A free self-care toolkit for the season abroad
Rooted for the Holidays
If you’re spending this season far from home, I’m so glad this found you.
The holidays abroad can feel a little off in ways that are hard to put into words. The weather doesn’t match. Your people are on a screen. The traditions that usually hold you aren’t quite within reach.
This toolkit is a place to land. Inside are simple practices to steady your body, bring pieces of home into here, and make room for both grief and joy this season.
What’s Inside…
🌅 Arrive
Notice what this season stirs up, and know you’re not alone in it.
🌬️ Steady
Simple tools for when your body feels revved up or shut down.
🌱 Root
Small ways to bring home into here, and find rhythm again.
🫶 Tend
Compassion, permission, and room for both grief and joy.

Hi, I’m Breanna.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor who spent eight years living and working in Kenya. I know what it’s like to call home from a sunny beach while snow falls on the other side of the screen.
I created this toolkit, and my course Rooted Abroad, for people living that in-between life: grateful for where they are, and still missing where they’re from.

Rooted Abroad is a course for people living and working abroad, exploring rhythm, belonging, grief, and resilience. It’s built from my years as a counsellor and my own life overseas.
