Podcast Overview

Living an international life and raising kids abroad is amazing … and it can get intense! Being so far away from loved ones, the constant rounds of goodbyes, piecing together a cohesive education at multiple international schools, the eventual transition to university with its own brand of culture shock … and that's only a few of the factors adding complexity for globally mobile families. I'm on a mission to raise a healthier generation of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) - and the parents who raise them! That means making sure you know the pitfalls to avoid, and giving you practical measures that really help. I'll draw on my experience raising 3 TCKs, reading and research, experiences of friends and colleagues, including many international school teachers, counselors, seasoned coaches, artists and others doing fantastic work to ease the lives of expats around the globe. I believe we're stronger together. Join me for a heart to heart, full of warmth and compassion... for you and for me… because honestly I'm figuring it out as I go along, just like most parents! For more, see https://resilientexpats.com, and come hang out with me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ResilientExpats/); hearing from you would make my day!

You Are Changing the World, with David LaMotte

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes we lose track of how we impact those around us. Recognizing our power to effect change can be very uplifting. David says, </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Thinking you can</span> <strong>fix</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">the world is totally naive. But it's not naive to think you can</span> <strong>change</strong> <span style="font-weight: 400;">it. We change it all the time, whether we like it or not.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then it’s up to us to know when and how to engage with others who hold vastly different viewpoints.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode we talk about </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why so much patience is required when “returning” from abroad;</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to know when others have the bandwidth to hear what we have to say;</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What a peaceful society</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">really</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is;</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">and so much more.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RESOURCES mentioned in the episode: </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">David’s</span> <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/DavidLaMotte" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patreon community</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is where he shares music each week and hosts monthly gatherings online.

Re-Imagine Community, with Ivy Summer and Pare Gerou

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you like the idea of built-in community and connection combined with plenty of privacy? Do you wish your children had freedom to play outside and with neighborhood friends at any time?

There’s an information coffee Zoom every Friday, and the Outreach coordinator and original founder Pare Gerou is available for any and all questions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Greek Village Cohousing has just re-opened membership, and has had lots of interest from expat families who recognize the wonderful advantages of living in a cohousing community. It’s an instant tribe for the children, with an enriching environment and wonderful sense of freedom. It’s a strong support system for parents and leads to a relaxed and more fulfilling life as a parent: No more planning playdates or driving children all over the place. Pare says she found her years in cohousing transformational as a parent. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">RATHER READ?

Unlock Hidden Expectations, with Abby Williamson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As TCKs (and adults) work through the complex issues of identity, place and belonging, it can be really hard to express what’s going on inside.

What is Expat Family Connection?

Living an international life and raising kids abroad is amazing … and it can get intense! Being so far away from loved ones, the constant rounds of goodbyes, piecing together a cohesive education at multiple international schools, the eventual transition to university with its own brand of culture shock … and that's only a few of the factors adding complexity for globally mobile families.

I'm on a mission to raise a healthier generation of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) - and the parents who raise them! That means making sure you know the pitfalls to avoid, and giving you practical measures that really help. I'll draw on my experience raising 3 TCKs, reading and research, experiences of friends and colleagues, including many international school teachers, counselors, seasoned coaches, artists and others doing fantastic work to ease the lives of expats around the globe.

I believe we're stronger together. Join me for a heart to heart, full of warmth and compassion... for you and for me… because honestly I'm figuring it out as I go along, just like most parents! For more, see https://resilientexpats.com, and come hang out with me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ResilientExpats/); hearing from you would make my day!
