Kimmy Schmidt’s story might be extreme, but her journey in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt mirrors what many expats feel when thrown into a new culture:
📱 Culture shock from technology, slang, and city life.
🌍 The struggle to fit in after isolation.
😊 Smiling through trauma while learning to heal.
💡 Finding quirky, creative ways to cope.
✨ Staying true to yourself instead of caving to social pressure.

Kimmy reminds us that adaptation isn’t about perfection—it’s about resilience, humor, and finding people who accept you just as you are.

🦋 At , our therapists—expats themselves—help people through the same mix of shock, struggles, and growth. Because every expat deserves to feel unbreakable in their own journey.

👉 Which part of Kimmy’s story feels most familiar to your expat experience?

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety about the future? Try this simple but powerful exercise:

✍️ Write a kind letter to your future self.
✨ Share your dreams and worries.
✨ Encourage yourself like a good friend would.
✨ Remind yourself that uncertainty is part of growth.

This small act can bring comfort, perspective, and hope—helping you reflect on where you are and where you want to go.

At , we know expat life often feels uncertain. That’s why our therapists—expats themselves—help you find tools to stay grounded and hopeful in the journey.

🦋 Would you try writing a letter to your future self?

Moving abroad isn’t always a shared dream—it’s often a shared sacrifice.

✨ Trailing Spouse Syndrome affects partners who relocate for their significant other’s job. It can bring:
💔 Loss of purpose
🌍 Isolation from familiar networks
🤯 An identity that feels “under construction”

Behind the excitement of relocation, many partners quietly struggle to redefine themselves in a new country.

At , we believe mental health support should include the whole expat family. Our therapists—expats themselves—help partners rebuild meaning, connection, and confidence in their new home.

🦋 Because moving together should feel like growing together.

Two lifestyles, two philosophies.

✨ In Italy, it’s all about La Dolce Vita — savoring long meals, deep conversations, and the sweetness of everyday life.
💡 Expat Tip: Slow down, enjoy every bite, and let conversations flow. Living like an Italian means finding joy in the little moments.

✨ In Sweden, life is shaped by Lagom — “just enough.” A balance between work and leisure, where well-being is built on moderation.
💡 Expat Tip: Find your balance! Schedule downtime to recharge—whether it’s reading, meditating, or simply taking it easy.

For expats, embracing these cultural rhythms can transform the way you experience life abroad.

🦋 At , we help expats navigate cultural contrasts and find harmony between their roots and new lifestyles.

👉 Which lifestyle speaks more to you: La Dolce Vita or Lagom?

On average, 30–40% of income goes straight to rent and utilities.
That means less financial freedom, more stress, and a constant pressure to make ends meet while adapting to life abroad.

The hidden cost? Mental health.
When money stress piles on top of cultural shock and loneliness, it becomes even harder to build a stable, happy life overseas.

At , we help expats take care of their mental well-being—because thriving abroad isn’t just about paying the bills, it’s about feeling supported, understood, and balanced.

🦋 You’re not alone in this.

Thomas, the Congolese immigrant in the UK, shows us the reality many expats face:
✨ Balancing pride in your roots with the pressure to adapt.
🗣️ Language barriers and accents that make you feel like an outsider.
🌍 The tug-of-war between heritage and the need to belong.

His story is about growth—moving from self-doubt to confidence, finding connection, and embracing both cultures without losing himself.

Thomas reminds us of the expat journey: identity is not about choosing one side, but learning to live in between worlds.

🦋 At , our psychologists—expats themselves—help people navigate exactly this. Culture shock, language barriers, and the search for belonging are part of the journey, but they don’t have to be faced alone.

👉 Can you relate to Thomas’s struggle of fitting in while holding onto who you are?

Stuck in overthinking? Instead of just saying “transform yourself”, try the ABCD Method:
🅰️ Identify the trigger situation
🅱️ Notice your thoughts (about others or yourself)
🅲 Connect to the feeling it creates
🅳 Reframe it with a more positive and realistic view

✨ This simple 4-step recipe helps you shift perspective, calm your mind, and find clarity.

At , we share tools like this because expats face constant stressors—cultural shocks, language barriers, and feeling “different.” The right recipe can help you take back control of your mindset.

🦋 What’s your go-to mental health recipe when life feels overwhelming?

Moving abroad doesn’t just change your address—it can shake your sense of belonging.
✨ Social displacement is the feeling of losing your networks and even your social status after relocating.
It’s like every introduction feels like the first day of school all over again.

For expats, this often means:
🌍 Struggling to rebuild friendships
💼 Feeling overlooked in new workplaces
💔 Missing the safety net of familiar communities

At , we know these silent challenges are real. That’s why our psychologists—expats themselves—help you rebuild confidence, identity, and connection in your new home.

🦋 Because moving abroad shouldn’t mean losing yourself.

Different countries, different cultural codes.

✨ In Norway, equality and respect take center stage. Guided by the Jante Law, Norwegians value humility and believe no one is superior.
💡 Expat Tip: Embrace the down-to-earth vibe—treat everyone as equals, no matter their background.

✨ In the Netherlands, honesty and directness lead the way. Dutch people appreciate clear communication, no beating around the bush.
💡 Expat Tip: Be upfront and clear—it builds stronger connections and avoids misunderstandings.

For expats, understanding these cultural contrasts can be the difference between feeling isolated or truly integrating.

🦋 At , we help expats navigate these subtle but powerful cultural shifts with therapists who’ve lived them too.

👉 Which culture feels closer to your style: Norwegian humility or Dutch directness? Share in the comments!

🌍 The world is more connected than ever.

Today, 300–304 million expats call foreign countries home—making up 3.6–3.7% of the global population.

Behind those numbers are people navigating:
✨ Cultural shock and identity shifts
✨ Loneliness and homesickness
✨ The search for belonging abroad

At , we believe no expat should face these challenges alone. Our mission is simple: connect expats with therapists who get it—because they’re expats too.

🦋 Expat life is more than a statistic. It’s about building bridges, finding support, and knowing you belong.

Robin Scherbatsky’s journey in How I Met Your Mother feels familiar to many expats.
✨ She proudly carries her Canadian roots, yet adapts to New York life—blending humor, ambition, and cultural identity.

But like many living abroad, Robin faces:
🌍 Distance from family and a father who struggles to understand her new world.
💼 The clash of ambition vs. connection—long hours, loneliness, and questions about belonging.
😂 Humor as her shield, turning cultural quirks and struggles into resilience.

Robin shows us what so many expats feel: the push and pull between home, career, and connection in a foreign country.

🦋 At Expathy, we believe no expat should navigate these highs and lows alone. That’s why our therapists—expats themselves—understand the unspoken realities of life abroad.

👉 Can you relate to Robin’s story? Share your expat moment in the comments.

Scandinavia vs. Italy: Same goal...laughter. Totally different punchlines.

In Scandinavia, humor gets dark, dry, and a little weird (in the best way). In Italy, it's loud, warm, and 90% about family drama.

Whether you're laughing through the absurd or the everyday chaos, humor is how we connect.
At , we study these cultural styles so expats can laugh with the locals not just smile politely.
