Listen on: iTunes │Spotify │Stitcher│YouTube

Did you know that 12% of all expat couples do not live in the same country? Others spend periods of time separated, while again others have one spouse working long hours away from home or traveling. What these families have in common is that the stay-at-home spouse needs to ‘hold the fort’ and parent on their own.

Today’s Podcast guest knows about this all too well and shares her comforting, uplifting and practical advice to thrive in this situation with us!

Meet Rhoda

Rhoda Bangerter is the author of Holding The Fort Abroad and a certified coach for solo parenting moms in long distance marriages

She was raised in France, with a Welsh dad, a Syrian Armenian mum and is married to a Swiss man. Her husband has traveled abroad for work throughout almost their whole marriage. During those years, Rhoda has been solo-parenting and experimenting various ways to hold the fort while creating a joint life in a long distance relationship.

Along the way, she realized the huge number of moms around the world who experience the same challenges but with no resources to guide them through this journey.
