Feeling lonely abroad?

In this powerful episode of the Empowered Expat Woman Show, I sit down with Phil McAuliffe, a passionate advocate for de-stigmatizing loneliness and fostering authentic connections. Phil is a white, cis-gendered gay man who has experienced loneliness firsthand, and he’s on a mission to create spaces where others can engage openly on this often-taboo topic.

Feeling lonely abroad is something many expats face. Phil shares his personal journey of coming to terms with loneliness and the realization that society often struggles to support individuals who admit to feeling lonely.

Join us as Phil candidly discusses his own experiences, how he sought help, and the invaluable lessons he learned about himself in the process.

We shed light on the fact that loneliness is a completely normal human experience and that it shouldn’t be treated as a taboo subject. Instead, we explore why loneliness can be more prevalent among those living abroad and the various coping strategies that can be employed to combat it.

If you’re an expat, a global nomad, or anyone who has experienced feeling lonely abroad at any point in life, this episode is for you. Tune in to gain valuable insights, practical advice, and a sense of community as we explore the universal human experience of loneliness and how we can nurture genuine connections in our lives.

Remember, you’re not alone in feeling lonely, and together, we can create a world where vulnerability is embraced, and true connection is celebrated. Don’t miss this episode with Phil McAuliffe on the Empowered Expat Woman Podcast!

Happy Mother’s Day AND Happy Self-Mothering Day!

On the occasion of Mothers’s Day being celebrated today in many parts of the world, I want to focus on the concept of SELF-MOTHERING: relevant to all women – mothers and daughters alike – it’s about treating ourselves in the way a wise and loving mother would.

Sometimes this will mean nurturing or soothing ourselves, and other times we’ll need to encourage and lovingly push ourselves to do what’s in our best interest in the long run.

When we do a good job at self-mothering, we won’t only strengthen our inner guidance system and create a deep sense of trust in ourselves; we’ll also be able to be a better mother to our own children or care-taker to our loved ones.

In this episode I’ll share 6 ways in which I’ve been mothering myself, and which you can apply and practice right away!
