💕 In this Episode we get real about how our relationships have shifted since moving abroad.

From intimacy and gift-giving to figuring out who settled in first (and who’s still finding their groove), we talk about the ups, downs, and everything in between. It’s an honest convo about love, growth, and what it’s really like building a life together in a new place.

In this episode of the Hold To Talk podcast, we try something different, interviewing our family members, we welcome our niece Libby to introduce the episode.

We then welcome our older sister and mum onto the podcast, to discuss how they feel about being the ones we left behind.

The conversation flows from introductions to deeper discussions about maintaining relationships across distances, with lighthearted moments sprinkled throughout.

In this heartfelt episode of Hold to Talk, we open up about the often unspoken side of expat life—homesickness.

From the heartache of missing aging parents to the loss of a beloved family pet, we share honest stories about love, loss, and the bittersweet goodbyes that come with living far from home.

The conversation dives into cultural differences, the role of technology in staying connected, and how distance reshapes relationships over time.

With warmth and candor, we reflect on what it means to embrace change, honour family ties, and find strength in new chapters abroad.

Whether you’re an expat, a traveler, or simply someone who’s ever missed home, this episode will resonate.
