Your guide to

FOLLOWING a diplomat without disappearing

Being a DIPLOMATIC spouse means building a life around your partner's career.

Some thrive in this role, while others struggle.

Ever wondered what makes a difference?

The answer is: Knowing what is coming and making it work for you

You are here because, at some point, you said yes to following your partner abroad.

They stepped into a diplomatic career. And you stepped into a life nobody prepared you for. The structure, the purpose, and the recognition are all theirs. What you got was less clear. Often unpaid, unsupported, unseen.

Those who have experienced it say that diplomatic life is a journey of a million gains and a million losses. You may have expected the gains, and they are real, but no one prepared you for the losses.

This is a place to discuss all these topics, ask the uncomfortable questions, hear the answers, and find ways to make this life work for you…

…to follow your partner without disappearing.

I bring together twelve years of lived diplomatic experience across three continents, professional training as a psychologist, and years of research into the realities of diplomatic life.

I have witnessed the stories of hundreds of diplomatic spouses and partners, and I know the patterns that hurt and the points at which things can change.

My work is about helping you navigate this life without shame, guilt, or the weight of feeling alone.

So that you can follow your partner abroad and back home and remain proudly yourself.
