In this week's episode, we explore what it really takes to feel safe when everything is unfamiliar. We talk about why new environments can trigger big emotions, how our brains are wired to stay on high alert during change, and why parents often carry both their own stress and their child’s at the same time. Through real-life expat moments, we break down how structure, predictability, connection, and play help both kids and adults settle into new routines.

In this week's episode, we question the pressure to “start fresh” on January 1st and explore why traditional resolutions often leave parents feeling more overwhelmed, not more motivated. We talk about the emotional crash after the holidays, why the new year isn’t actually a clean slate, and how adding more goals to an already full life, can miss the mark.

In this week's episode, we talk about what it’s like to miss familiar traditions, feel caught off guard by holiday sadness, and trying to recreate something that no longer fits the same way. We unpack why traditions, routines, and activities don’t have to look the same to still feel meaningful and grounding. This episode is about holding onto what matters most, staying curious about what’s new, and giving yourself permission to create holidays that feel good now.
