This is where I write about the parts of immigration most people don't talk about—

the identity shifts, the confidence wobbles, the career invisibility, the loneliness,

and the inner work that actually helps you move forward.

Real stories, practical tools, and honest reflections on building a life abroad without losing yourself.
