📰🤰 What happens when a successful Wall Street Journal journalist gives up her fast-paced NYC life to move to Italy and Germany—becomes a mother abroad, and suddenly finds herself lost, isolated… and hilariously overwhelmed?

Meet Rosamaria Mancini—introvert, perfectionist, hypochondriac, and now author of the witty new memoir “SOS Podcasts.” In this raw, funny, and deeply relatable expat story, she shares how life at the Vatican, German culture shocks, and motherhood abroad pushed her to the edge—and how podcasts became her lifeline in a disconnected world.

💥 In this episode of Expat Experts, you’ll discover: ✔️ How she transitioned from journalism in NYC to life inside the Vatican walls ✔️ Why German and Italian culture clashes drove her (lovingly) crazy ✔️ The real struggle of being a new mom while adapting to a foreign culture ✔️ How over-parenting, perfectionism, and podcasting all collide in her story ✔️ Her #1 life-saving tip for expats (especially moms!)
