The Journey Continues: But all you want is a break Ep.29

from Soft Landing · host Brett Corlett

The Journey Continues – Life After Moving to New Zealand Almost a year after moving to New Zealand, I thought we were finally finding our feet. Instead, everything seemed to hit at once. In this episode, I continue our immigration story and share what was really happening behind the scenes during our first year in New Zealand, the part that doesn't often get talked about. From serious family illness back home, to the guilt of being far away when people you love need you most, to work pressure, financial stress, and the emotional toll of having to keep going when you're already exhausted. This isn't a polished success story. It's an honest conversation about: what happens when the excitement wears off the emotional weight immigrants carry quietly feeling responsible for your family when you're struggling yourself and what it's like when the journey has to continue… even when all you want to do is stop If you're in your first year or two after immigrating, or you're considering making the move — this episode is for you. You're not weak for finding this hard. You're not broken for feeling overwhelmed. And you're not alone in carrying more than you expected. Sometimes the journey doesn't fall apart, it just asks more of you than you thought you had.
