The Places We Call Home podcast
Moving abroad changes everything — your identity, your friendships, your confidence, and the way you see yourself.
If you’re an expat or immigrant woman navigating homesickness, loneliness, culture shock, or the quiet ache of starting over in a new country, this podcast is your place to feel understood.
I’m Yolanda Reshemah — a six‑time expat who has rebuilt her life across borders since age 10. I know what it means to land in a new country and suddenly question who you are, where you belong, and how to make friends when everything feels unfamiliar.
Each episode explores the emotional and psychological side of life abroad:
• the identity shift no one warns you about
• the loneliness that shows up in unexpected moments
• the friendships that fade — and the ones that save you
• the courage it takes to rebuild your confidence
• the longing for “home” when you’re not sure where that is anymore
You’ll hear honest conversations with global women, stories of reinvention, and reflections on belonging, resilience, and becoming someone new in a new place.
If you’ve moved to the United States — or anywhere far from home — and you’re trying to make friends, find community, or feel like yourself again, this podcast will sit with you in the in‑between.
Take The Places We Call Home with you on your walks, commutes, and quiet evenings — especially on the days when the ache of “elsewhere” feels too loud.
