From Divorce To Kuwait: A Midlife Move That Rebuilt One Woman’s Life//185
Episode 185
Monday, 4 May, 2026
A sleepless night. A divorce after 32 years. A job listing that makes zero sense on paper. Then Kuwait shows up on the screen and Danielle Hebert takes the leap. What starts as a desperate need for space turns into two years of solo living abroad that reshapes her confidence, her faith, and the way she sees the world.We talk through the practical realities of moving to a Muslim-majority country as a midlife woman: what Danielle asked in her interview about culture and dress, what surprised her when she landed, and how she learned to navigate daily life, safety, and boundaries. She shares the warmth she receives from strangers, neighbors, and coworkers in an international school community filled with people from across the Middle East, Asia, and beyond. The conversation also holds space for the complicated parts, including moments that feel unsettling and the inequality she witnesses among migrant workers.Most of all, Danielle explains why this wasn’t “running away.” It was healing travel with intention: rebuilding self-esteem through meaningful work, creating deeper connections with family back home, and finding spiritual rhythm in an unexpected place. If you’re searching for solo travel inspiration, a midlife reset, or hope after divorce, this story will challenge your assumptions and widen your imagination.
