The Truth about Being an Expat Mum, with Lynette Moore
Big life changes are both exciting and challenging.
For example, relocating to another country is a big deal. Having children is also a big deal.
Doing them both, at the same time, can be daunting (putting it mildly!).
As exciting as these big shifts are our in lives, they can also be scary!
The one thing that can get us through it, is a solid support system. Whether that’s your family or your childhood friends.
But what happens when you’re an expat, and those people are not around for you when you need them? You rely on strangers. You have to find and build your own community.
In this episode of the Yoga, Bellies & Babies Podcast, I talk to Lynette Moore, owner of Baby on Board Spain. As an expat, and then an expat mum, she shares her own experience of being pregnant and having a baby in a foreign country.
Lynette is a British mum, and has a son who was born in Madrid, Spain. She has lived in Spain for 10 years and is still currently in Madrid. Listen in to learn about Lynette’s experiences, what it was like to be pregnant in a foreign country, her postpartum challenges and how she overcame them.
As an expat mum myself, I loved sharing our experiences of what it’s like to be starting out our journey’s into motherhood in foreign countries. We talk about what it’s like to make friends in your 30s and how and when to actually build your tribe to support when you become a new mum.
This whole conversation took me back and reminded me of how resilient and amazing us mums can be!
