Born and raised between France, Guadeloupe and Martinique, Jess found a passion for language and decided that teaching others how to love languages would be part of her professional journey. Jess is her mum's only daughter and her dad's oldest daughter. Due to working conditions in the French West Indies and her desire to live her passion, she decided to teach in China- an unexpected career detour and far from what she originally planned career wise. We hope that Jess' time in China helps her grow in all the ways that she desires. Thank you for taking some time to listen to this episode and for leaving your constructive feedback.

Vivian Chiona - Psychologist & Counsellor, B.Sc, M.Sc a bi-cultural, multilingual expat with family all over the world, a certified psychologist, and the founder and director of Expat Nest (a multilingual and exclusively online counselling service for internationals). Vivian was born in Greece and has been living in Holland for 12 years. The golden thread through her work is great appreciation of diversity and devotion to the international community. How did your professional journey start? Right from the start I had a very clear vision for Expat Nest. At the time I was just 28, and working full time as a counsellor at an international school in The Hague (a job I loved). I had a BIG dream though: to help more people transform their lives and move from a dark place into a brighter, better future. Specifically, I wanted to offer this kind of high-quality mental health support to the global expat community. You see, as an expat myself, I’m familiar with both the blessings and challenges of a mobile life and it didn’t take me long to notice the significant need for counselling services devoted to expatriates and internationals. And so, in 2013, Expat Nest was born! By using online technology to enable “counselling without borders”, my team and I have been able to support expats, no matter where they are today or where they’ll be tomorrow, and irrespective of their origin or nationality. What were your business roadblocks and how did you overcome them?Firstly, it was a matter of changing mindset and even the way I introduced myself. I also had some personal challenges, which I had to overcome and make put different priorities in my business. In the different twists and turns that Expat Nest has taken since its early days, my passion has been singular, and at the core of the business’s success. Every step I’ve taken since then – from working on Expat Nest in my spare time to taking the risk of going full time, expanding our network of global counsellors, revamping our (humble) early website, and so on – has been driven by the questions: How can my team and I support people, no matter where they are? Who is your business role model and why? I don’t have one particular role model per se, preferring instead to draw inspiration from many people on different levels. For instance, I appreciate the balance some business owners have between their business and their personal life, while others I admire for being visionaries; for always being able to think seven steps ahead of everyone else. Also, because of the novelty of Expat Nest, I don’t have many role models in my specific field. However, an organization that I really admire, and share the same values with, is Families in Global Transition (FIGT), because it includes people from all aspects of the international life, together focusing on a shared vision.What book did you read in 2018 which made a difference to your life and why?Through I first read it in 2016, Ariana Huffington’s Thrive continues to inspire me. Here’s my review on this: http://www.expatnest.com/10-things-i-learned-from-a-book-that-touched-my-life/How can we best connect with you?By emailinginfo@expatnest.com or through our website, www.expatnest.com, and of course on social media: Facebook page, www.facebook.com/expatnest123Support the show (https://costawomen.com/help/contact)

Today’s Mindful Expat Guest is Louise Wiles! Louise is an expat coach who works with international assignees, expat partners, and international organizations to help expats and their families not only survive but thrive in their lives abroad! Louise is originally from the UK, but she has spent much of the last 18 years living in Spain and Portugal. Three years ago, she repatriated back to England with her husband and 2 daughters. When Louise first moved abroad for her husband’s career, she left behind a corporate career of her own, so she is intimately familiar with the challenges that dual career couples face when deciding to move abroad and navigating their expat experience. Along with her (former) business partner, Evelyn Simpson, both trained coaches, she began a business called Thriving Abroad, to help expat partners and expat assignees navigate these challenges and create a life they love. Louise also has her own podcast, also called Thriving Abroad, where she interviews guests and covers topics related to helping expats face personal and professional challenges in their lives abroad, and I highly encourage you to check it out. What you’ll hear in this episode: • About Louise's experience of navigating multiple overseas moves and her professional journey of creating her coaching business, supporting expats and expat partners. • The importance of our expectations and really thinking through our decision to move abroad ahead of time. • Some tips for people already living abroad who feel like they're in survival mode to help make the shift from just surviving to actually thriving in their lives overseas!  Resources mentioned in this episode: • Early in our discussion, Louise mentions a book (although not by name) having to do with building a portable business. The book she is referring to is called A Career In Your Suitcase, by Jo Parfitt and Colleen Reichrath-Smith. • Louise mentions some of the work of social psychologist Barbara Frederickson on positivity. To learn more about some of her work, you can check out her website, book (Positivity: Groundbreaking Research Reveals How to Embrace the Hidden Strength of Positive Emotions, Overcome Negativity, and Thrive), or this TED Talk. • Louise also mentioned the book The Mobile Life, by Diane Lemieux and Anne Parker. • Louise also mentions some research on the importance of morning routines. To learn more about some of this research, check out this article from More about Louise and how to follow up with her: To learn more about Louise and her coaching business, Thriving Abroad, you can visit her website at www.thrivingabroad.com.

Louise Wiles took part in the very first 10-day Business Book Proposal Challenge. As the deadline approached to submit the completed proposal for a chance to win a publishing deal, she hesitated. "I haven't sent it in. Am I going to send it in? Oh, I'm not sure." In the end, encouraged by her husband, she submitted it. Which is lucky, as it turned out to be one of the winners.  In this week's episode, Louise describes how she and her business partner and coauthor Evelyn Simpson set up Thriving Abroad without ever having met in person, how she overcame the resistance and fear of putting the book out into the world at every stage, from initial proposal to just three weeks before publication, and what she'd do differently next time round. If you're struggling with self-doubt and resistance as you write your book, this is for you.   

I’ve moved location 7 times and house 12 times in the last 17 years. I know this is not a winner in terms of number and frequency of moves amongst the international community, but it does mean that change has been a pretty big constant in my families lives. In fact, having now been back […]

Evelyn is Scottish and was an expat for 26 years, living in the US (twice), Hong Kong, Zurich, Shanghai and Brussels. Her early expat years were driven by her love for adventure and her career as an investment banker.  By the time she had her first daughter, she was ready to put banking aside and try something new. With all these multiple moves and a young family to take care of she struggled to find the right thing for her. So she volunteered, studied and even became a yoga teacher. But, as much as she enjoyed those things, none of them was really what she wanted to do. Eventually, Evelyn realized that she consistently enjoyed helping other expats in their transition to expat life. So she trained as a coach in 2010 and started her own coaching practice. In 2013 she joined forces with another coach, Louise Wiles, and set up the company Thriving Abroad (http://www.thrivingabroad.com) . Glimpse on Evelyn's insights in this episode: How she managed to build a healthy financial management within her couple. What were the secrets of their mutual understanding and support. Why it is so important to expresse our needs even if our family comes first. How it is for her to be back "home" after 26 years of expatriation. Evelyn online ressource: Google!
