Episode notes
Home doesn't stop being home just because you left it. But maybe, when you live abroad, you're not missing people's lives — you're bumping into their dimensions. Your best friend had a baby. Your cousin got married. and you're here, living a completely different reality, visiting theirs when you can.
We talked about what it means to leave, to stay gone, and to make peace with both. Episode 2 is out now 🎙️
