From New York to Seoul to Amsterdam: Parenting TCKs Across Cultures with Angela Vitiello

In this episode, I’m joined by Angela Vitiello, MBA, MSEd — founder of the Expat Parenting Collective, alumna of INSEAD, member of the European Mentoring & Coaching Council, and affiliate of the Institute of Coaching at McLean/Harvard Medical School.Angela has lived in 4 countries across 3 continents, traveled to nearly 40, and has been navigating life as an expat parent since 2018. Her work centers on experiential learning, leadership development, transitions, and intercultural communication.We dive into Angela’s journey moving from New York to South Korea to Amsterdam, and how these transitions shaped her identity as both a professional and a mother. She opens up about raising her two third-culture kids (TCKs), who are growing up with exposure to three rich cultural backgrounds: hers, her husband’s, and the local culture of where they live.Angela shares the importance of giving children the space to ask questions, to honor and celebrate multiple cultures through rituals, holidays, and daily practices, and to embrace the richness of belonging everywhere and nowhere at once. Her message is simple yet profound: approach life with curiosity.✨ A must-listen for expats, TCK parents, and anyone curious about identity, belonging, and raising children across cultures.Connect with Angela Vitiello🌍 Website: www.expatparentingcollective.com📸 Instagram (Work): @expatparentingcollective👩‍💼 LinkedIn: Angela Vitiello, MBA, MSEd📸 Instagram (Personal): @itsangelavitiello
