Welcome to Coming Home to Her — I'm Sofia.
⠀
I grew up on Maui, studied in Denmark, built my career in Lisbon, and now live in Vienna. I've started over more times than I can count, and this podcast is where I talk about it.
⠀
Honest weekly conversations about building a life on your own terms: living abroad, love, work, changing friendships, being a beginner again, and the moments no one prepares you for. Some solo, some with guests whose stories I love.
⠀
New episodes every week. Welcome home 🤍

Ep 43: How I Found Myself Again After Moving In With My Partner
When we were long distance, my independence came automatically. Then we moved in together, and I didn’t even notice it slowly disappearing.
In this episode, I’m sharing what it was really like moving to a brand new city for my relationship: no friends, no routine, no job, and leaning on him way more than I ever expected. I talk about the day I told him “I’m sorry, I love you, but I need a day to myself,” why asking for alone time isn’t selfish, the little things that make me feel like me again (hot girl walks, girl talk and dragging him to Pilates), and the moment I finally felt like this city was my home too.
If you live with your partner, or you’ve ever moved somewhere new for someone, I’d love to hear from you: what helps you feel whole on your own? Tell me in the comments 🤍

Ep 42: The Loneliest Part of Working From Home
Two months into a fully remote job, and I have thoughts. The flexibility is incredible — working from a beach in Lisbon, lunch workouts, visiting family without burning PTO. But nobody really talks about what it feels like when the walls of your apartment start caving in and all you want is to say good morning to someone.
This one’s for my fellow extroverts who genuinely love remote work and also kind of hate it.

Ep 41: 8 Years Abroad and I Still Say Hi in the Elevator
Nobody tells you that moving abroad means a new appointment every week, an accent that quietly changes, and a lot of silent elevator rides.It's been almost 8 years since I left Maui, and I've lived in 4 countries. In this episode, I'm sharing what nobody tells you: the endless bureaucracy (yes, I have another appointment tomorrow), why my friends back home now call me "the Euro girl," how hard it is to make friends in a more closed-off culture, and the European habits I will never adapt to. I will always say hello in the elevator.I also get honest about the emotional side: the loneliness, the nostalgia that hits hardest right after a trip home, calling my mom crying when I'm sick, and the very specific joy of an American supermarket.It's the hardest thing I've ever done, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
