Episode notes
Podcast Episode Description: In this episode, I sit down with Julie from Massachusetts, who moved to New Zealand just six months ago while her Kiwi husband remains in the U.S. to wrap up their life there. We talk about the realities of starting over—from navigating loneliness and building new networks to the challenges of finding work in a new country. Julie shares her first impressions of Kiwi food, her journey toward settling in, and what it’s really like to make such a big move solo. It’s an honest and heartfelt conversation about transition, resilience, and grit to start over.
