Expat Parenting Collective, Vienna (2026)

Imagine a life where you have a better relationship with your partner, where you feel more comfortable as a parent, and where exhaustion and loneliness as replaced by a sense of belonging and support.

01/09/2026

That feeling has a name.

It’s not burnout.
It’s not ingratitude.
And it’s not “just an adjustment phase” when you’ve been here for years.

It’s what happens when you’ve poured everything into making life work in a new country... the language, the school system, the friendships that take years to build, the partnership that quietly shifted under the weight of it all...

And somewhere in the middle of holding it all together, you stopped being able to find yourself.

Your kids are becoming people shaped by a culture you’re still learning.
Your partner thinks everything is fine because the logistics are running.
And you smile and say “we love it here” while something inside you whispers... do I?

Here’s what I know after 8 years of living this and coaching 100+ parents through it...

There are 3 conversations happening inside your family right now that no one prepared you for.

The one with your partner that keeps circling without landing.
The one with your child that catches you off guard and cracks something open.
And the one with yourself... where you wonder who you even are outside of holding everything together.

I recorded a training on exactly this... “The 3 Conversations That Are Quietly Breaking Your Expat Family... and How to Repair Them.”

Comment “3 CONVOS” and I’ll send you the recording.

This is the conversation no one is having. And it’s the one that changes everything.

If you read that and felt like I was describing something a little too specific to you...I see you.

I have coached hundreds of women living exactly this. And here is what I know for certain: you are not the problem. You have simply never been shown how to access everything you already carry.

That is the work I do. It starts with one conversation.

If this landed, comment “ME” below or send me a message. I would love to hear your story.

And if a friend comes to mind while you’re reading this... tag her. She might need to see this today.

You built a partnership that survived a move to another country, a new language for at least one of you, two demanding careers, and small children who need everything, right now, always.

That is not nothing.

And still... some weeks you and your partner are more like co-managers of a household than two people who chose each other. You hand off the school pickup, the bedtime, the logistics. You have not had an actual conversation, the real kind, since before the move got complicated.

That is not your marriage falling apart. That is what happens when two people are building something this big, in real time, without the village either of you grew up with.

Connection doesn’t ask for hours you don’t have. It asks for the ten minutes you do have, claimed on purpose, not left to whatever is left over at the end of the day.

Ten minutes of all of you.
..not half-listening while you mentally run through
the list or not physically in the room but somewhere
else entirely.

All of you. That is what they remember.

Summer has this beautiful way of slowing things
down and also piling everything on at once. No school schedule, longer days, less structure, more noise, more togetherness...more of everything.
..and somewhere in the middle of all of it, you
forget to fill yourself back up.

So you show up, every single day, because that
is who you are.
..and showing up tired, stretched thin, and running
on whatever is left at the end of the day...that is not the same as being there.

After years of working with
parents navigating this, all I can say is:

Presence is not a discipline; it is a result.

The result of a parent who is also, quietly and
without guilt, taking care of themselves.

So this summer...do one thing for you, every day.

Not optional. Not the last thing on the list. First.

Save this if you needed the reminder.

like yours,

Summer is beautiful and relentless.

Kids home, bags packed, airports, in-laws, different expectations about how the day should go…

…and through all of it, you and your partner are
doing what you always do: holding it together.

8 years building a multicultural family across borders and working with many others has taught me that the strongest currency you have in your partnership is not patience or compromise; it is kindness.

It’s not the grand gesture kind.

More so the quiet, ordinary, wednesday afternoon kind.

A hand on the shoulder when the other one is fumbling through a conversation in their second language.

A “I’ve got the kids, go rest” without being asked.

A moment of softness when stress could have easily turned into something sharp.

That kindness ripples.

Your children feel it.
Your family feels it.
Your partnership feels it long after summer ends.

Save this one and share it with the partner who is in the trenches with you.

My husband and I were sitting at the kitchen table after the kids went to bed.

Both of us on our phones. Both of us exhausted. Both of us... somewhere else entirely.

And I remember looking up and thinking: when did we stop asking each other how we are actually doing?

Not “did you book the appointment” or “whose turn is it to do pickup tomorrow.” How are you actually doing... in this country, in this life, in this version of yourself that neither of us fully planned for?

Here is something I see again and again in the families I work with.

We pour so much energy into making sure our children feel seen in their expat experience. We read the books on third culture kids. We ask them about their friendships, their feelings, their sense of belonging. We are paying attention.

And our partners... we assume they are fine.

We assume that because they are capable, because they chose this too, because they are not the ones having a meltdown at the dinner table, they must be okay.

But your partner has also lost their village. They have also navigated offices and meetings and daily life in a culture that is not fully theirs. They have also had moments of wondering who they are becoming here, whether this version of their life matches the one they imagined.

They are just quieter about it. Or they have learned to be.

Making someone feel seen, heard, and understood is the loudest way to love them.

Not the flowers. Not the weekend away. Not the grand gesture.

The moment you put down your phone, look across the table, and ask: “How are you really doing in all of this?”

That question can change everything.

Tonight, if you can, ask it.

Here’s to building a life that finally feels like yours,
