Visibility Without Losing Your Soul Abroad | Claire Naughton | Ep 095

When does moving abroad stop feeling like something to prove and start feeling like home? For Claire Naughton, that answer is still unfolding. Eight years into life in France,  a path that wound through New Zealand, South America, and a chance meeting in Peru,  she joins Mickelle to talk about building a business, and a self, in a country that isn't quite yours.Claire calls herself a "freestyling marketer," helping international service-business owners stay visible without losing their soul. The conversation moves from marketing into something deeper: the quiet ache of never fully belonging, the impermanence woven through expat life, and why your intuition matters most when it feels furthest away.In this episode:Why comparison hits harder when you're building in a foreign countryWhat "freestyling" marketing really means and why writing still winsUsing AI without flattening your voice or your humanityBelonging, acceptance, and the myth of "arriving" in FranceMoving abroad for love: you marry the person, and the countryBringing your whole self, motherhood included, to the workConnect with Claire — her travel blog The Millennial Abroad, plus Instagram and LinkedIn — all linked at https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-095.House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:houseofperegrine.com/auth/signupJoin a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.
