This Week in America - What No One Tells You About Living Between Two Countries

Send us Fan MailWhen you move countries as an adult, you expect the obvious changes — new places, new systems, new routines.What you don’t always expect is how that decision echoes through your children’s lives years later.In this episode of This Week in America, I reflect on the quiet side of living overseas as a parent.From joking about bringing an inflatable kangaroo to my daughter’s dance competition, to hearing her say she sometimes misses Australia, these small moments reveal something deeper about belonging, identity, and growing up between two homes.I also talk about the rhythms of life we’ve built here in Nashville — late-night drives back from dance competitions, early school mornings, and the practical ways families support each other along the way, including Nikki working shifts at Bridgestone Arena to help fund Georgia’s dancing.Moving overseas gives you new perspectives and opportunities.But it also carries quiet costs that only reveal themselves over time.And one of those costs is realising that the journey you chose as an adult becomes part of the story your children inherit.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/fromdownundertodownsouth🌏 Website https://fromdownundertodownsouth.com📺 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@FromDownUndertoDownSouth📘 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068568677919🐦 X https://x.com/aussiemika74📩 Business enquiries [email protected] for listening.
