Transition, Faith and Mental Illness - 4S1F86

08/29/18 • 42 min

Feeling intrigued about life overseas can be a catalyst for some people when deciding to pick up everything in their familiar environment to move on for a life abroad.

This fact, combined with the need to find something meaningful in life, can point someone in a direction that previously wouldn’t have been a topic of consideration.

This episode I sit down for chat with Holly Kooi. Holly is an American happily living overseas with her husband in Vienna, Austria.

Tune in to learn how this wonderful woman from Atlanta ended up in Vienna and, upon arrival, soon was forced to deal with and overcome personal transitional issues that nearly broke her.

In the end, Holly, keeping with her faith, may have been blessed with the exact timing that allowed her and her family to expand their horizons abroad.

Living Abroad and Noticing The Differences - 4S1F87

Get ready to join us for a ride as we listen to the journey of an expat / immigrant from Melbourne, Australia who is now living in Vienna, Austria.

Hear how Carly Hulls, upon being offered a dream job overseas, as well as taking a chance after “meeting an Austrian boy”, decided to pack up all her stuff in one backpack to embark on a new life chapter.

Carly shares with us her story of living abroad as a foreign national who is very aware of not only her own overseas status, but also the status of others like her who are seeking a life in a new home nation. Carly is very aware of the negative issues certain foreign nationals are facing in her host nation and she isn’t shy about speaking up.

All at the same time, she points out how important it is to not have expectations of how life abroad should be as compared to life in one’s home nation.

At this point, you have to agree that her story sounds both brave and romantic. After listening to Carly’s story you will agree that the Kardashians can’t match her swagger!
