Ep 187: Identity, Belonging, and Grief with Megan Norton

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Identity is often closely tied to our location: where we were born, where we grew up, where we live now. For those of us living nomadic lives, however, that sense of identity can feel out of reach. As we transition from place to place, we experience the grief of leaving our old selves behind and the excitement of stepping into a new world. But how can you find a sense of belonging when you don’t belong to any one place?</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, I’m joined by third culture kid educator and author Megan Norton. She’s sharing her experience as an adult third culture kid, how her identity informs her work, and how those of us living highly mobile lives can find belonging wherever we are in the world.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">What a third culture kid is and how it affects people in adulthood</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How those of us living nomadic lives experience a similar blend of cultures and places</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The benefits and challenges that come with being a third culture kid</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How identity and diversity are shifting in our interconnected world</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Processing the grief and loss that comes with a nomadic or highly mobile lifestyle</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to thrive in a nomadic lifestyle full of transition</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How “belonging” can mean different things to different people</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using your multicultural experience as a strength in the professional world</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Building your own community as a nomad or third culture kid</span></li> <li> </li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For full show notes, resources, and links go to</span> <a hr
