S2 E4 - Feeling Lost After Moving Abroad?
Feeling Lost After Moving Abroad?
This episode is for you if:
You feel like a different version of yourself since moving abroad. You’re questioning who you are without your old roles or routines and wondering where you truly belong now. Maybe you’re trying to hold on to your roots while adapting to a new culture, but you’ve felt lost, disconnected or not quite yourself in the process. You might be blending languages, values or identities and not sure how it all fits together. You want to feel more grounded and confident in who you’re becoming — and you’re curious how others navigate these identity shifts after relocating.
What we cover:
🔹 What is an identity shift? Why moving abroad triggers deep changes in how you see yourself — from your career to your sense of belonging.
🔹 The psychology behind it How major life transitions challenge your self-concept, and what liminality (that “in-between” feeling) really means.
🔹 Culture, identity & belonging How to honour your roots while building a new life. Why cultural continuity supports resilience — and how blending traditions can help you feel whole.
🔹 Practical tips Ways to ground yourself, stay connected to your values, and navigate identity shifts with compassion and clarity.
Questions to ask yourself this week:
What parts of your identity have changed since moving abroad?
What would it look like to accept the shift instead of resist it?
Where do you feel most like “you” in your new life?
