- From self-questioning to self-understanding.

What You’ll Learn
"After 3 years of living overseas, I had stopped noticing the ways I was adapting by pushing through.
I completed this course over the summer before stepping into a new teaching role, and it gave me language for experiences I hadn't been able to explain, along with practical tools I could actually use.
I finished the course feeling more grounded, more aware of what I needed, and better equipped for the year ahead. It's a resource I know I'll come back to and discover new things each time I do."
—Sarah, International School Teacher, Thailand
"I didn’t realize how much stress I had been carrying until I started working through this course.
Living in South Africa and working with an NGO had become so normal to me that I had stopped noticing the toll some of it was taking.
The course helped me slow down, understand what was going on beneath the surface, and find practical ways to take better care of myself. It felt honest, helpful, and easy to come back to.”
— Chris, Relief and Development Worker, South Africa

Still Have Questions?
-
No. While this course is grounded in counsellor-informed tools and psychoeducation, it is not counselling and doesn’t replace the individualized support that counselling offers. Think of it more as a supportive bridge — a place to better understand yourself and gain practical tools for life overseas.
-
This course was created for expats, missionaries, third culture adults, and those living overseas who want support navigating the emotional realities of life abroad. Whether you’ve just moved or have lived overseas for years, this course is designed to meet you where you are.
-
You do not have to be in crisis for this course to be helpful. Many people living overseas simply want support to live more intentionally, feel more in control of their experience, and grow into the person they want to be abroad.
-
Yes. One of the most common experiences of living overseas is holding gratitude and struggle at the same time. You can deeply value this life and still find parts of it hard.
-
Of course! Take a peek at a free sample module here to see if this course would serve you.
-
You’ll have access to the course for 5 years, so you can move through it at your own pace and return to the lessons, tools, and reflections whenever they feel helpful. If new materials are added over time, you’ll have access to those as well.
-
This course was created with that in mind. It offers a supportive place to begin — helping you better understand what’s happening inside of you while building practical tools for everyday life.
-
Yes! If you're purchasing the course for a larger group, workplace, or organization, I'd be happy to offer a discounted group price. Please get in touch to learn more.
-
Lessons are intentionally short and approachable, designed to fit the rhythms of real life overseas. Inside, you’ll find 20+ lessons, a companion activity guide, and a group guide for those wanting to move through the course with others.
-
Absolutely. Sometimes the impact of life overseas becomes clearer over time. Whether you are newly abroad or years into this life, the tools and reflections are designed to support the season you’re in.
-
Life overseas comes with so many different realities, and I know finances can look different depending on the season you are in.
If this course feels like a fit for this season but the cost feels out of reach right now, reduced rate options are available. If this course feels like something that could support you right now, I want there to be room for conversation around cost.
If needed, you are welcome to fill out the short form here and share what price point feels manageable right now. No long explanation needed, just enough for me to understand what feels possible in this season.
I’m Breanna
And this course is deeply personal to me. I get it. I’m a counsellor, expat, and someone who knows firsthand the complexity of building a life far from home.
After years of living overseas and supporting expats in the counselling room, I created this course to offer the kind of understanding, tools, and support I wish more people living overseas had access to along the way.
-
Alongside my counselling work, I occasionally speak for international schools, mission organizations, retreats, and cross-cultural communities on topics related to emotional wellbeing, burnout, resilience, and the realities of life overseas.
As both a counsellor, educator and someone who spent many years living abroad, I bring together professional insight and firsthand experience of the unique challenges that come with building a life overseas.
If you’re interested in having me speak at your school, conference, retreat, or organization, I’d be happy to connect and explore what might best fit your community.
