Ep. 16 - Bridging the Gap that Physical Distance Creates in FIFO Life
In this insightful episode, I delve into the often unspoken challenges of FIFO life, where physical distance becomes a significant barrier not just in terms of miles, but in the essential elements of daily living and emotional connection.
The absence of physical touch, the lack of hands-on help around the home, and the diminished emotional awareness that comes from not sharing the same space can strain relationships and complicate family dynamics.
I shine a light on the importance of recognizing these factors and the profound impact they have on our well-being and relationships and I offer some tips to help bridge these gaps in our FIFO life.
