In this episode, I open up about a wave of loneliness that hit me hard last Saturday. It was one of those moments where everything felt heavy, and suddenly, all I could see was what I didn't have anymore. If you’ve been through a similar feeling, especially after returning home from life abroad, you’re not alone. Instead of trying to fix or push the feeling away, I chose to sit with it. To spend time with it. And in doing so, I discovered something surprising: beneath the loneliness, what I was truly missing was fun and playfulness. I share how loneliness has a way of lying to us, making the past seem better than it was, disconnecting us from our vision for the future, and making everything we do have feel invisible. But when we stop resisting and start listening, there’s something to learn. This episode is your gentle reminder that your emotions aren’t your enemies, they’re messengers. And maybe, just maybe, your loneliness isn’t about what you’ve lost… but about what you’re being called to create. 🎧 Tune in if: You’re feeling disconnected or misunderstood since coming home Loneliness has been weighing heavy lately You need a reminder that you’re not behind, just in a moment of pause 🔗 Join Reignite Your Spark (6 weeks group program) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support--reignite-your-spark-group-) 🔗Book Your First 1:1 Coaching Appointment (the first one is free) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/book-a-consult-call-) 🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support-in-your-pocket) 🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/deep-dive-ebook-) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stats.sender.net/forms/eZ6VkE/view) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.

In this episode, I dive deep into the complexities of making friends once you're back in your home country inspired by a Facebook post from a woman who found it difficult to reconnect socially after returning. I explore the common experience of feeling like people back home aren’t as open to new connections, and how this isn't just about your country, it's about human nature, routine, and established circles. But more importantly, I invite you to reflect: How did you show up when you were abroad? Were you curious, open, proactive? Are you showing up the same way now, or are you holding yourself back? I share my personal journey of returning home and realizing that I was limiting myself based on old beliefs about "how people are" in my country. I talk about the power of clarity, knowing the kind of friendships, conversations, and experiences you want to cultivate, and how that clarity helps you attract your people faster. Plus, I share some practical tools: apps, Facebook groups, and ideas to take the initiative and create your own community. Because the truth is, your people are out there, but you have to show up fully to find them. If you're back home and feeling disconnected, this episode is for you. 🔗 Join Reignite Your Spark (6 weeks group program) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support--reignite-your-spark-group-) 🔗Book Your FREE assess your life Call : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/book-a-consult-call-) 🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support-in-your-pocket) 🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/deep-dive-ebook-) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stats.sender.net/forms/eZ6VkE/view) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.

In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal chapter of my life, the time I spent in Canada, torn between what I thought I needed and what I truly wanted. I take you through my journey from Montreal to Winnipeg, where I stayed not out of love for the place, but from a place of scarcity, chasing permanent residency in hopes of creating stability before following my true dream of traveling through Latin America. I share how anxiety built up as I postponed my desires, thinking I had to secure a base first. I reflect on why I didn’t want to return to my home country, especially after a difficult first return. This episode dives into the concept from "10x Is Easier Than 2x", about the trap of making decisions based on what you think you should do, rather than what truly aligns with your vision and values. We explore the difference between freedom from and freedom to, and how crucial it is to ask: 🔹 Is this place expanding me or shrinking me? 🔹 Am I choosing this from alignment or fear? Whether you're navigating a big move, considering a major life change, or feeling torn between comfort and growth, this episode is for you. 🔗 Join Reignite Your Spark (6 weeks group program) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support--reignite-your-spark-group-) 🔗Book Your First 1:1 Coaching Appointment (the first one is free) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/book-a-consult-call-) 🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support-in-your-pocket) 🔗Grab the Ebook Deep Dive : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/deep-dive-ebook-) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stats.sender.net/forms/eZ6VkE/view) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.

Going back to your home country after living abroad is so much more than reverse culture shock, it’s an emotional rollercoaster, an identity shift, and a deep invitation to meet yourself all over again. In this episode, I’m sharing the 6 truths I wish someone had told me before I returned home. These aren’t the usual tips you find online, they're the hard-earned lessons I had to live through. If you’re about to go back, have already returned, or feel completely out of place back home… this one’s for you. Here’s what we’ll dive into: 1️⃣ Why you can’t plan your future based on your past self—and how to start creating a vision that actually excites you. 2️⃣ The misery of expecting your old life to still fit, and how to shift from expectations to intentions. 3️⃣ The power of taking time to integrate who you became abroad—what you want to keep, and what it’s time to release. 4️⃣ How being back home can feel deeply triggering, but also, how it’s the fire that forges your next chapter. 5️⃣ Why being clear on your vision is non-negotiable, and how to move from faith, not fear. 6️⃣ The truth that how you handle your return sets the tone for the next 5 years of your life. No pressure, but also, yes pressure. This episode is a permission slip to stop surviving your return, and start owning it. If you’re feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure about your next step, you are not alone.

Last week was a triggering one for me, and instead of holding space for my emotions, I fell back into that old pattern of trying to fix myself. Sound familiar? In this episode, I share a real and raw reflection on what it means to accept yourself, especially in those messy, uncomfortable moments we often try to push away. When we come back home after living abroad, it's easy to think we should feel fine or have it all figured out. But often, what surfaces is shame, emotional overwhelm, and the urge to suppress what we think we “shouldn’t” feel. We talk about: The trap of self-improvement as a form of self-rejection Why we shame certain parts of ourselves instead of accepting them How trying to “fix” your emotions only deepens the disconnection The link between self-judgment and being triggered by others Why your emotions aren’t who you are, and how to create space for them The reminder that true change doesn’t come from pressure, but from love This is your invitation to slow down, soften, and stop rushing to be okay. You’re not broken. You’re human. And every part of you deserves compassion, especially the ones you’ve been trying to hide. 🔗 Watch the Masterclass Rebirth Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/rebirth-masterclass-) 🔗 Register to my 3 months 1:1 coaching program : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/rebirth-20) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.

Have you ever felt like being back in your home country means you're right back where you started? In this episode, I share a perspective shift that changed everything for me: What if life brought you back not to punish you or undo everything you’ve become, but to offer you a chance to redo the past, with the person you are now? You're not who you used to be. You get to respond differently. You get to choose yourself this time. I also dive into the power of the stories we tell ourselves and how those stories can keep us stuck. Especially when we're blaming our country, our environment, or the people around us. There’s often a secret benefit hidden in the complaints, and once we uncover it, we can finally shift. At the end, I leave you with a powerful tool to start taking action from your future self instead of your past self. It’s time to reclaim your power, even if you're back where you started. 🔗 Watch the Masterclass Rebirth Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/rebirth-masterclass-) 🔗 Join the 20 days challenge Rise Up : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support-in-your-pocket) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stats.sender.net/forms/eZ6VkE/view) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.

Many people returning home after living abroad get stuck in survival mode. They think the "rules" have changed, that back home, life is about numbing emotions, avoiding discomfort, and playing it safe. But the game of life is still the same. The goal isn’t just to avoid losing. It’s to play to win. In this episode, I dive into: 🔹 How abroad, you allowed yourself to feel and experience life fully—but back home, you're told to suppress your emotions. 🔹 The difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose (and how to shift your mindset). 🔹 Why it’s your responsibility to create a life you enjoy, but NOT your responsibility to make others feel better about theirs. 🔹 The importance of being mindful of whose advice you take, if someone’s life doesn’t inspire you, why listen to them? If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you don’t fit in since coming back home, this episode is for you. It’s time to rewrite the rules and start playing the game of life on your own terms. 🔗 Join Reignite Your Spark : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/the-returner-support--reignite-your-spark-group-) 🔗 Join Rebirth 2.0 (3 months 1:1 coaching) : Here (https://stan.store/the_returner_support/p/rebirth-20) 📩 Sign up for the Sunday Self Care Newsletter : Here (https://stats.sender.net/forms/eZ6VkE/view) 📩 Let’s connect on Instagram: @the_returner_support (https://www.instagram.com/the_returner_support) Hosted by Ausha.
