The Journey Continues: When Everything Piled Up After We Migrated | Ep. 28

from Soft Landing · host Brett Corlett

Almost a year after moving to New Zealand, we thought we were finally finding our feet. Instead, reality hit — hard. In this episode, I continue our immigration journey from Episode 6 and share what was really happening behind the scenes during our first year as migrants in New Zealand. From serious family illness back home, to the guilt and helplessness of being far away, job uncertainty, financial pressure, and the stress of having to move again — everything seemed to pile up at once. This isn't a polished success story. It's an honest conversation about: the emotional toll of immigrating to a new country the guilt of leaving family behind when they need you most work stress and job uncertainty after migrating trying to stay strong for your partner and kids while you're struggling yourself If you're in your first year or two after immigrating, or you're thinking about moving to New Zealand, this episode is for you.
