    Somatic Healing: Learn What Your Body is Trying to Tell You | A Most Played Episode Clip

    This week we’re talking about somatic healing again.  It resonated with us so much that we’ve brought this one back.  This is a clip from our conversation with Amanda MacRae and is part of our “Most Played” series.Landing in a new country (or moving through any big life transition) can leave you feeling ungrounded - even when everything looks “fine” on paper. In this clip, Mickelle and Amanda explore why change creates change, and how somatic work can help you find safety and clarity from the inside out. Amanda shares a simple, stabilizing approach: rebuild structure in the first 3–6 months (new rhythms, new routines), and practice “embodying your bones” as an internal anchor—quiet, strong, and grounding. From there, the body becomes a resource for navigating hard decisions, including relationship questions, without confusing fear-based resistance for truth. They also unpack why “newness” is both what many expats seek and what can feel most threatening—and how trust in your own body helps you keep walking toward what’s unfolding, even when the answers aren’t comfortable. In this episode: Finding structure after a move: rebuilding daily rhythm in the first monthsEmbodying your bones: grounding from the inside outWhy muscles overwork when we don’t trust internal structureTransitions that shake the system: moving, babies, divorce, identity shiftsFear vs truth: using the body to untangle “should I stay or should I go?”Starting at home: movement, breath, awareness, curiosity, and touchMeeting pain with kindness: listening for what it needs instead of overriding it Listen to the full episode with Amanda MacRae: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-068 House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.

    Your Life Looks Perfect, So Why Does It Feel Wrong? With Jordan Tarver | Ep 79

    Have you ever had a life that looked perfect on paper but felt quietly wrong? Mickelle sits down with Jordan Tarver (bestselling author and change thinker) to explore the moment you realize your “right life” is calling, and what it takes to answer. Jordan shares the intuitive origin story behind You Deserve This Sh!t—a title that arrived with full-body chills and how solo travel became an initiation into deeper self-awareness. Together, they unpack purpose as a compass (not a job title), and why becoming often requires unbecoming first. The conversation then turns practical and honest: moving abroad accelerates transformation, but it also brings grief, especially letting go of the American pace and learning a new rhythm of life. Jordan reflects on building a shared vision with his wife, choosing growth together, and co-creating with change rather than fighting it. In this episode The “perfect life / wrong life” wake-up call How Jordan named You Deserve This Sh!t (and why it works) Travel as initiation + self-awareness in motion Purpose as the why, not the work Change signals: intuition, desire, emotion, surprises The grief (and gift) of slowing down abroad For more details, visit the episode page https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-079 House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.   Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities: houseofperegrine.com/auth/signup Join a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.

    The Word Community Has Lost It’s Meaning, Yet It Is Essential to Living Your Best Life Abroad. We Are Doing It Differently at House of Peregrine. |Ep 78

    “Community” has become the internet’s most overused word—flattened into a marketing perk or something you are part of after you but a product you “join”. Here's the disconnect: access isn’t community, and belonging isn’t something a brand can sell. Real community is relational, embodied and an ancient human technology—reciprocity, contribution & knowing you are part of something bigger than yourself—it's relationships in motion, and a basic human need. This is one of the realities of moving abroad: When you change countries, you don’t just relocate—you lose invisible support systems: cultural defaults, language ease, institutional fluency, business networks, and your personal web of people. You can nail the logistics and still be quietly unraveling; the inner journey (nervous system, identity, relationships, possibility) is not optional. House of Peregrine exists as infrastructure for that fuller experience—protecting the magic of international life while helping people move from isolation to creation. Through media, software, and physical products, HoP becomes a network where Peregrines don’t build in silos, but amplify one another’s gifts and build what’s next—together. In this episode: Why “community” as a marketing funnel dilutes and co-ops the power of human connection The hidden layers of moving abroad—and why logistics alone won’t make you thrive The inner journey: identity, nervous system, relationships, and integration(both in the place and in the shifts you will experience) What HoP is building: a Co-creative network for global players Want in?

    A Look back at 2025: Reflecting on What We've Built at House of Peregrine| Ep 77

    As we close out 2025, Mickelle sits down for an intimate reflection on everything House of Peregrine has built this year not as a highlight reel, but as a love letter to the beautiful, complicated life we're all navigating abroad. This year didn't emerge from strategy. It came from late-night messages asking "does everyone feel this way?" It came from vibe coding sessions where we built software side by side, and from boat rides to lighthouse islands where strangers became friends and sometimes collaborators. Because living abroad is an entire life stage, and we're creating the infrastructure and the rituals to make it lighter. In this episode: Season highlights including conversations on finding purpose after a breakup, somatic wisdom for landing in new places, and managing money across borders Navigating divorce abroad with international lawyer Magali, essential wisdom whether you're struggling or happily partnered Introducing Nina Aziz Justin's new monthly column on reimagining holidays and belonging across cultures Launching Meridian, our astrocartography app born from community co-creation The House of Peregrine Marketplace, curated pieces for this life stage, from Herkimer necklaces that keep loved ones in orbit to keepsakes for the journey What's next in 2026: becoming a community of communities where we collaborate instead of compete Explore the HOP Marketplace, read Nina's piece on holidays abroad, and join us at houseofperegrine.com Episodes mentioned: Pleasure, Power, and Becoming, Abroad with Jessica Stahl of Vanillacooldance Somatic Healing: Learn What Your Body is Trying to Tell You with Amanda MaCRae Divorce Abroad: Real Talk from an International Divorce Lawyer with Magali Personal Finance Strategy for Life Abroad with Sophie SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER HERE House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.   Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities: houseofperegrine.com/auth/signup Join a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.

    Maintain Your Edge Abroad: Elite Performance Coach on the Tradeoffs you Cannot Afford To Make | Ep 76

    Ever feel “lucky” abroad and yet you don’t know how you will keep everything in the air? This episode names that tension and gives you the tools you need to break through to the next level. Mickelle sits down with International Psychologist and Elite Performance coach Karina Lagarrigue.   Karina maps the hidden character traits and hidden costs of the internationally mobile: highly sensitive nervous systems, shifting roles, and the cognitive lift of rebuilding identity across borders. Together they reframe privilege with precision - visas, language, and family dynamics can stack into genuine vulnerability and show how to design safety first without dimming your ambition. Karina explains why therapy often misses mobile lives and how to prevent burnout: pace transitions, regulate your nervous system, and choose clinicians who understand culture, language nuance, and relocation. You will come away with a practical blueprint for thriving abroad as a high performer and learn that you likely fit into an elite group of people who are creating new paradigms of living, success and thriving. In this episode: Sensory processing sensitivity (HSP) and why relocation amplifies it(and how it is more prevalent in the globally mobile) Stacked vulnerabilities turned into strengths Therapy burnout and how to find a modality that can help Visa-linked power dynamics; emotional and financial safety that may be messing with your peace Nervous system regulation as you continue to Level Up Couple prep and maintenance that  you shouldn’t ignore  Listen to Karina's first episode https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-002 Karina Lagarriguee https://expatworldpsychologist.com/  Subscribe and share the episode with a fellow Peregrine, and design your next chapter safely.

    To Stay or To Go: An International Divorce Lawyer On What You Need to Know Before You Decide

    The divorce rate among couples abroad is significantly higher than averae so even if you are happily coupled it is wise to be familiar with the complexities and pitfalls of international divorce and the documents and agreements that are essential before you leave your home country. Magali van Maanen, an esteemed divorce lawyer and mediator with nearly two decades of experience at De Boorder Advocaten in Amsterdam gives us an overview and some sage advice about divorcing abroad.. What struck me most was Magali's profound perspective on divorce as a "threshold to a whole new life" rather than simply an ending, a powerful reframe. The conversation is about how living abroad amplifies both personal growth and relationship challenges. As Magali explains, when you're building a life in a new country, certain personality traits emerge that you never knew existed.  This episode is a a must listen in your life abroad In this clip of the full episode:  • Why consulting a divorce lawyer before making final decisions can really save a lot of time and money for international couples  • The reality that children within the marriage abroad can cause unknown limitations or complexity that you didn’t foresee. For example: children cannot leave the Netherlands without both parents' agreement so parents might have to remain in the NL because the other spouse wants to stay. • Spousal support is vastly different from one country to another–check before you act • Considering the importance of securing your own visa rather than relying solely on a partner's  • Magali's transformative question: "What do you want your life to look like in three years?"  • Why international relocations often become make-or-break moments for relationships For Magali's complete wisdom and practical guidance, listen to the full episode at https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-059. Connect with Magali at De Boorder Advocaten through their website, and remember, seeking advice doesn't mean you're getting divorced; it means you're making informed decisions about your future.

    Personal Finance Strategy for Life Abroad | Ep 75

    In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Sophie Duong, a fully qualified European Financial Adviser, London-born daughter of Vietnamese refugees, and Barcelona-based risk whisperer on how to decode how to build a globally flexible life without sacrificing your future. Sophie manages €40M+ for 120 clients and brings a calm, human approach to cross-border money: simple language, rigorous planning, and zero shame. They unpack the realities of international finances and why, where you live and where your money “lives” both matter and how to design plans that honor your dreams and your spreadsheets. Sophie explains the difference between an accountant and an adviser, when to call each, and how she acts as “triage” to assemble the right global team. Entrepreneurs get special love too: you can grow the business and your future nest egg - now and later. Sophie also demystifies phases of wealth (accumulation, crossover/protection), flags common traps (PFICs for Americans abroad, UK inheritance domicile, beneficiary-based succession in Spain/France/Italy), and makes the case for stress-testing plans as rules and visas change. In this episode: Designing a globally flexible life that’s compliant and tax-smart Adviser vs. accountant: who does what, when Avoiding cross-border traps (PFICs, UK domicile, succession rules) Planning moves before you move; optimizing where assets are held Entrepreneurs: balancing growth today with future independence Estate planning across jurisdictions—so money goes where you intend It’s now - and later.
