Eugene and Lukas got to sit down with author and speaker Taylor Joy Murray on her latest upcoming book "Stop Saying I'm Fine: Finding Stillness when Anxiety Screams." Taylor is a third culture kid who grew up in Japan and talks about her upbringing in Japan and America, and how these two cultures impacted her identity and also her struggle with anxiety and anorexia. The conversation was fruitful with helpful information from a mental health perspective and a Christian-spiritual perspective on the topics of anxiety. Check out her website and stay tuned for part two of the conversation next week.

Eugene and Lukas find themselves on the 7th week of their podcast and decided to make it a short one. Incorporating some biblical ideas of sabbath and what rest means to them, they discuss how this integrates with the clinical/pop culture practice of self-care.

Lukas and Eugene sit down with Sheri Bukowski, a professional therapist and colleague of Eugene's, to discuss the life of a "military brat." In this discussion we hear the stories of growing up in a military family, the many moves that characterized her life, and how she became who she is today. We also talk about identity formation and sifting through a variety of cultural experiences, how one finds wholeness in the midst of pain, and fun stories about Italian food and getting lost in Italy.

Whether it's mailing out 300 letters while waiting for a plane, or rushing to the farthest gate possible, or constantly worrying about your itinerary many of these experiences bring about a sense of being at home for us TCKs.
