Ever tried answering the question “Where are you from?” and gave a 10-minute monologue? Ever caught yourself switching between three languages in the middle of a sentence? Ever wondered what home really means when you’ve had more than one?
If so, welcome to Quiero un Panino con Cheese, the podcast for parents, kids, and families living the beautiful chaos of multicultural life.
Season 2 will be hosted by Gaia Striano, a TCK mom who has raised 3 TCKs across borders, cultures, and languages.

Quiero un Panino con Cheese - a Podcast for TCKs and Multicultural Families
Expat Guilt - with Elisabeth Hutman, multilingual psychotherapist
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we sit down with Elisabeth Hutman, a multilingual psychologist based in Madrid, to explore a topic many expats quietly struggle with: expat guilt.
Together, we unpack questions such as:
- Do people even realize when they’re experiencing expat guilt?
- What are the signs, and how can we recognize it in ourselves?
- How is expat guilt tied to our sense of identity?
- Are certain cultures more susceptible to it?
- What role does empathy play in shaping these feelings?
- Are there different forms of expat guilt?
- And most importantly: What tools or techniques can help us cope with being far from family and home?
Elisabeth offers deep insights and practical advice as we shed light on an emotional experience many expats and immigrants don’t even realize they’re carrying. If you're living abroad and struggling with hard-to-name feelings, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
