About this episode
In this episode of the House of Peregrine podcast, Mickelle is joined by Doris Dario, relocation coach, speaker, and founder of dorisdario.com. With personal experience living across 5 continents, 9 relocations, and raising her trilingual children across 90 countries, Doris brings an elegant blend of insight, structure, and warmth to what can otherwise feel like a chaotic transition: moving abroad.
Doris shares how relocation coaching differs from logistical support, focusing instead on alignment, values, and the emotional preparation needed to thrive, not just arrive. Drawing powerful parallels between relocation and childbirth, she offers a refreshing take on ceremony, mindset, and the sacred process of reinvention.
Key Moments:
- Why "trailing spouse" is a violent term and how to shift the dynamic
- The role of ceremony and values in creating a soft landing
- Navigating the 3-month post-move “dip” and how to prepare for it
- Raising global children: language immersion, identity, and stability
- Signs you may be running away, and how to re-center before relocating
- Why moving abroad won’t solve your problems but might transform your life
