In this episode, we sit down with Elisabeth Hutman, a multilingual psychologist based in Madrid, to explore a topic many expats quietly struggle with: expat guilt.

Together, we unpack questions such as:

• Do people even realize when they’re experiencing expat guilt?
• What are the signs, and how can we recognize it in ourselves?
• How is expat guilt tied to our sense of identity?
• Are certain cultures more susceptible to it?
• What role does empathy play in shaping these feelings?
• Are there different forms of expat guilt?
• And most importantly: What tools or techniques can help us cope with being far from family and home?

Elisabeth offers deep insights and practical advice as we shed light on an emotional experience many expats and immigrants don’t even realize they’re carrying. If you're living abroad and struggling with hard-to-name feelings, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
