The Places We Call Home podcast

When I moved to the United States for the first time, I had no idea how much it would stretch me, soften me, undo me, and rebuild me. I’ve relocated six times now, and every move has taught me something about courage, belonging, and the quiet work of creating a life from scratch.The Places We Call Home is the podcast I wish I had during those early years — a place for expat and immigrant women who are navigating homesickness, culture shock, loneliness, friendship, identity, and the long, tender process of starting over in the USA.I created this space for women like us — women who have left the familiar behind and are learning how to belong again. Here, we talk honestly about the emotional side of moving abroad: the friendships that don’t work out, the moments you feel invisible, the ache for home, the joy of small wins, and the surprising ways we grow when we’re pushed into a new life.You’ll hear real stories from global women who have rebuilt their lives across borders, as well as my own reflections on what it means to be an expat woman in America — the challenges, the reinvention, the resilience, and the unexpected beauty of it all.If you’re trying to make friends in the U.S., if you’re wrestling with identity, if you’re rebuilding your confidence, or if you’re simply trying to understand who you are in this new place, this podcast will sit with you in that journey. You’re not behind. You’re not alone. You’re becoming — and you’re doing it with more courage than you realize.Subscribe to The Places We Call Home on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. Take me with you on your walks, your commutes, your quiet evenings, and those moments when the ache of “elsewhere” feels a little too loud.This is your space. Your story matters here.
