56. Belonging After Time Abroad: How to Feel at Home in Your Own Country
Description
Returning home after living abroad can be a joyful yet disorienting experience. At first, everything feels familiar, but soon, you might notice a sense of disconnection, loneliness, or the feeling that you no longer truly belong.
In today’s episode of The Returner Support Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of belonging. Inspired by the book Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home, I explore why we often feel like outsiders in our own country, and how this is tied to showing up fully as ourselves.
We talk about:
Why “fitting in” is not the same as truly belonging
How past experiences abroad and at home shape your sense of self
The difference between false belonging and authentic connection
How to reclaim parts of yourself that have been hidden or suppressed
Practical reflection questions to help you explore where and with whom you truly belong
Whether you’re struggling with reverse culture shock, feeling unneeded, or questioning your next steps, this episode will help you understand your emotions and start feeling at home in yourself and your country again.
🎧 Tune in, reflect, and take a step closer to belonging, exactly as you are.
