The Bittersweet Life

Life doesn't have a script. At least, it doesn't have to. Hosts Katy Sewall and Tiffany Parks explore the challenges and joys of moving abroad and moving home. Whether you’re living overseas, or not — or not yet — join us weekly for unadulterated conversation. Get to know Rome. Laugh at our embarrassments and insights. Most of all, imagine the possibilities for your own life (and meet some famous authors along the way).
Such a warm listen!

I’m new to the podcast, which was recommended by Katy Lee from the podcast The Europeans, and I’ve really enjoyed the hosts’ candor. It’s such a comforting listen. Their honest discussions about living abroad and their experiences are a pleasure to hear. I’m so glad I found it!
Consistently good

I’ve been a listener from the beginning and am amazed at how each episode continues to be interesting. I often refer to things I’ve heard either from the banter between the hosts or from their guests. I count on this podcast to keep me entertained during my walks and hope they keep making it for a long time.
New listener but glad I’ve found you!

I’m so excited to have found this podcast. Initially I started listening as I was looking to find a podcast on ideas/what to do/what not to do in becoming an expat in Italy. I’ve listened to like 20 episodes in the last few days and love not only hearing the good, the bad, but the in between as well. You ladies have done a great job making it feel like it isn’t just informative but also entertaining. I like that you keep it fairly short but in that short amount of time a lot of info comes through. I even appreciate hearing not just about experiences in Italy but other cities/countries. And I love when your humor comes through!
Living the Life of Dreams!

I’ve always been fascinated with exploring other places and cultures outside the US. I didn’t get the chance to travel until after raising kids and sending them off to see the world. I finally took off to Europe in my 60’s, and with the knowledge, experience & tips I’ve gained from listening to this podcast, I am traveling like I always dreamed I would. The Bittersweet Life podcast, with Tiffany in Rome, and Katy in Seattle, explores all the bittersweet of travel, life abroad, LIFE experiences/changes/growth, with guests, like: expats, adventurists, writers & contributing listeners worldwide - sharing the bitter & the sweet of realizing dreams & living our lives with purpose and passion 🍫 Tiffany & Katy, who’ve been friends since 11 years old, are well-versed interviewers and great storytellers, with deep familiarity of their subjects and each other, as a listener I resonate easily and feel as if they are speaking directly to my longings. There is so much content to dig into from their archives of 10 years, plus they respond to listeners questions, that provide many examples of how to approach your wildest dreams. I recommend that if you’re tempted to taste the Bittersweet Life podcast, take a bite and if you want more, start from the beginning with Katy and Tiffany together in Rome. It’s a beautiful trip, the bitter and the sweet! 🇮🇪
