    Back to Japan with a toddler - Our Story

    Moving countries is one thing. Moving countries with a small child while working full-time across time zones is something else entirely. In this first episode, I share our story of returning to Japan as a family: arriving in February 2024, starting work immediately, bridging two months without childcare, and navigating the cultural shock of Japanese nursery life. I talk about: The reality of restarting work on a German contract while living in JapanThe emotional and cultural differences between German daycare and Japanese hoikuenWatching a child learn a new language almost overnightThe quiet social codes of everyday life around Tokyo and YokohamaAnd why building community as a working mother abroad can take longer than expected This episode is an honest starting point about transition, identity, work, motherhood, and rebuilding a sense of belonging between cultures.
