Feeling confident and at home, wherever you are.
A HAPPY EXPAT
The hardest part about being an Expat Spouse IS NOT understanding your new culture, learning a language, or even finding a job, although these are not easy tasks.
The hardest part is our inner life - losing our identity, lacking direction, rebuilding our support network and adapting to staggering change which comes with any expat move - all the while feeling ungrateful because we know how fortunate we are.

A HAPPY EXPAT - A quick guide
Get insight into my 3 mindset pillars for happy expat living, Attitude, Expectation and Identity, and a list of the top 10 realities as life as an expat spouse.
Coach, Speaker, Author
As an expat I’ve had highs and lows, but one thing is sure: Life was never boring.
The friendships I’ve forged and the memories I’ve made are truly beyond my wildest dreams. Having said that, there’ve been times where it all felt too hard. I’ve learned that if you give it time, it will pass and life will open up to you again. Sometimes just a small change of perspective is all it takes.
I now dedicate my coaching and writing to helping expat spouses find their footing in this crazy new world. Because really, once you get the hang of it, you too can become
A Happy Expat.
