Fuck The Rules Podcast
Season 3 Episode 3
There seems to be little discussion about living internationally, adjusting to life there whether for a month or for years, what does that do for your mental health, and what the fuck happens when it's about adjusting to living back in your home country.
Caroline Anderson, my guest and also my cousin, talks with me about living and working in Japan, I share my experiences after only a month away in Germany, and our experiences adjusting back to life in the US.
PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.

Caroline, in her words, "I'm a married cat lady, who had a crazy idea to live in Japan for almost a decade. I went from midwestern suburbs to a tiny apartment in a city before Google translate. Yet somehow I made it work."
