When you’re constantly relocating, traditional career paths often go out the window. In this episode of Unpacked, we explore the idea of portfolio and portable careers the often non-linear ways diplomatic partners build meaning and identity through work, reinvention, and creative adaptation.

We ask:

- Are we constantly reinventing, or simply expressing our purpose in new forms?

- What does it look like to shift between employment, freelancing, consulting?

We also get honest about:

-The emotional side of reinvention

-The hidden power in flexibility (and the hidden cost)

-The realities of self-employment vs. formal employment abroad

-The pressure to “make it count” when you do get an opportunity

And that sticky question… which partner is lucky?

Whether you're in the middle of a pivot or just wondering what’s next, this episode is for you.
