The Expat Therapist: Navigating Mental Health

You’ve decided to move abroad—but instead of support, you’re met with doubt, criticism, and endless “Are you sure?” questions. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into why we crave validation from loved ones, how to hold space for their concerns without letting them dictate your decisions, and the key to transforming criticism into wisdom that fuels your journey instead of holding you back.

Whether you’re facing resistance from family or struggling with self-doubt, this conversation will help you set boundaries, protect your energy, and move forward on your terms.
