    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.

    Most Replayed Moment: Buy The Plant and Start Living Here Now.

    Landing in a new country can lock you into “go mode.” In this practical conversation, Mickelle and guest Erin Frobenius reframe survival energy: it’s useful at the start but it shouldn’t become your lifestyle. Erin offers simple shifts that feel luxurious in their ease: budget your energy (some days two tasks equal ten), step outside daily, breathe, and choose presence over perfection. And act as if you’re staying - buy the plant. They also explore community as self-care. Whether you thrive in groups or one-to-one, design your “team,” put the phone down at drop-off, say hello, host a tiny gathering. Embrace impermanence and let connection grow, even if the timeline’s uncertain. In this episode: Spotting survival mode and stepping out Energy budgeting: two tasks can equal ten Daily resets: walks, breath, micro-meditations Community as self-care: build your “team” Connect as if you’re staying: buy the plant Preventing the crash with early mindset shifts Listen to the full episode with Erin Frobenius: https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-040 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 Burnout Breakthrough: Navigating Life's Initiations with Lara Ferreira | Ep 74

    Prepare for a profound journey of transformation as Mickelle Weber, host of the House of Peregrine podcast, welcomes Lara Ferreira, the visionary coach and founder of Mindful Experiences. Lara unveils her remarkable odyssey from the demanding corporate world in Brazil to a pivotal burnout in the Netherlands, a crisis that wasn't an end, but a powerful initiation into purpose and holistic well-being. This illuminating conversation challenges conventional narratives, revealing how life's deepest challenges can become the very gateways to shedding old expectations and embracing a life of true alignment and joy. Lara illuminates the subtle yet crucial early warning signs of burnout, from dwindling energy to disrupted sleep, urging us to listen to our bodies before they force us to shut down. Her personal transformation, supported by therapy, coaching, and spiritual practices, reveals a powerful blend of analytical planning and deep inner connection. She emphasizes that true change emerges when logic harmonizes with intuition, fostering a sense of safety even amidst the unknown. A key highlight is Lara’s expertise in microdosing psilocybin, which she describes as a gentle, background support that quiets mental noise, enhances clarity, and builds neuroplasticity for lasting shifts. She also delves into the collective yearning for meaningful work that energizes rather than drains, a theme prevalent among her clients. The discussion extends to the unique challenges and profound identity shifts experienced by those living abroad, navigating new cultures while seeking authentic connections and support. In this episode: Burnout as an invitation for necessary change. Recognizing early warning signs of burnout. Blending analytical planning with inner connection for growth. Microdosing as a subtle yet powerful tool for clarity and neuroplasticity. The collective desire for meaningful, energizing work. Identity shifts and challenges of living abroad.
