One of the hardest parts of diplomatic life is the distance it creates - not just from places, but from people. As you move from posting to posting, the friendships and family ties that once felt effortless suddenly require intention, creativity, and emotional resilience.

In this episode, we explore:

- Why communication patterns shift when you move abroad and how to adapt with compassion

- How to nurture the friendships that mean the most—without pressure or guilt

- What to do when you can’t make every wedding, birthday, or family event

This is all about giving yourself grace and compassion and just knowing that you're doing the best you possibly can.
