I’m writing under the cloak of anonymity, but I’m a new listener who’s drawing enormous strength from your show as my family prepares a leap across the Atlantic. Our situation in a nutshell (details lightly blurred for privacy): We’re relocating from the southeastern U.S. to Leiden later this year. My wife, a mental‑health therapist, is moving her practice online and will rebuild it locally once we arrive. After 25+ years in senior IT leadership, I’m pressing pause—taking up to a year off to recover from chronic workaholism and to be fully present with our one‑year‑old daughter. What I’d love to hear on the podcast 1. Life as a stay‑at‑home parent abroad—especially from a father’s viewpoint. Identity shifts, social support, and combating the “What do you do?” culture shock. Practical tips for finding community when you’re the daytime caregiver in a new country. 2. Re‑entering the workforce after an intentional sabbatical. How other expats navigated the gap on their résumé—and their self‑esteem. Ways to keep skills fresh without slipping back into unhealthy work patterns. 3. Couple dynamics when one partner’s career ramps up while the other steps back. Boundaries, shared goals, and avoiding resentment. Your interviews always manage to balance honest struggle with hard‑won wisdom. Stories from parents (and especially dads) who’ve walked this path would be invaluable as we map out our own. Thank you for being the compass many of us quietly rely on. If you tackle any of these angles, you’ll have at least one grateful listener hitting “
