I’m a Certified Life Coach, Expat Mentor, a mum of two and the founder of Empowered To Thrive. My purpose is to support Expat Women, who feel like they have lost themselves, break free from feeling homesick and find a sense of belonging so that they can thrive abroad.
Moving to a new country to pursue a dream, a new career or moving for love can seem like a dream come true… at the beginning it can be a very exciting journey, however once reality hits, the excitement starts to fade and all of a sudden you feel like you are in an emotional roller coaster.
Starting a new life in a foreign country, outside of your comfort zone and without your support network can be very challenging specially when you are flooded with a lot of feelings and emotions, such as excitement, worry, sadness, guilt, grief and resentment, which is an overwhelming experience of homesickness, which I struggled with for a long time.
The emotions and challenges you experience through a transition of moving and living abroad are completely normal, yet often unspoken. It can be very overwhelming, challenging and isolating.
Through my life experience living in a foreign country for the past 16 years and my personal transformation abroad, it has become my mission and my passion to support Expat Women cope with chance, break free from feeling lost and lonely and help them discover their true self, so that they can feel at home in any environment and start living and loving their life abroad.
It is your unique journey and I want you to know that your thoughts, feelings and emotions you may be experiencing with this big change are completely normal and that you are not alone. You don’t have to go through this journey alone, I’m here to support you on your journey to well-being abroad.
