<p>At the time of recording this episode, we had not released a podcast episode or posted ANYTHING on Taking Route for a solid nine months. Denise, Melissa, and Alicia certainly didn’t intend to go dark for so long, but we just so happened to all go through pretty intense seasons of life all at the same time. So, for this episode, we thought it might be a good idea to catch up with you guys and discuss something fun, something hard, and something hopeful we’ve each experienced over the last several months. We think you’ll all be able to relate and hopefully glean some truth to apply to your own life (or save for later when the hard season comes). </p> <div> <p>_______</p> </div> <div> <p>There are so many ways to get involved in our community.</p> <p>Join us on <a href= "http://instagram.com/takingrouteblog/">Instagram</a>. </p> <p>Interact with other expats on our <a href= "http://facebook.com/groups/takingroutetogether/">private Facebook group</a>. </p> <p>Search for expat articles on our <a href= "https://www.takingroute.net/">blog</a>.</p> </div>

<div> <p>A quick Google search of “culture stress” will inform you there are phases to this phenomenon. One source summarizes it with the following four phases: fun, flight, fight, and fit. It’s important for you to know that EVERYONE experiences cultural stress to some degree while living in a foreign context. Knowing this fact and being aware of the phases of culture stress will help you recognize it more quickly, which then allows you to be better prepared, which also means you do not have to self-diagnose yourself as being a complete basket case. It will look different for each of us, but in this episode of It’s Tea Time Somewhere, we’ll be sharing stories of what each of these phases have looked like for us over the years. </p> <p>Mentioned in this Episode:</p> <div class="summary-title"><a class="summary-title-link" href= "https://www.takingroute.net/taking-route/2018/11/17/how-mcdonalds-helped-me-recognize-the-4-phases-of-culture-stress"> How McDonald’s Helped Me Recognize the 4 Phases of Culture Stress by</a> <span class= "summary-metadata-item summary-metadata-item--author"><a href= "https://www.takingroute.net/taking-route?author=5d6caf25098b560001e86263#show-archive"> Alicia Boyce</a></span></div> <div class="summary-title"> </div> <div class="summary-title"> <div id="yui_3_17_2_1_1707369190736_175" class= "summary-item summary-item-record-type-text sqs-gallery-design-autogrid-slide summary-item-has-thumbnail summary-item-has-cats summary-item-has-tags summary-item-has-author summary-item-has-comments-enabled positioned" data-type="image"> <div class="summary-content sqs-gallery-meta-container" data-animation-role="content"> <div class="summary-title"><a class="summary-title-link" href= "https://www.takingroute.net/taking-route/2016/12/05/time-go-home-know"> Is It Time to Go Home?

<div> <p>Are you thinking about moving to another country and wondering if you’re cut out for the expat life? If so, you’ll want to listen to this episode ASAP! If you’re a current expat, you’ll still want to listen because who among us has not continued to question if we’re cut out for this life? 😅🥴🤪</p> <p>In this episode, we’ll discuss reasons NOT to move to another country—while also acknowledging how none of us were truly “ready” for the life we stepped into. The opportunity to CHOOSE to live outside your passport country is a great privilege. It’s an invitation to learn and grow, and it seems crazy to say anything but, “absolutely yes,” in response. However, before you buy a one way ticket and sell all your things, consider this episode an Expat Preparedness Manual we give you to assist in the decision-making process. </p> <p><a href="https://www.takingroute.net/podcast/">Check out our show notes</a> for links to all the things we talked about in this episode.</p> <p>_______</p> </div> <div> <p>There are so many ways to get involved in our community.</p> <p>Join us on <a href= "http://instagram.com/takingrouteblog/">Instagram</a>. </p> <p>Interact with other expats on our <a href= "http://facebook.com/groups/takingroutetogether/">private Facebook group</a>. </p> <p>Search for expat articles on our <a href= "https://www.takingroute.net/">blog</a>.</p> </div>
