Expat moms are extraordinary. They are brave, capable, and open.

However, expat moms have unique challenges as well. And many of those challenges can be exhausting and discouraging.

I help moms get to the bottom of their frustrations and give them the tools to feel better. I teach concrete skills for mind and emotional management.

This isn’t your average self-care with chocolate and bubble baths or your feel good breathing techniques. This is science and psychology applied and it will change everything. Permanently.

Do any of these sound familiar?

If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place. You aren’t alone. Lots of expat moms feel alone, frustrated and discouraged. In fact, the numbers of expat moms who struggle might surprise you.

Whether it’s these challenges or just navigating the regular challenges of life, in addition to being an expat mom–you have a lot on your plate.

Many moms think that they can just “tough it out”–but when moms aren’t thriving it affects everyone in the family.

The good news is, you don’t have to “tough it out.” It’s possible to be truly happy most of the time and overwhelmed and frustrated sometimes instead of the other way around.

I Know What It’s Like to Feel Stuck

I’m Jennie, and I know what it’s like to not be coping as well as you’d like to.

I thought I would love living abroad!   But when we first moved overseas, I spent a lot of time feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, resentful, anxious, and discouraged as an expat mom for many of the reasons above.

I then felt guilty because I knew I had an amazing life, and I SHOULD feel happy!  Most of all I knew I wasn’t being the mom I wanted to be.  

I tried lots of things and ultimately discovered some tools that helped me feel better.

I went from feeling frustrated most of the time and happy occasionally, to happy most of the time and frustrated occasionally. 

I’d Love to Be Your Guide to Feeling Better

I’ve lived abroad for most of the last 10 years: I’ve lived on four different continents and in six different countries.  I’m married to a U.S. diplomat, and I’m the mom of four lovely daughters (12,9,7,3).  

However, after my experience struggling abroad, I decided to become a Certified Life Coach in order help other brave expat moms feel better. I help moms around the world learn concrete tools to feel happier and more fulfilled.
