200 - A Manual of Me
24:29|200th episode! Eeeep! So good to look back and celebrate getting here! This episode is a revisit of a short workbook I developed a while ago - My Optimal Functioning Manual - because I am feeling the urge towards a check in around noticing what is going on when I feel most functional! It can be complicated for TCKs to explore their own personal preferences after a life of 'rolling with it' and high adaptation demands. Explore this with me today!199 - How do we do... Joy?
28:27|Today I'm pondering how Joy works for Third Culture Kids - why it can be hard to access, why our experience of it can feel complicated and how we can expand our story of Joy. Thanks for joining!198 - My Loft, Shared
22:28|New season here in the UK, but I'm pondering the wonders of the last - specifically summer visits that had me enjoying anew the magic of having a loft - this time to share... Settledness as a TCK still feels new; but the idea that I could offer settledness? Brand new!197 - TCKs and Fear of Inadequacy
24:36|A sense of inadequacy pervades for so many TCKs, and this week I'm reflecting (having had my own bruises triggered) on what pieces of our story make us sensitive to this - and how a sense of "good enough" matters...196 - When doing well feels bad
23:45|Have you ever found yourself having finally achieved a goal or sitting in a chapter of life that you've been longing for... only to feel a sudden slump of mood, even a sense of dread? I have, and in this episode I ponder how it makes sense to me in the context of my TCK story...195 - Powerlessness as a TCK
21:42|Powerlessness is a theme that shows up a lot in TCK stories. In this episode I'm exploring why this is and the difficulty of owning the power we gain as adults.
