    The Difference Between "I Need You" and "Come With Me" | Summer Special

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series,  shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, depth psychotherapist and author Vanessa Bennett, of The Motherhood Myth and the Cheaper Than Therapy podcast, unpacks one of the most quietly corrosive patterns in our relationships: codependence. Her definition is disarmingly simple,  "if you're good, I'm good; if you're not good, I'm not good", a sense of self located entirely outside yourself. Mickelle and Vanessa trace how we learn it, from people-pleasing and passive-aggression to the fear of abandonment underneath, and why the financial system can quietly force it, especially on women. Then comes the turn: interdependence. Not hyper-independence, but two sovereign people relating without needing the other to change in order to feel okay. It's a reframe with real stakes for anyone building a life with a partner,  especially couples navigating the identity upheaval of moving abroad and it rests on the deepest work of all: trusting that, no matter what, you will be okay.

    Student Visas: A New Way to Live In Europe at Any Age! | Summer Special

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series, shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, Move to Europe visa expert Travis Drews -  founder of the Global Citizen Hub - dismantles the biggest myth about moving abroad: that you need a corporate transfer or a backpacker's freedom to do it. The truth is there are far more legal routes than most people realise, open to you at any age and any income level. Mickelle and Travis walk through student visas, job seeker visas, and language-study routes (in France, learning French can be your visa). The standout: while the average US student carries around $40,000 in loans, public universities in Germany are free, even for foreigners, and study programs often help you land a job, opening a pathway from student visa to residency to citizenship. Travis also shares how his Ultimate European Scholarship Database helps people turn "someday" into a real, legal life abroad. Connect with Travis Drews at theglobalcitizenhub.com or on Instagram @theglobalcitizenhub. Produced January 2026; visa rules change, so always confirm current requirements.

    Love Won't Protect Your Finances | Summer Special

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series,  shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, House of Peregrine founder Mickelle Weber shares the heart of her TEDx talk, the story of a single moment in a minivan that changed everything she thought she knew about fairness, family, and financial safety. What began as unexplained anger became a clear-eyed reckoning with invisible labour: the caregiving and household work that holds a family together but never shows up on a paycheck. From a bank telling her she was "better left off the loan" to a napkin sketch of how two partners spend the same 24 hours very differently, Mickelle builds toward a bigger truth — our economy depends on household labour yet refuses to value it. As Nobel laureate Claudia Goldin put it, the world runs on women. It's a call to have the conversations about money and value before crisis, especially for couples building a life abroad. Recorded at TEDxAmsterdamWomen (November 2024). Produced for House of Peregrine,June 2025.

    Going Home Undoes the Healing: Parenting Abroad & Toxic Cycles | Summer Series

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series - shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, parenting coach Maria Bordallo, known to her clients as Mama Maria, explores a truth that catches so many people who've built a life abroad off guard: everything feels fine until you go home. Because your nervous system speaks the native tongue of the family you grew up in, a trip back can undo months of healing in a matter of days. Mickelle and Maria unpack why this happens, and how to move through it with compassion rather than blame. They dig into forgiving your parents without excusing the past, the danger of "false hope," the twelve-step wisdom of not going "to the hardware store for milk," and the practical boundaries that make going home survivable, from lowering expectations to capping how long you stay. It's tender, honest, and quietly freeing. Connect with Maria Bordallo at mamamariacoach.com or on Instagram @mamamariacoach.

    What They Don't Tell You About Money and Living Abroad | Summer Series

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series — shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, financial strategist Alex Ingrim, founder of Liberty Atlantic, unpacks a deceptively simple idea: your "financial backpack" — everything you carry from one country to the next, and how it changes the moment you cross a border. Mickelle and Alex explore how building a life abroad is really like building a custom life, where your country, your passport, and your finances all have to work in concert. They dig into why trying out low-tax-impact countries can be the smartest first step, why you should run towards something rather than away from it, and the uncomfortable truth most people miss: your income is almost always taxable where you land, and your tax bill abroad may shock you. It's practical, aspirational, and exactly the kind of planning that makes a move sustainable. Connect with Alex Ingrim at libertyatlantic.com. Produced May 2025 — tax laws change, so confirm specifics with an advisor.

    Do Third Culture Kids (TCKs) Lack Identity? | Summer Special

    Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series — shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down. In this clip, Third Culture Kid turned therapist and writer Dr. Rachel Cason explores what it means to grow up between worlds — and the quiet, lifelong work of making sense of who we become. Mickelle and Rachel unpack why so many globally shaped people carry a sense of being different wherever they go, and how telling your own story, on your own terms, can turn that ache into something whole. In this episode: Why introducing yourself is never simple when your identity spans multiple cultures The loneliness of "pruning" pieces of yourself so others can understand you How naming everything you hold — precisely — is what lets you truly connect with others Why the answer to "I don't know who I am" is often too much self, not too little Dr. Rachel Cason is a therapist, writer, and author of Incredible Lives and The Courage to Live Them.

In this clip, international divorce lawyer and mediator Magali van Maanen reveals a truth that catches most cross-border couples completely off guard: when you build a life abroad, the rules you assumed would protect you may not apply at all.

In this episode: Why your children may not be able to leave the Netherlands until you and your partner reach an agreement even if neither of you is Dutch How your home country's laws can quietly override a "50/50" split you assumed was fair The clean-break versus spousal-support clash that blindsides cross-border couples Why speaking to a lawyer in both countries before you decide where to file can protect your future Produced April 2025:  laws change, so confirm specifics with a lawyer.

    Is Burnout Real? What it is and How to Heal | Summer Special

    What does burnout actually feel like in your body and why does our culture keep getting it so wrong? This is one of our favourite House of Peregrine episodes, brought to you as part of our Summer Series - shorter clips from the conversations we keep coming back to. Mickelle sits down with somatic empowerment coach Alicia Ingruber for a conversation that is equal parts science and soul. Alicia rebuilt her life after a two-year burnout by learning to work with her body, not against it and what she shares here will reframe everything you thought you knew. They go deep on the nervous system, the difference between burnout and exhaustion, and why sensitive women and high achievers are carrying a weight the world refuses to acknowledge. Mickelle opens up about her own burnout - not from work, but from motherhood - proving this can happen to anyone when we stop listening to what our bodies are telling us. In this episode: The three nervous system states and the moment your body tips into full collapse Why burnout and tiredness are not the same thing, and why that distinction changes everything How sensitive women and high achievers are uniquely at risk and why healing takes far longer than anyone tells you Why burnout isn't just a workplace story: international moves, caregiving, and major life transitions count too Connect with Alicia Ingruber at aliciainspired.com and listen to the full episode at houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-063 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.
