This episode is a kickoff to a broader exploration of relationships, not just confined to the intimate ones but expanding to how we connect with our new surroundings and cultures. The focus is on why, in the hustle and bustle of settling into a new country, the connection with ourselves is our most important "tool" to navigate the ebbs and flows of life abroad.
Themes explored:
• Importance of self-relationship during life transitions
• Navigating the complexities of identity abroad
• Viewing oneself as an ecosystem for balance
• Reflecting on neglected parts of identity
• Adapting to new cultures while maintaining authenticity
• Prompts for self-reflection and journaling
