   S03E07 Where is home, when every Country is Temporary?

   What Does Home Mean When You Grow Up Between Cultures? | A Conversation with Sam Frearson-Tubito What happens when moving between countries and cultures becomes part of your story from an early age? How does growing up surrounded by different languages, places, and ways of life shape your identity, your sense of belonging, and your understanding of home? In this episode, I’m joined by Sam Frearson-Tubito, a third-generation global nomad who has raised four fourth-generation global nomads. Having lived in fifteen countries, Sam knows firsthand what it means to grow up across cultures and to carry a sense of home that cannot be tied to just one place. We explore Sam’s childhood, the experience of moving countries at an early age, and how being exposed to multiple languages and cultures shaped the person she became. We reflect on the gifts and challenges of a globally mobile upbringing, how these early experiences influence our sense of identity and belonging, and what we might wish our parents had understood or done differently along the way. Drawing on her own experiences as both a global nomad and a mother raising globally mobile children, Sam offers a thoughtful perspective on what it means to grow up between worlds. We talk about the things children may struggle to articulate, the impact of constant change, and how parents can better support their children as they navigate questions of identity, connection, and home. Whether you grew up moving between countries, are raising third-culture kids, or are curious about how our childhood experiences shape who we become, this conversation invites you to reflect on your own story and what belonging means to you. 📚 Useful Links & Connect with Sam Book – Beneath a Borrowed Sky: https://mybook.to/BeneathABorrowedSky (https://mybook.to/BeneathABorrowedSky) Website: https://www.wanderingidentity.com (https://www.wanderingidentity.com/) Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/samfrearsontubito (https://open.substack.com/pub/samfrearsontubito) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthafrearsontubito/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/samanthafrearsontubito/) Explore more of Sam’s work on global mobility, identity, and belonging, and join us in rethinking what it means to call a place home.

   S03E06 The language I almost lost: Who Decides Which Language Matters

   What does it really mean to grow up bilingual — and how much do the people and society around you shape the way you see your own languages? In this episode, I talk with my friend Yann, who grew up in France speaking both French and Portuguese. We explore his experience of growing up with two languages, the attitudes he encountered around speaking a language other than French, and how those experiences influenced his relationship with Portuguese over the years. We also talk about what can make a language feel less important at one point in your life, and what can later make you rediscover its value and meaning. A conversation about language, identity, family, belonging, and the sometimes unexpected ways our surroundings shape the languages we carry with us.

   S03E05 The Power of Gentle Language Support

   In this episode of Real Moms Talking, I sit down with Ute, a multilingual language consultant and intercultural communication trainer at Ute‘s International Lounge, to explore what it was like to grow up between languages and cultures. Raised with Italian and German, Ute shares how her childhood shaped not only her own identity but also the way she later raised her three multilingual children and now supports other families on their multilingual journey. Together, we talk about the power of gentle language support—creating space for children to express themselves, respecting their preferences, and nurturing every language without pressure. Ute reflects on the role her parents played in fostering confidence, belonging, and connection through language, and why this approach continues to inspire her work today. Whether you’re raising multilingual children, navigating different cultures, or simply curious about the lifelong impact of language, this conversation offers thoughtful insights and plenty of encouragement.
