We move abroad for different reasons: to work or study, make a better life for the kids, to start a business, retirement or just to kick back and enjoy life in the sun. We pack our lives up with our hopes and dreams and head off for a new life en France.
As far as family and friends back home are concerned you’re living the dream. But the reality often is, that you’re struggling big time.
We often tell ourselves to get up and get on with it. But sometimes it seems as if we’re either living in the past or worrying about the future.
Many women suffer in silence thinking everyone else has got their act together. For many it’s much easier to seek solace in Monsieur Vin Rouge and Madame Chardonnay than to admit you’re slowly losing the plot.
As an expat woman, I’ve been there. And as a counsellor I know the way out.
My aim of this website is to help you find your way.
Trust me, you’re not alone.
