Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to raise your child in another country?
In today’s episode, I bring my old high school friend, Connie Ma, onto the podcast to chat about the unique experience of raising a family abroad, particularly in Taiwan. Connie shares her journey from the United States to Taiwan, highlighting the challenges and joys of integrating into Taiwanese society. We discuss language immersion, educational systems, parental support, and cultural differences in parenting practices. Connie also shares her experiences with postpartum confinement in Taiwan, providing insights into the benefits and drawbacks of this tradition. Throughout the episode, you’ll gain a valuable perspective on the complexities of expat parenthood and the enriching experiences it offers.
Have you wondered what it’d be like to move your family abroad? Or are you someone who’s already made the bold decision to? If so, I’d love to hear your experience! Share in the comments of AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post, linked here.
