Moving to another country is difficult. Doing it while pregnant, learning a new language, rebuilding your life, and becoming a parent at the same time changes everything.
In this episode of Home, Again!, Shelby Norment shares her journey from the United States to Chile after falling in love, starting a family, and choosing a very different future for her son.
Shelby reflects on identity, isolation, motherhood, language barriers, culture shock, dependence, guilt, resilience, and the quiet emotional realities of starting over abroad. She speaks openly about leaving family behind, navigating pregnancy in a foreign healthcare system, losing independence, and slowly rebuilding belonging one conversation at a time.
This conversation explores what happens when relocation strips life back to the basics and forces you to grow in ways you never expected.
Topics include motherhood abroad, immigration, language learning, identity shifts, cultural adaptation, loneliness, resilience, family, and rebuilding life in Chile.
