What exactly is a ‘brand evolution'? Just like a personal evolution, a brand also requires the creator to dig deep and ask the hard questions like: Am I showing up in a way that feels good and is helpful to my audience? Does my design style represent the vibe and vision I want to portray?  Is my brand still showcasing my values?  In this episode, Sundae Bean uncovers how a brand's evolution directly correlates to one's willingness to adapt and change to their own world, and to the one around them.  “There was enough discomfort and clarity to push me to change.”  Sundae takes listeners on her personal brand evolution, providing insights about how to get the most out of the process. She expounds on what true growth might feel like within your body and how to work with it. She also discusses how to collaborate with outside agencies to help you through this journey.  Sundae Schneider-Bean is an intercultural strategist, a transformation facilitator, and a solution-oriented coach. She supports individuals and organizations as they traverse through (and flourish beyond!) life quakes and other major shifts – no matter where they are. For almost a decade, her location-independent business has served individuals and world-class organizations from over 60 countries across six continents.

She leads several online groups with thousands of members and hosts the popular weekly podcast IN TRANSIT with Sundae Bean.

I have lived in multiple countries across three continents while raising two cross-cultural children (sometimes as a solo-parent) and navigating a bi-national marriage.Professionally, I am celebrating nine years as an entrepreneur in June 2022, proud to have a 100% location-independent business. I have had the honor to serve women from around the globe through their toughest challenges. I have been by the side of women who have given up their jobs to support their family, lost husbands, divorced, came out, moved away, and more. This has broken down my naivete to the struggles women face when “doing life.”Leaning on my skills as a facilitator, qualitative communication researcher, and accredited coach, I see so much collective wisdom emerge as I support others through their hard-earned experiences. I am committed to anti-racism work and understand that our lives and experiences are distinctly shaped by our identities and the systems that either welcome, deny, ignore, or challenge them.Through all of this, I am convinced that together we are stronger.Connect with Sundae Website: Sundae Bean LLCPodcast: IN TRANSIT with Sundae Bean Apple & SpotifyCommunity: Wisdom FusionSupport the show! Want to learn more about us?

Season 2, Episode 24. For many, one of the toughest things about living abroad is being far away from friends and family. It can feel like you're missing out on all the important moments, big and small - and sometimes, that's true. But sometimes, it's possible to move heaven and earth to be there, in person, for a big event. When that does happen, the moment becomes that much more important because of how far out of your way you went to be there. Showing up in those moments is, as Sundae explains in her podcast Expat Happy Hour, a grand gesture.

Today’s volunteer will sound familiar to many: expat, wife and mother who is desperate to find her way back to her career and most importantly her purpose.

Self-care isn't like Godiva Chocolate - something to be indulged in from time to time. You likely put everyone in your family and community, including your pets, before your own self care and health. If we don’t start scheduling time for our own needs and pleasure our martyrdom continues and everyone loses: Our health, our partners, our children and our own self-image.

Today’s Mindful Expat Guest is Sundae Schneider-Bean! Sundae is an intercultural strategist and solution-oriented coach, and – as she says –she’s on a mission to help expats make the most of their lives abroad! Sundae is originally from the United States, from the state of North Dakota. Even before meeting her Swiss husband and launching on a series of international moves with him, Sundae had a thirst for international adventure. In her early 20s, she traveled extensively throughout south-east Asia, where she met her husband in Vietnam – which then led her to move to Switzerland. After a number of years together there, they then moved to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where they stayed until in 2016 when the political situation and lack of security in the region made it no longer safe to remain – at which point they relocated to South Africa, where they now live with their 2 children. Sundae has her masters in Intercultural Communications and is a Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. Her experiences of living and working across cultures, being in an intercultural marriage, and raising bicultural TCK children makes her no stranger to the challenges – and opportunities – of expat life. As an intercultural strategies and coach, she works to help other expats navigate these challenges and learn to thrive in their lives abroad and make the most of their experiences. What you’ll hear in this episode: • Debunking some common myths about the cultural adjustment process and how believing these myths can be detrimental to our wellbeing and adjustment as we adapt to a new culture. • How there is no one “right” way to move through the the process of cultural adjustment and some of the factors (personal and contextual) that can impact what this process looks like. • How our expectations can shape our experience — for example, by making us either more or less patient with ourselves as we move through the cultural adaptation process. • How “culture shock” isn’t necessarily a bad thing — and how we can use it as an opportunity to increase our own self-awareness. • The importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion (rather than being harsh and critical toward ourselves) as we adjust to a new culture. Resources mentioned in this episode: • We mentioned the U-Curve and W-Curve Models of cultural adjustment. To learn more about these models, you can check out this blog post or listen back to Episode 5. • Sundae mentioned sleep expert Christine Hanson. To learn more about her and her work, you can check out her website, www.sleeplikeaboss.com. • Sundae mentioned the website Culture Connector, where you can take a free assessment to learn more about your own cultural preferences as well as the cultural preferences of the country in which you’re living.

How to design an action plan “When it feels almost too far to reach, but you want it so bad, that is when you know that you hit it” How to build resilience and the support system you need “Reinvention is not comfortable; you need to really want it to go through with it.” Sundae’s book recommendation: Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live (https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Your-Own-North-Star/dp/0812932188) by Martha Beck More from Sundae Check out her new podcast: Expat Happy Hour with Sundae Bean (http://sundaebean.com/category/podcast/) You can find our last interview with Sunday here:   TN28 Dealing with High Risk Security Risks and Uncertainty (https://tandemnomads.com/tn28-dealing-with-high-security-risks-and-uncertainty-sundae-schneider-bean-ouagadougou/) Find her online:  Web:  http://sundaebean.com/ (http://sundaebean.com/) Email: sundae@sundaebean.com Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/SundaeSchneiderBeanLLC (https://www.facebook.com/SundaeSchneiderBeanLLC)
