. Would you agree? But here's the thing about that . . . by sounding just like the locals, are we erasing a part of our personality?

Join me on this episode as we explore the fears and practicalities of speaking a new language, and three perspectives that could make you feel much better about it all!

Home. That delightful feeling of comfort and familiarity that we sometimes crave when we are separated from it and from those we love.

But there's more to homeickness than the desire to be surrounded by our special people. When you look a little deeper, there are particular emotions and thoughts at play when we feel homesick. Emotions and thoughts that reveal an underlying desire. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could play with that underlying desire and transform the sensation of homesickness into something empowering and uplifting?

So this week, let's see how we night re-style homesickness by adding some chic magic!

Can you picture a version of yourself who is self-assured, who feels absolute clarity about herself, who feels an energy and a passion that propels her out of bed and into her days with focus and with delightful expectation?

Have a look at her. I'm betting she looks pretty good, right?! She's rocking her self-confidence in her smile, her warmth, her optimism, and it's attracting the most wonderful encounters that open her world to her.

Join me in this episode where we define what it means to be a chic immigrant, and how confidence looks soooo good on you.

It turns out that the ordinary things in our lives have the power to create extraordinary happiness. And that these ordinary things can be found in all cultures, and have the same effect of sparking joy for people all over the world. These things are all visual. They're really cool, and something that you can style into your own surroundings in the easiest of ways.

So, are you ready to style your own joy with some simple visual elements throughout your home? Let's do this!

Sometimes when we're surrounded by people who are very vocal and feel very strongly about their opinions and how they think others should be, it can be easy to question yourself and wonder if the way these people think and act and react is actually the way you're supposed to be.

But the flip side to that, is that if you come to realise that you're own opinions and thoughts and actions and reactions are very different to theirs, and that you can not only be ok with that, but actually enjoy being who you are, and then be yourself on purpose, then you will float into a freedom that is so worth the journey to get there.

This is a meaningful episode about the freedom and joy of being more you.

I hope you feel fabulous after listening to it.

Have a beautiful time being you!

Have you ever felt like you in between two stages of your life?  You know there are new things up ahead, but they're not quite there yet.  And here you are, kinda stuck between your past experiences and your future experiences.

How does one go about "finding" oneself?
