“When we decided to move to Australia, one of my biggest fears wasn’t about visas or jobs or even the flight… it was about whether I’d ever feel at home again. I worried that I’d always be in this in-between place — missing my old home more than I loved my new one.”

Welcome to the New Life in Australia podcast

In this week's episode, Karen chats about her feelings around what home means to her, and how her perspective has shifted over the years. The episode covers:

• The places where Karen has lived and her feelings around 'home' in those places.
• How she was always searching for the elusive feeling of 'home.
• How home is a feeling, but it comes from a choice you make. If you don't feel at home where you are, you get to choose and move on.
• How you can choose to leave places even if you love it and feel at home there - it's OK to end up loving more than one place!
• How staying somewhere because it's easy isn't usually the right decision. Growth comes when you challenge youself.
• And more!
