What does it really take to feel at home somewhere new,  long after the passports and paperwork are sorted?In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Yolanda Reshemah, storyteller and host of The Places We Call Home, for a tender, honest conversation about the inner life of moving abroad. Born in the Caribbean, raised in England, shaped by years in France and now settled in Northern California, Yolanda has relocated six times and she speaks to the quiet work no relocation package prepares you for.Together they explore what it means to "feed your soul" in a new place, why living near people like you is never a promise of belonging, and how identity shifts, sometimes without our permission, when we build a life across cultures.In this episode:Why the psychological move matters as much as the legal one"Feed your soul": knowing the sounds, people and rhythms you needBuilding community with intention, not by chanceThe identity you can't pack and choosing who you becomeVulnerability, power and protecting yourself abroadWisdom to carry: change your scales, or find a new pondThe Places We Call Home is part of the House of Peregrine network.
