Show Notes
Synopsis:
Karina is an adult third culture kid, a psychologist, a sex therapist, and a mother. She helps expatriated cross-cultural and frequent traveling couples and families to thrive. We will talk first about her research that she's doing on becoming mothers abroad, and then she's going to give us her insights into frequent business travel. When you are a mom, this is a topic that hasn’t yet been addressed on this podcast, and one that comes up a lot in questions about frequent business travel.
In this Episode:
- About Karina’s background and research
- Matrescence, the process of becoming a mother
- Combining motherhood and travel – Is it possible? Karina and Rhoda talk about what to consider in your decision-making and what to put in place if you decide to travel.
- How each situation is different - be it moms, dads, or children – and how that should impact us. How to help each other in spite of differences.
- Role models in children’s lives and the importance of being emotionally present.
- Children’s developmental stages and the importance for attachment.
- You don’t need to be perfect!
