If you've ever moved abroad and felt that low-level unease that's hard to name, this episode is going to resonate. Kym sits down with Sarah Grosso to explore what it actually feels like to arrive somewhere new and the small, practical ways wild nesting can help you start to feel at home there.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, Sarah brings a completely unique lens to this conversation. She's an anthropologist turned therapist who has lived and worked across multiple countries and now supports expats and international couples navigating relocation, identity shifts, and the search for belonging. She shares her concept of wild nesting, practical somatic tools you can use on your next walk, and what it actually looks like to put down roots when you know you might move again.

In This Episode, We Explore…

  • What "wild nesting" means and how it helps expats feel grounded wherever they land.
  • How Sarah's background in anthropology shapes the way she works with clients across cultures.
  • The somatic orienting practice you can do in 30 seconds to send safety cues to your nervous system.
  • Why "glimmers" matter and how noticing them builds resilience over time.
  • How Sarah combines her teaching career, private practice, and workshops as a true traveling therapist.
