Welcome to another episode of Speaking to Stacy. This week’s episode was something new and different for the podcast. My guest this week is not a sportsperson. I stepped outside my comfort zone to bring you valuable insights about moving abroad.
My Guest:
Emily Boland holds a Masters in Social Work and is the Director of Clinical Operations at the Truman Group. She has lived abroad in many countries and this has allowed her to experience life as an expat first-hand. She works as a clinician providing teletherapy to expats living in remote areas all over the world where clinical support is difficult to come by.
In this conversation, Emily and I discuss the cultural adjustment cycle. We talk about the rough framework of this cycle and the grief and trauma associated with moving abroad. Emily shared her experiences as an expat, and why different people experience different levels of stress and anxiety when adjusting to their new environment. If you want to understand why you shouldn’t kick jelly tots barefoot in the cold, stick around until the end of the show.
Emily’s experiences as an expat and clinician make her the perfect guest to learn about how to cope with this life-changing decision. She has assisted many expats struggling to adjust to their new homes. I trust you can learn something useful if you are planning a move abroad. You may also have friends and family abroad who need some help to adjust to their new home country.
Key Takeaways for the listeners:
1) why there is no such thing as an abnormal experience when moving abroad,
2) moving abroad is a great exercise in resiliency,
3) how to prepare mentally before you move abroad.
If you enjoyed this week’s episode I urge you to listen to the episode I did with Jade Simon where we discussed our experiences of moving abroad in a little more detail.
