TSP #32 - Blending in, without losing yourself
From The Stripped Podcast · 00:26:13
Show by Joelle Smaniotto
Two months after moving back to Paris from Hong Kong, I'm living two realities at once. One part of me wants to blend in, adapt, respect where I am. The other carries 18 years abroad and doesn't want to lose track of who I've become. In this episode I share what that looks like right now: losing my full-time help overnight, four weeks of grocery shopping at the wrong supermarket, my son missing Hong Kong, the tiny handbag that taught me about my schedule... and why I like myself more in English. And underneath it all, the one thing that keeps me steady: I never question my value as a person. For expats, repats, and anyone rebuilding a life somewhere new… where are you in it right now?
