In this episode, I get real about something I’ve been feeling lately, the pressure to have everything figured out. After returning from an inspired event and two months in the US where I felt at peace, I noticed how easy it is to slip into control mode: trying to plan every detail, solve every uncertainty, and force clarity to come faster.

But here the thing, when we try to control everything, we leave no room for life to surprise us.

In this podcast episode, I share how the first step is simply to accept where you are: that you miss your time abroad, that life feels a bit “meh” right now, that you don’t have all the answers. And from that place of honesty, you can start to get obsessed again, in a healthy way.

Get obsessed with yourself, with your life, with fun. Remember what you were obsessed with abroad, the freedom, the curiosity, the aliveness, and bring that same energy here. If you came back to be closer to family, get obsessed with those moments together. If you want to rebuild your life, make it your mission to enjoy the process.

I’ll also share why releasing control is the secret to feeling inspired again. Instead of predicting how your week will go, plan for life to surprise you. Ask yourself:

• How can I bring more fun into my day?

• What’s one thing I can do differently today, just for me?

Maybe it’s watching the sunrise, finding a new spot to watch the sunset, or saying yes to something unexpected. Because this season isn’t about having it all figured out, it’s about falling back in love with your life, one spontaneous moment at a time.

If you’ve ever come back to your home country and felt the urge to leave again, this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re unpacking something that hides beneath so many return stories: the fear of commitment. The fear of staying. The fear of being trapped again.

I’ll share how my own return taught me to always keep one foot out the door, in relationships, in work, even in my business, and why so many of us unconsciously link commitment with losing our freedom.

We’ll dive into:

• Why coming home can awaken a fear of being stuck or shrinking.

• How this fear quietly shows up in your relationships, your career, and your dreams.

• The difference between chasing freedom and truly feeling free.

• How to reframe commitment as devotion, not a cage, but a path to what you love.

By the end, you’ll start to see your return not as something that broke your freedom, but as an invitation to rebuild it, from the inside out.

Welcome back to The Returner Support Podcast, the only show dedicated to the real experiences of returning to your home country after a long time abroad. Today we’re diving deep into one of the toughest challenges many returnees face: living with family again and navigating the emotions, expectations, and old patterns that come up.

In this episode, I share my personal story of returning home after years abroad, living with my parents, and confronting feelings of anger, resentment, and unworthiness that had been buried for years. I’ll take you step by step through how I processed these emotions, grieved my past experiences, and ultimately transformed my relationship with my family by showing up as myself and creating the love I needed within.

You’ll learn:

• How being back home can trigger old emotional patterns and unresolved memories.

• Practical strategies to give yourself the support, love, and validation you didn’t get before.

Returning home after living abroad can be a joyful yet disorienting experience. At first, everything feels familiar, but soon, you might notice a sense of disconnection, loneliness, or the feeling that you no longer truly belong.

In today’s episode of The Returner Support Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of belonging. Inspired by the book Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home, I explore why we often feel like outsiders in our own country, and how this is tied to showing up fully as ourselves.

We talk about:

• Why “fitting in” is not the same as truly belonging

• How past experiences abroad and at home shape your sense of self

• The difference between false belonging and authentic connection

• How to reclaim parts of yourself that have been hidden or suppressed

• Practical reflection questions to help you explore where and with whom you truly belong

Whether you’re struggling with reverse culture shock, feeling unneeded, or questioning your next steps, this episode will help you understand your emotions and start feeling at home in yourself and your country again.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and take a step closer to belonging, exactly as you are.

We’ve all been there, scrolling through Facebook groups for returnees and feeling our chest tighten with every post: “It’s impossible to make friends here.” “I feel so stuck.” “Life will never feel exciting again.”

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening beneath those reactions. It’s not just about the negativity of those posts, it’s about the quick stories our mind creates when we read them. I share why we make these instant associations (like “If they can’t find love, I won’t either”) and why these stories often have nothing to do with us.

We talk about the missing context behind people’s experiences abroad and back home, and why understanding that matters. Then, we go deeper, because this isn’t really about social media at all. It’s about the relationship you have with your home country. And just like in love, when that relationship changes, everything else changes too.

If you’re ready to shift how you see your return and stop letting other people’s stories shape your own, this episode will help you see the bigger picture, and reclaim your power to write a different one.

Most people fall back into an outdated version of themselves the minute they return home after living abroad.

I know, because I used to be one of them. Every time I went back, I slipped into old patterns, complaining, criticizing, settling for environments that didn’t make me happy, while secretly longing for the life I had abroad.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why we tend to fall back into our old selves when we return

• The same reason New Year’s resolutions don’t stick

• 3 steps to stop repeating old patterns and start creating a future you’re excited about

  
  

If you’ve ever felt like your best self only exists abroad, this one’s for you.

Leaving a place, and the people we love, always comes with a wave of emotions. In this episode, I share what it was like to say goodbye to my host family in the U.S., the sadness that came with it, and the patterns I noticed in myself as I navigated the days after.

I talk about:

• The stories we tell ourselves when we leave someone or someplace we care about

• How I allowed myself to feel the heaviness and what helped me get grounded again

• The little shift that made me start appreciating my day without forcing it

• A pattern I’ve seen in myself: clinging to sadness or even resenting the new place I’m in

• An invitation for you to get curious about how you handle the first few days after a goodbye

• 
  

If you’re in the middle of a transition, or holding the weight of a recent goodbye, this episode is a reminder that your emotions have wisdom to share, and that beauty is still around you, waiting to be noticed.
