In this episode, I share one of the hardest realities of living overseas—being far from family when they need you the most. I open up about a recent incident where my daughter’s home in Australia was vandalized while I was thousands of miles away in Dubai. Waking up to the news left me feeling helpless, unable to be there in an instant to protect her.

I talk about the emotional toll of not being physically present for your loved ones, the fear that lingers when you know there’s a potential threat, and the difficult decisions that come with ensuring their safety from afar. As a mother, thoughts raced through my mind—does she need to move? Should no one know her new address? How do I navigate this situation from across the world?

This episode is a raw and personal reflection on the sacrifices that come with chasing opportunities abroad and the heavy price of distance when family is everything.
