You’ve seen the dreamy travel vlogs, viral reels, expat TikToks full of blissful morning markets, aesthetic cafes, rooftop sunsets. They’re beautiful. But they’re not the whole story.In this episode, I’m sharing what most people don’t talk about when it comes to living abroad (and coming back):The quiet grief you didn’t expectThe emotional labor of explaining yourself—again and againThe subtle, persistent ache of not being truly knownThe kind of strength you don’t give yourself enough credit forIf you’ve ever felt like you’re floating between places, identities, or chapters, this one’s for you.I also share why I created Third Spaces—a virtual support circle for women navigating life abroad, re-entry, or the in-between. It’s not a course. It’s not therapy. It’s just a soft space to land.Join the waitlist or book a free intro chat: Stay connected: @expatanna | annaluzader.com | @homishpodcast
