Embracing Imperfection: The Courage to Make Mistakes While Learning a New Language Abroad

This might be the funniest episode we recorded so far. Full of laugher moments and authentic shares. In this episode, we have a special guest, Hannah Murcott, a dear friend of us who simply shared her journey relocating from the UK to France and how she embraced her imperfections and mistakes in the process of learning French and figuring out how to be herself in this new environment. Mistakes are a natural part of our learning curve in a new country, and if we approach them the right way, with some humor and a touch of silliness, we can navigate those awkward moments way better.

Thriving in the Unknown: Seeing and Seizing Opportunities When Living Abroad

Thriving in the Unknown: Seeing and Seizing Opportunities When Living Abroad

On today's episode, we dive into the surprising world of 'opportunities' and how we tend sometimes to look the other direction instead of seizing the opportunity in front of us, for all the 'right' excuses. Join us as we unravel the truth behind an amazing opportunity we almost missed because we were too afraid, too skeptical, too in our heads, and how thanks to an amazing woman we were able to shift the narrative and go for it. Being able to recognize something as an opportunity, is one thing. Being able to actually take the leap of faith (in yourself) and seize it, require a lot more of us - but that's actually what we should be doing. Try. Open the door.

Whether you're a seasoned expat or contemplating a new adventure of living abroad, this episode will empower you to find all the good reasons why you should take the opportunity that is in front of you.


We also want to take this opportunity to give a big THANK YOU to Michaela Hornakova who presented us a huge opportunity, and made sure we grab it and not let it pass by us.

"Oh, you, my fellow being, open yourself to the time and space of the world, to the offered life that must be cherished and embraced open arms.

A life to embrace, to love without reservation, passionately, without constraint, without limits, as a unique and irreplaceable gift.

Oh you my brother, venerate life, all life, yours like that of others.

Respect life, because it is exceptional, indivisible, irreducible, egalitarian.

Life is fraternal, life is libertarian..." - Sevec Szmelcman

Lost in Translation: The Hilarious Stereotypes and Clichés of Living Abroad

Lost in Translation: The Hilarious Stereotypes and Clichés of Living Abroad

In this episode of the Coffee Talkie Show, we are joined by Christian Lobet, a former French expat who has been living in Toronto. Together, we explore some of the fun stereotypes and cliches associated with the expat lifestyle. From the classic "lost in translation" moments to the hilarious comments about Paris and Parisians, we cover it all. We also discuss the importance of not taking these stereotypes too seriously when preparing your move abroad, and finding joy in the unique experiences that come with living in a foreign country.

Our guest today, Christian combined his personal expat experience, humorous encounters in Canada, and a desire to create positive conversations with new people to develop 'French Abroad' a clothing brand that is now sold worldwide - appealing not only to French but also Francophiles. His success even led to the establishment of two pop-up stores at Galeries Lafayette - the biggest department store in France.


So grab a cup of coffee and join us for some laughs as we dive into the fun and quirky side of expat life.

The preparation for your move abroad you DID NOT think about

The preparation for your move abroad you DID NOT think about

Moving abroad requires some preparations: visa, packing, housing, jobs, school for the kids, plane tickets, health care, language... But there is one thing most experts out there are not talking about - and it's YOUR OWN preparation. Yourself. Who you are when you're moving abroad has a lot to do with how this journey is going to take place. We moved abroad so many times before figuring this part out - and we just couldn't keep it to ourselves. So grab your coffee (or wine, depending on the time you'll listen to this) - and join us on today's episode. BTW we'll also share with you the 5 levels of personal preparations - so you can start paying attention to those.

Why this is your time to love yourself? Plus 3 things you can start doing today.

It's funny how it's sometimes easier for us to love others unconditionally - with their amazing qualities and annoying flaws. But when it comes to us - we put so many conditions. I'll love myself when I'm skinners, smarter, more successful, in a relationship, after my divorce, when I move to another country etc.  Today it's Valentine's Day, and what better day to start loving yourself? Easier said than done, we know. That's why we invite you on this super vulnerable and honest episode about loving ourselves unconditionally.

How can you navigate stress if you don't know what's the root of it? Let's find it out together

How can you navigate stress if you don't know what's the root of it? Let's find it out together

Feeling stressed is natural. So many of us are feeling it more or less depending on our day (or hour?). And it's important to be able to manage it and navigate stress so that it doesn't control our lives. But before we can do that, we got to uncover the real root of our stress. And that's a different story. Because in many cases, what get us to act in a stressful manner, isn't necessarily what caused us to feel stressed in the first place. Honesty and vulnerability is key in this case. But also communication. Once we know the root of our stress, we can better deal with it, communicate it, minimize it and manage it. And that's what we're talking about today. So whether right now you're feeling stressed or not - grab your coffee and let's figure the source together.

What makes the feeling of a home? And how can you do that no matter where you live.

There's a very frequent habit among expats to live in their relocation boxes for months after they move. We've heard the phrases 'I haven't had the time to organize it' or 'I'm just here for a short time so I don't see the point of" more than you can imagine. And here we are, telling you - make your house a home as soon as you arrive to your new location. That's how we approach life abroad in a way that serves us better.

Is it lack of knowledge or lack of acceptance?

Many times the struggle we're experiencing abroad is a result of a lack knowledge, or a lack of acceptance. And sometimes it's actually a mix of both. And to be honest we fall for it as well.

Let's deep dive into today's topic and play this little game 'lack of knowledge or acceptance'. Plus we share 3 reasons why acceptances is importante. Grab your coffee and let's start.

We got two questions for you: How are you feeling today? And now... how are you feeling today, with regard to yourself? ohh this one is a bit harder we know.

Join us on today's episode in which we'll share the 3 main reasons why we believe it's the foundation to everything really, but also what makes a good relationship with ourselves.

How to perceive stress of life abroad in a way that serve you?

How to perceive stress of life abroad in a way that serve you?

'Oh wow, I'm so stressed at the moment', is something we hear all the time. Being stressed became a natural part of modern society, and for years we've been told stress is bad for us; stress causes illnesses; stress will kill you. What if there was another way to approach stress that actually is good for us? Well there is! Studies showed that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case, so in other words... if you believe stress is helping you, is good for you - that's  what going to be. Join us for today's episode in which we'll also share 3 tips to approach stress differently and better (in our opinion at least). 


Watch the amazing TED talk we mentioned in our episode here:

'How to make stress your friend | Kelly McGonigal' - https://youtu.be/RcGyVTAoXEU


"Love stress. Not because it's "fashionable", but because it your body benefits from it in great ways "

This isn't a 'cliche' it's the life choice that drives us forward no matter where we live

Living life to the fullest isn't something we invented, it's actually in our DNA, a life lesson we got from our Grandfather - and that's how we were raised. Why are we sharing this with you today? Because moving and living abroad is a life choice - so better fully live it. It's easy to turn on the 'survival' mode and let those challenging times pass by, but in our belief, it is better to learn to enjoy them as well and making the most out of each moment. That's our legacy, so join us on today's episode to get a couple of tips and know us a bit better.

'But how can you leave me and go live somewhere else?' - Ever heard this? So did we!

'But how can you leave me and go live somewhere else?' - Ever heard this? So did we!

One of the struggles for most people who decide to move abroad, is leaving the people that we care about 'behind'. Leaving old parents, siblings, friends, kids etc. is not easy, but it's up to us to decide how do we look at this situation. Are we leaving 'behind' or are we choosing something for ourselves and we'll find way to make the relationships work? 

We know for a fact, that our family bond got stronger over the years that we were far from one another. We found solutions - and that's one of the things we share on today's episode. Grab your coffee, and let's start. 

"The quality of your relationship isn't measured by the distance you're from one another" - Smoozitive
