경계의 아이들| On Life Curveballs & Crossing Cultures — An Astonishing Reunion with Tanya Crossman | Episode 14 (2025)

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 

Our final episode in our Reunion series is with our Third-Culture Aussie, Tanya Crossman. This episode is not what you would expect, but it was heartfelt and thought-provoking. Tanya Crossman is a well-known author, speaker, and educator. She focuses on Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and cross-cultural identity. She has lived in China for over ten years. She co-authored a book for Australian TCKs. She also helps globally mobile families with identity, belonging, and generational dynamics.

Seven years after her first podcast, Tanya is back. She shares her thoughts on personal and global change. We explore how a major life event changed her life completely, how the pandemic changed her relationship with China, and lessons from her latest writing project, including a powerful exercise she developed to visually map the changing facets of home across different times and places. This tool revealed to her just how much her sense of identity, safety, and community had shifted over the years.

In this episode, we talk about why character development matters more than achievements. We explore how hardship can lead to quiet growth and discuss how storytelling can heal, especially when our stories reveal truths we didn’t know we needed.

Listen to the full episode to hear Tanya’s story, lessons, and insights.
