Coaching for expatriate women
Are you lucky enough to be an expatriate?
And yet, you find it difficult to adapt to your new expat life?
Even if you are happy about this opportunity, you are struggling to find a new balance in your host country.
And it is pretty normal as becoming an expatriate is a massive transition which shakes up the life you used to know and requires you to create a new one and it is not obvious!
Are you looking for support in this transition?
Expatriation is a roller coaster ride!
Expatriation is an extraordinary adventure… but also a real emotional roller coaster!
Living abroad means discovering a new world. It also means coming face to face with yourself.
Between wonder, discovery, new encounters, and travel, expatriation is a unique experience.
But it can also bring unexpected challenges: loss of bearings, distance from loved ones, feelings of loneliness, the need to completely reinvent yourself.
Often, existential questions arise:
- Who am I, far from my home environment?
- What are my true values, my needs, my aspirations?
- How can I find a balance between my old life and this new reality?
Because moving far away does not make what we carry within us disappear: our emotional baggage, our doubts, our wounds… everything travels with us.
And often, it is difficult to talk about it with those around us.
Our loved ones, even if they are well-meaning, do not always understand why adaptation is so complex. They encourage us to take full advantage of this opportunity.
So we remain silent. We feel misunderstood, isolated… when in fact, all we need is to be listened to, supported, and understood.
Being an expatriate is a massive transition.
It is a roller coaster with exhilarating highs and depressing lows.
It takes time and support to regain balance.
If you are looking to regain balance in your new life
and define what YOU want to realise during your expatriation,
the “Reinvent Yourself” journey is made for you!
Reinvent yourself and live your expatriation to the fullest

What if it's time to reinvent yourself?
What you will experience during this “Reinvent Yourself” journey
This three-month program includes six one-hour sessions and numerous tools to support you at every stage of your expatriation.
1. Find Your Rhythm Again
Being an expat means changing everything: country, culture, home, habits…
It also means disrupting your life rhythm. From a well-organized daily routine, you move to a world where everything needs to be reinvented. Without good organization, it’s easy to feel lost or scattered. In this first step, we’ll work together to recreate balance, organize your time and energy, so you feel in control and fulfilled.
2. Rediscover Who You Are
Expatriation confronts you with questions you may have never asked yourself before: Who am I? What am I doing?
If you’re not working, these questions can be even more challenging. But they’re also a wonderful opportunity to rediscover yourself. During this session, we’ll go back to the essentials: your personality, your values, your needs, and your desires. The goal is to reconnect with yourself so you can move forward with greater clarity.
3. Rediscover Your Worth
As an expat woman, you can sometimes feel useless or without value.
This session is about rediscovering your talents, your zone of brilliance, and boosting your self-confidence. You are full of resources, and you’ll be able to tap into them fully to move forward with confidence.
4. Explore Your Desires
What do you want to experience or explore during your time abroad?
Expat life offers an incredible playground to try new ways of living, working, and connecting. Together, we’ll identify your deepest desires so you can bring them to life—freely and without limitations.
5. Free Yourself from Expectations
Expat life can be fertile ground for societal expectations to weigh on you: perfect mother, perfect woman, perfect wife… not to mention the guilt of not working or not generating income.
We’ll explore these pressures and free you from these external expectations so you can finally experience your expatriation the way you want to—without being overwhelmed by guilt.
6. Define Your Action Plan
Expat life is your new playground for trying new things, both personally and professionally.
This final session is all about taking action: we’ll work together to create a concrete action plan so you can live this expatriation on your own terms, with clear and realistic steps.

My expatriation challenges and opportunities
I was an expatriate for 4 years and although expatriation has been the most exciting years of my life, it was also the toughest ones.
Here are some of the challenges I had to face;
- Defining my new role as “trailing spouse”
- Not losing my identity and self-confidence not having a job
- Redefine some projets for myself
- Not feeling guilty enjoying this new life while my husband was working
- Manage my time and energy so I didn’t feel useless or all over the place
It took me a long time to create a new balance for myself and my family.
But being an expatriate was also the perfect time to rediscover myself, my needs, my values and to reinvent my future!
My expatriation allowed me to retrain as a life and career coach and I am so grateful to have seized this opportunity!

“5 strengths expat wife and entrepreneur have in common!” – Article
