This week, Nanna Hauch aka the Expat Hero, joins Derek and Annie to address an important topic - mental health for foreigners living in Denmark. She discusses the unique mental health challenges that the international community in Denmark is faced with. Nanna brings her expertise as a licensed psychotherapist to the What Are You Doing in Denmark community and offers advice on a wide range of issues faced by international families including Derek and Annie.
Nanna describes how her own experiences living abroad and repatriating influenced her desire to help other expats face mental health struggles. This episode dives deep into the issues faced by couples who move abroad from one partner’s career. Derek explains why he often uses the word “untethered” to describe his experience of living abroad. A listener question evokes the challenges that children face when they’re uprooted to new countries and both Annie and Nanna detail the toll it can take on third culture kids and the parents who love them from their own very personal stories.

Lyndsay Jensen, the founder and editor of The International, is back in the studio with Annie and Derek to talk about the political changes in how foreigners in Denmark are treated and perceived. She recently spoke at Folkemødet on the needs of internationals living in Denmark and their important place in the Danish economy and society at large.
In the discussion, Lyndsay references her eldest son, Connor, who moved to Denmark as a child and has been shaped by multiple cultures throughout his life. It seemed only right to have Connor join the conversation and share his experiences with teenage drinking, learning Danish and transitioning into the education system, and the cultural differences he experienced when inviting friends to his home as a kid.
The conversation was eye-opening to Annie who moved her oldest sons to Denmark and is going through many of these changes in real time.

Annie and Derek are joined this week by Lyndsay Jensen, the founder and editor of The International, an online magazine dedicated to helping foreigners living in Denmark find their way. 
Lyndsay shares her story of moving to Denmark after growing up as a Brit living in South Africa. You could say she’s been an expat her whole life. After a decade of life in South Africa with her Danish husband, she expected a soft landing in Denmark. Instead she found herself in a sink or swim existence.
After facing the challenges of adjusting and settling into Denmark, she realized she was missing some vital resources to help her transition. That's when she decided to become the resource she was looking for and launched The International.
Laugh along as Lyndsay, Annie, and Derek revisit the familiar challenges and mistakes for foreigners moving to Denmark. Learn where you can get help for your own journey through Danish culture and life in Denmark.
