 Part 1: Summie Yeung on Rooted and Routed

What does it really mean to grow up between cultures—and how do those experiences shape the way we live, work, and find our place in the world?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Summie Yeung, a Life and Transition Coach, immigrant, and self-identified Third Culture Kid (TCK), to explore her journey from Hong Kong to the UK. At just 15, Summie moved across continents, a decision that would redefine her sense of identity, belonging, and purpose.

Key Highlights:

• The emotional and cultural impact of migrating alone at age 15
• Struggling with identity in-between cultures: “not quite British, not quite Hong Konger”
• How boarding school shaped resilience and her view of cultural community
• Finding purpose through coaching NEET youth (Not in Employment, Education or Training)
• The transformative power of the Cultural Orientations Framework in coaching

This audio-only release captures raw reflections and deeply personal insights that couldn’t be recreated. Join us as Summie shares how her life across cultures turned into a mission to support others on their own transitional paths.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive deeper into multicultural coaching, building inclusive support systems, raising a TCK, dealing with integration beyond language and emotional resilience.
