This end-of-year episode of The Returner Support Podcast is an invitation to slow down, reflect honestly, and stop shaming yourself for not being “where you should be.”

If you’re back in your home country after time abroad, or even just visiting, and you feel heavy, lost, misunderstood, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.

We explore why December and January are not meant for big decisions or radical life plans, but for gentleness, truth, and deep reflection. We reframe winter as a necessary season, a pause that prepares the next chapter, rather than a sign that something is wrong.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How emotions like frustration, anger, and sadness point directly to unfulfilled desires

• How fear silently blocks action

• How to stop letting your past shape your present

• The power of acting from your future self instead of reacting from old wounds

• Real-life examples around friendships, values, family relationships...

• A concrete reflection practice using your photos and memories from the past year

This episode is about reconnecting to what you truly desire, naming the fears that keep you stuck, and choosing, little by little, to move toward alignment instead of familiarity.

A powerful listen to close the year with clarity, honesty, and self-compassion.
