Rootless but Grounded

In today’s world, people move for countless reasons — tourism, studies, pleasure, love, work… there are as many reasons as there are people. You might call yourself a migrant, an expat, or maybe an international student.

Have you ever stopped to think about which one you are?

Whatever the case, living abroad is one of the most enriching experiences you can have. You learn so much — about the world, about others, and about yourself. It’s often exciting, full of discovery and new opportunities.

But let’s be honest: it’s not always easy.

Sometimes it’s lonely. Sometimes the bureaucracy makes you want to scream. Sometimes you miss your family and friends so much it hurts. Maybe you’re struggling with a new language, with finding work you actually enjoy, or with making meaningful friendships. And maybe, on top of it all, you find yourself wondering: What am I even doing here?

Perhaps you moved for love but now you’re not sure it was the right decision.
Maybe “home” feels too far away and the guilt of not being there weighs on you.
Or maybe you’re just feeling… lost.

That’s why I created this Expat Women Workshop — a 4-week program designed for women living abroad who want more than just a “self-help group” where everyone shares their struggles and we politely nod in sympathy.

This is about truly understanding what you’re going through as an expat or migrant. It’s about finding clarity on where you are and where you’re going. Yes, it’s about support and sharing feelings — but also about learning tools, gaining perspective, and moving forward with more confidence and intention.

Because your life abroad is more than a chapter to “survive” — it’s a chapter to shape into something meaningful.

“Rootless but Grounded” is a space created especially for expat women to explore the emotional and practical challenges of international life—with honesty, empathy, and a sense of direction.
