This Expat Life - S0 / E40

#39 Following your partner abroad as an independent woman with Nathalie van Haaren

What if you're a strong, independent woman with your own career, and your partner of 1.5 year asks you to follow him abroad? Nathalie van Haaren knows all about it. Even though she's been internationally minded from birth, she did have to adapt moving to Senegal now as the spouse of an expat.

In this beautiful conversation, Nathalie shares openly and vulnerably what it meant for her identity and how she dealt with - and overcame! - the challenges. 

This episode is a must for anyone who moved abroad to be with their partner - and for those who asked their partner to join them. You'll recognise you're not alone going through some of the struggles and you'll get helpful tips & perspectives.
