Moving Abroad: DON'T Let This Identity Crisis Hit You!

Summary

Relocating to a foreign country can expose an expat's lack of external validation and lead to either frantic productivity or destructive drifting as a coping mechanism. This confrontation with self highlights the need for pre-existing inner work, such as self-reflection, reading, and defining personal interests and vision. Ultimately, navigating this challenge successfully requires knowing oneself and having a genuine vision for one's life before making the leap.
