    Intuition Is a Muscle | Ep 91

    In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Jewel Mondros of Jewel Mondros, Energetic Consultant, intuitive healer, and frequency guide to explore what happens when you can feel you’re changing, but can’t quite name it yet. Jewel shares her own peregrine path, years living across Europe, learning tarot while feeling untethered abroad, and ultimately channeling her work (and her oracle deck) during a liminal season before moving to Amsterdam. Together they make the “unseen” feel grounded: intuition as a skill, energy as information, and transformation as the steady return to self. They also unpack how tarot and channeling can function like a soulful mirror, less about prediction, more about perspective, pattern recognition, and being deeply witnessed. From microdosing as a gentle commitment to new neural pathways, to retreats where location, beauty, and group dynamics become part of the medicine, this conversation is both expansive and practical. Jewel closes with a collective message: fear and vulnerability aren’t obstacles - they’re the doorway. In this episode: Tarot as a structured “mirror” for clarity and self-trust What channeling adds: felt truth, not logic Microdosing as subtle, consistent re-patterning Retreats as energetic containers: space, safety, and group work How homes speak: leaks, clutter, kitchens + emotional patterns A collective pull: step through fear; vulnerability sets you free For more about Jewel and the links mentioned and more on this episode: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-091 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.

    Money Is Math (But It’s Emotional) | Ep 90

    In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Ana Herrero-Wallace of Ada Invest, former US‑licensed equities trader, investor, and author of Still Thinking? Act. - to talk about building wealth with calm confidence, especially when your life (and residency) spans multiple countries. Ana shares her Peregrine path from Madrid to the US, Budapest, London, and eventually Amsterdam and how moving to a partner’s home country can require a total rebuild: language, network, even career. The conversation opens up the deeper layer too: money is math, but it’s also emotional and cultural, shaped by the stories we inherit. Together, they cut through intimidation and perfectionism, naming the real cost of waiting: not investing is still a decision. With practical clarity; fees, diversification, emergency funds, and long-term systems, this episode makes financial independence feel elegant, learnable, and deeply personal. In this episode: Why moving countries can create “analysis paralysis” around investing The money wound: how early experiences shape financial behavior Why women often make strong investors and what holds them back The rule of 72 + compound interest: time is your biggest lever How to start simply: low fees, diversification, consistency Why women need personal financial autonomy, not outsourcing For all links, the full transcription, and more about Ana, visit: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-090.

    Long Distance Grandparenting. Tips, Tricks and Wisdom for Staying connected when your Children Live Abroad. | Ep 89

    In this episode of the House of Peregrine Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most tender realities of international life: loving your people well when they live an ocean away. Host Mickelle sits down with Helen Ellis, M.A., New Zealand–based researcher, author, and anthropologist, and founder of DistanceFamilies.com—a longtime practitioner of distance parenting and grandparenting with family spread across the U.S., England, and Scotland. Helen shares why she wrote her Distance Families book series after discovering just how little guidance exists, despite how common this life has become. Together, they explore the emotional undercurrent (especially guilt), the invisible grief that can sit alongside pride, and the practical rituals that help relationships thrive across time zones, without pretending it’s easy. In this episode: The grounding question that changes everything: “How is distance familying for you?” Why empathy across generations is the real bridge Adult children as the “communication traffic officer” (book it, then build rhythm) Small visit-frictions that quietly matter: gratitude, thoughtfulness, respect for the home Rituals that hold connection: letters, shared books, mini-golf, food traditions Planning well for later life when family won’t be down the road For Helen’s books, resources, and all links mentioned, visit: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-089.

    It’s Now (And Later): Money Planning for Peregrines | A Most-Played Episode Clip

    Money gets emotional fast, especially when you’re living across borders. In this Best Played Moment, Mickelle and Sophie Duong unpack why globally mobile people often delay financial planning (not from laziness, but survival mode), and how that delay quietly reduces freedom later. Sophie, a financial advisor with Devere, reframes money as something that should support your life now and your life later, without the guilt, shame, or sacrifice narrative so many expats carry. They explore the mindset shift from “what should I do?” to “what do I want?” and why goal-setting matters more than age. Sophie introduces her process: start with your financial independence number, zoom out long-term, then work backward into short-term steps—so you can keep building the lifestyle you love while protecting future choices. The conversation closes with a simple, empowering framework: accumulation vs protection phases, defined by milestones and dependents, not by your passport stamps. In this episode: Why money feels personal (and why we avoid it) The “cost of inaction” after years abroad “Money moves where you tell it to move” How to define your financial independence number Why you can build a dream life and still plan ahead Accumulation vs protection (it’s milestones, not age) Explore more at https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-075.

    Community as Human Technology (Kemo Camara, Omek) | Ep 88

    Kemo Camara, founder and CEO of Omek, joins Mickelle Weber for a rich conversation on what community really is and what it can become. Kemo reframes community as human technology: the original infrastructure that helps us survive, belong, and evolve, long before it was ever a marketing term. From growing up in Guinea in a multigenerational compound of 30–50 people, he shares how identity is formed through responsibility, accountability, and being mirrored by others; “me, myself, and us.” Kemo then traces his Peregrine path from Guinea to New York, where corporate life sharpened his strategic skills, but community building remained his instinct. A pivotal move to Germany (sparked by his wife’s career opportunity) became an awakening, highlighting the difference between immigrant and expat mindsets, and how comfort can quietly limit growth. That chapter led to a clearer purpose: supporting bicultural professionals who live between worlds. At the heart of Omek is a powerful reframe: bicultural life isn’t a disadvantage, it’s a privilege and a superpower. Kemo introduces the “toolbox” metaphor: each culture adds tools that expand empathy, creativity, and cultural intelligence. Omek brings bicultural people into intentional community, helps them name their strengths, and equips them to lead; personally, professionally, and as contributors to the societies they call home. In this episode: Community as “human technology,” not a brand buzzword How a collective upbringing shapes identity, values, and purpose Immigrant vs expat vs entrepreneur: the mindset shifts of moving abroad Why staying in an expat bubble can limit growth and belonging Bicultural “toolboxes” as a source of creativity, empathy, and leadership How Omek supports bicultural talent and partners with companies Find Kemo Camara and Omek at myomek.com.

    Consent Isn’t a Checkbox - It’s a Conversation | A Most-Played Episode Clip

    In this most-played clip, Mickelle Weber sits down with Jessica Stahl of Vanillacooldance (VanillaCool Dance) for an intimate, disarming conversation about what “consent” actually looks like when it’s lived, not just referenced. Through Jessica’s experiences in tantra and kink-adjacent spaces, consent becomes something elegant and dynamic: a real-time practice of communication, self-honesty, and the courage to name what you want as it changes. Together, they widen the lens beyond sex into the full choreography of modern life abroad - identity, power, and the quiet ways we edit ourselves to stay safe or accepted. Jessica shares how her work (and her persona, Vanillacool Dance) is part of her own becoming: dissolving shame through openness, and helping others feel less alone in the things they’ve been taught not to say out loud. In this episode Consent as a living conversation: boundaries, desire, and the simple check-in, “Are you still where you want to be?” Shame → voice → becoming: how openness disarms taboo and returns us to a more sovereign, honest self Listen to the full episode: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-069 Reach Jessica Stahl / Vanillacooldance on Instagram: @vanillacooldance.

    Ethical Non-Monogamy. What it is and what it isn’t. | Ep 87

    “Opening a shaky relationship won’t fix it - it magnifies it. Ethical takes more, not less.”In this episode of the House of Peregrine Podcast, Mickelle is joined by Victoria Onken of VictoriaOnken.com, a relationship coach based in Amsterdam, to explore what ethical non‑monogamy really is (and isn’t) when you’re living abroad. Victoria shares why “I want an open relationship” is never the full story; it’s an invitation into a deeper conversation about desires, fears, and the agreements that keep love safe. Together, they unpack how international life amplifies everything; identity shifts, loneliness, pressure, and the need for real communication. Victoria reframes “open relationship” as openness itself: the courage to stay curious about your partner’s inner world, to name what you need, and to build a relationship designed for the season you’re actually in. They also discuss jealousy as a signal, not a stop sign, often pointing to unmet needs like quality time, reassurance, or autonomy. And they explore why doing this well can create more intimacy, not less: stronger boundaries, clearer consent, and a more intentional bond. In this episode Ethical non‑monogamy = consent + clear agreements (not cheating) Why opening a shaky relationship magnifies issues rather than fixing them The “safety protocol”: role‑playing scenarios + specific agreements Jealousy as data: uncover the need beneath the reaction “Open” as a relational skill: sustainable love, vitality, and honesty Navigating kids, community, and visibility with stability and care Connect with Victoria: victoriaonken.com and Instagram @v.onken.  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.

    How to Build a Business That Moves With You (with Bobby Casey) | Ep 86

    Freedom isn’t just geography, it’s structure. In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Bobby Casey, founder of BusinessAnywhere.io, to talk about what it really takes to build a life (and a company) that can move with you. Having lived in 10 countries and helped founders navigate the administrative maze of cross-border living, Bobby brings a grounded, unsentimental clarity to the realities behind the “digital nomad” dream. Together, they unpack why international entrepreneurship isn’t just about where you want to be, it’s about how money actually reaches you, what systems you’re tied to, and what invisible risks live inside “I’ll figure it out later.” Bobby explains the critical difference between physical residency and tax residency, why compliance is rarely perfectly black-and-white, and how one small oversight can quietly become an expensive detour. In this episode: Why location independence requires truly location-independent income How “how you get paid” determines company setup, banking, and processing The difference between physical residency and tax residency (and why it matters) Why crowdsourcing legal/tax advice online can backfire fast The reality of “gray area” decision-making across multiple jurisdictions Why planning 6–12 months ahead saves major cost and complexity For more visit: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-086 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.
