I'm in a workshop today on Brene Brown's Daring Way. Currently talking about self-compassion and self-kindness - including that we are often our own harshest critics. Today I also got this message from a friend. I want this version of me in my own head!
I landed in Manila last night after 17hrs of travel, slept well, and I'm gearing up for four days of awesomeness at #ISCA2025 with international school counsellors, caregivers, and researchers from around the world!

Thank you for saying this!
ISCA is an amazing organisation supporting international education worldwide by equipping and encouraging international school counselors with targeted training and support. This year's theme is "Unity in Diversity" and I'm very excited to be taking part!

Next week I'll be in Manila presenting at the International School Counselor Association (ISCA) annual conference!
I'll be sharing brand new data from TCK Training's 2024 survey of 1,643 Adult TCKs, looking at their long term of mental health.

You did! Did I add you to the wrong one 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I'll go fix it 🤣
Not at all! Welcome!!
I've arrived at the airport 12hrs late for a flight, but mixing up the destination is definitely a new one!
I've made LOTS of travel mistakes, but this is a new one for me...
My parents arrived at the airport after a vacation to find the destination wasn't what they expected! Instead of a major city nearby, where they left their car, they actually booked a direct flight to their hometown. Oops!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
Zach is great!! I've continued to work on new research, to learn more about what #TCKs are experiencing as children and long term into adulthood. Was just saying to a colleague this morning that I could easily spend 40hrs/week on this research - both interesting and important.
Sounds like me describing why I walk with a cane.
My third #nonfiction book is well underway! I'm running a survey to complement my 120+ interviews, learning how people experience change and a sense of home.
Can you answer 36 questions and share this post to help me out?

Making this shift in my approach to managing emotions changed my life. But I couldn't do it well until I was diagnosed #actuallyautistic and started giving myself the accommodations I needed to feel safe and at peace.
Hahaha brilliant
Sure, if that's what you think will work best, it's fine by me. I'm happy to go ahead and add anyone who isn't on my list already.
That's awesome!
You're welcome! I love the Starter Pack feature, especially for those of us migrating from The Bad Place. I had so many connections in the #intled world there, I love this head start way of finding each other.
I've created a starter pack for people here on Bluesky who work in/with international schools. This is a great way to find and connect with colleagues in the international education field!
Comment to be added to the list 😊

I love it too! The designer did an amazing job ❤️
I found you through the "well researched history" starter pack!
I really love the Starter Pack feature of bluesky ❤️
In addition to our free #ThirdCultureKid #research releases are optional workshops where I talk through the data and help people understand it. (Turns out not everyone is a numbers geek like me?)
I'm really looking forward to the Live Q&A, coming soon!

Research on #ThirdCultureKids is a big part of my job at TCK Training. We release paywall-free data because information is important to everyone!
Our latest release includes data on how #TCKs perceive their childhood experiences, plus longterm mental health.

I actually wrote about that in my first book! "Misunderstood: The Impact of Growing Up in the 21st Century" starts by examining those differences, then goes on to look at the TCK experience in the internet age. I did nearly 300 interviews and surveyed 750 #TCKs.

If only the rest of society could see it that obviously. Sharing what we have with others lifts us all up.
Looks like my sister's lizard - a Central Bearded Dragon! Although he's even bigger than that now.
It's such a great feature!!
The international diplomacy timeline cleanse we all need.
The second draft of the manuscript is complete, I'm about to launch a survey for additional data while I work on creating reflective questions to end each short chapter.
