The World of the Third Culture Kid – BG Season 1 Episode 8 Reflection & Highlights

What does it mean to grow up everywhere and belong nowhere? In this episode of Badly Governed, we unpack the reality of Third Culture Kids (TCKs); children of immigrants, expats, diplomats, military and missionary families who are raised between cultures, countries, and identities.

We dive into how life “in between” shapes identity, belonging, mental health, friendships, family dynamics, school, and self‑worth, and why so many TCKs struggle to answer a simple question: Where is home? Perfect for anyone navigating cross-cultural childhood, diaspora life, global mobility, or raising kids across borders.
