Episode 14: How to Cope with Expat guilt with Amy Butters

We chat to Amy Butters, a British expat who feels like the ‘guiltiest expat’ alive. When you become an expat, it’s not unheard of to feel a sense of guilt and grief when leaving loved ones back home.

Over the years, we all have to learn how to accept our new lives living in another country, while learning that life is continuing on without us back home.

So, in this episode, we chat to Amy who just returned back from UK after a whirlwind trip home. Fresh off the plane, Amy explains what it was like visiting friends and family in January of all months. We talk about what life is like back home right now, how her friends and family are dealing with the energy crisis and how she feels being back in Australia.

Listen right to the end because we discuss about why we should all be appreciating each and every day like we’re only living the expat life for a short period of time. Changing our mindset could help us feel free from feeling like we’re stuck between two worlds.
