We’ve all been there, scrolling through Facebook groups for returnees and feeling our chest tighten with every post: “It’s impossible to make friends here.” “I feel so stuck.” “Life will never feel exciting again.”

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening beneath those reactions. It’s not just about the negativity of those posts, it’s about the quick stories our mind creates when we read them. I share why we make these instant associations (like “If they can’t find love, I won’t either”) and why these stories often have nothing to do with us.

We talk about the missing context behind people’s experiences abroad and back home, and why understanding that matters. Then, we go deeper, because this isn’t really about social media at all. It’s about the relationship you have with your home country. And just like in love, when that relationship changes, everything else changes too.

If you’re ready to shift how you see your return and stop letting other people’s stories shape your own, this episode will help you see the bigger picture, and reclaim your power to write a different one.
