Living between cultures can be both exciting and challenging. As a Third Culture Kid (TCK), you might find yourself juggling different identities, languages, and expectations. This unique experience can sometimes affect your mental well-being in ways others might not fully understand. That’s why creating a mental well-being blog tailored for TCKs can be a powerful way to share stories, offer support, and build a community where you feel seen and heard. In this post, I’ll walk

Some people find yoga through fitness. Others find it because life gets shaky and they need something that helps them feel steady again. That’s how Isabella Ciocca  found it.
