Life abroad can look great on paper and still leave you feeling a bit lost, a bit lonely, and not quite like yourself. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
 
I’m Franziska Luxhøj, an Austrian coach with more than 20 years abroad, most of them in Denmark. I’ve been through it myself: a move, a job search full of rejections, losing my confidence and, for a while, the sense of who I was. Today I help people abroad feel like themselves again.
 
Every episode takes one step on that way back, through three stages:
  • Regulate: calm your nervous system
  • Reconnect: come back to what actually matters to you
  • Rebuild: create a life abroad that feels like yours

You get the research behind it, a hands-on practice to try straight away, and jokes that hit a little too close to home.

Topics include:

  • Identity and confidence after a move
  • Loneliness and belonging
  • People-pleasing
  • Being the accompanying partner
  • Career setbacks abroad
  • Why trying harder is often not the answer
For anyone who moved abroad for work or love, whether you call yourself an expat, an international or just “the one who moved”, and who looks like they have it together but isn’t always sure they do.
