T.E.R.I. Talks: American Expats of Color, "Breaking Free to Live Free"

Teri Dawn Marshall

T.E.R.I. Talks podcast is for spiritual-mature American Expats of Color who understand that the decision to live abroad is not just a lifestyle choice — it is an extension of their spiritual awakening. It's for those who are done waiting for a country to reflect their humanity back to them. And for those who are ready to build a life that belongs to them, on their own highest terms. Most expat conversations start with logistics. This one starts with you. Through solo commentaries, guest interviews, and personal stories from American Expats of Color living proof that breaking free is possible, host Teri Dawn Marshall brings a multi-dimensional perspective that is equal parts emotional, spiritual, and practical — unpacking the deeper currents beneath every expat decision, every fear, and every breakthrough. Because the emotional weight of American racism, bias, and prejudice doesn't stay behind when you board the plane. The inner work is the foundation. And this podcast exists to help you build it. This is T.E.R.I. Talks — Together Evolving Beyond Racist Identities. This is where your journey to Breaking Free to Live Free an evolution of consciousness begins. Hosted by Teri Dawn Marshall — Certified NLP Trainer, Leadership Coach, Core Transformation Trainer, Ericksonian Hypnotherapist, and Spiritual Development Teacher — with over four decades of experience helping people move through the kind of change that actually lasts. New episodes every first and second Wednesdays of the month. 📩 Join our mailing list at teritalkspodcast.com 🌍 Sign-up for Free Master Class — Making the Expat Decision — https://makingexpatdecisions.teritalks.com
