Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hi, I'm Mikkel Weber, founder and auteur of House of
Peregrine. Expat, immigrant, pioneer.
None of these were a fit, but Peregrine describes what we are
all about perfectly. Those that craft their life
story with intention. I've spent the last six years in
awe of the life changing connections and stories I have

(00:23):
experienced while living abroad and believe it is time for this
adventure to be recognized, celebrated and elevated to the
life stage that it is. Through these interviews, I hope
to connect those living internationally more deeply to
both the place they are living and with themselves and those
around them. We cover everything from
international finances and meaning making to global

(00:46):
parenting and relationships to make your time abroad more
intentional, edifying, and full of beauty.
Find us at houseofperegrine.com where you can find more ways to
connect with the ethos of Peregrine.
I hope you enjoy today's guest. Let's get started.
Hello and welcome back to the House of Peregrine podcast.

(01:06):
I'm Michael Weber, and today, aswe close out this season, I
wanted to take a moment to reflect with you on what we've
been exploring together this season and to share a peek
behind the scenes at what we have been building at House of
Peregrine over the last six months.
Our conversations have been about some of the most tender,
complex, and expansive corners of life abroad.

(01:27):
We've explored the messiness andbeauty of parenting across
cultures, the emotional train ofrelationships and transition,
and the very real realities of navigating finances
internationally and the deep longing so many of us carry to
make meaning in this extraordinary life of living
abroad. Romantic relationships,
parenting, finance and career and meaning making.

(01:48):
These are the four pillars, the ground, everything we do at
House of Peregrine, because living abroad changes your
entire life in ways you might only be able to imagine.
All of our episodes where they're focused on sex and
intimacy, trauma and healing, business and career are
navigating burnout, have traced one or more of these themes.

(02:09):
And what we've shown time and again is this.
But even in unfamiliar territory, we can find clarity,
connection and groundedness. We can thrive together.
But the podcast, which is a production of Hot Media, is just
one piece of the bigger vision. Hot Labs has been busy.
We've been building the Tech Foundation to delightfully
connect our worldwide community in new and delightful ways for

(02:32):
what is to come. At House of Peregrine, we are
building the network for those that move, and we are creating
the very missing infrastructure for life abroad.
Over the next few months, you'llsee more of this coming to life.
We're rolling out practical tools for our international
business community, more live events and spaces to gather and
grow, and offerings designed specifically for HOT members who

(02:57):
want to connect more deeply withthemselves, those around them,
and the place they currently call home.
Whether you're parenting, partnering, budgeting, building
a business, or soul searching, you have a home and an identity
as a Peregrine one from abroad. Check it out and claim your HOP
membership by simply heading to houseofperegrine.com/auth/signup.

(03:20):
There you'll find everything youneed for your life abroad.
While we take a short pause fromrecording new episodes, we'll be
releasing a few of our favorite past ones as recaps.
We know your summer is full, especially when you live abroad.
Listening time can be limited, but we found these episodes
still hold so much wisdom, care,and insight.

(03:40):
We hope you find something in them that resonates, or maybe
even something you might have missed the first time around.
Wherever you are and whatever the summer looks like for you,
we're sending warmth, presents, and joy your way.
We know the world is not as we would like it to be.
There is so much uncertainty andyet we are choosing to hold so

(04:00):
much beauty because there is resilience and there's community
at House of Peregrine. So we keep showing up for
ourselves, for each other, and for the vision of a world where
people are connected and empowered no matter where
they've landed. We'll be back soon with more
conversations and more tools to help you thrive across borders.
Take care of yourself and thank you truly for being here.

(04:23):
OK, that's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed our show.
