💬 “The struggle is real.” That’s just one of many messages we’ve received since sharing our latest article on the emotional side of repatriation. What you’re seeing here is just a glimpse of the stories and sentiments that have landed in our inbox in the last 48 hours…

Repatriation is hard. It’s messy. It’s emotional. And it hits individuals and families in different ways, at different times. But here’s what we want you to remember:

👉 You’re not alone.
👉 It’s not just you.
👉 It is easier when you’re surrounded by people who get it—those walking this road now, and those a few steps ahead reminding us: you will be okay.

✨ If you haven’t read the article yet, head to the link in bio. Then reach out—we’ve built a community that understands, and we’re here to walk it with you…or hang out with a flat white or beer in hand, chat about the chaos, and remind you you’re not alone.

New article: Home Strange Home…When coming home feels oddly foreign

You’ve landed back in Australia. The bags are unpacked, the coffee tastes familiar… but something feels off.

🎭 One minute you’re thrilled to reconnect, the next you’re googling: “Why do I feel so weird after coming home?”

That, my friend, is reverse culture shock—and it’s real.

Whether you’ve returned from London, Singapore, Paris or beyond, the adjustment back to “normal” can be more jarring than the move overseas ever was.

Here’s what can help:

🌍 Acknowledge it’s normal
🤝 Connect with other returnees (the InSync crew is a great start!)
🎯 Rebuild your sense of purpose
🧠 Keep your global mindset alive
💆 Prioritise self-care—this stuff is exhausting!

Does reverse culture shock sound familiar to you? Let’s talk about what no one warned us about. 💬👇

You might be eligible for a UK state pension – and there’s a fast-approaching deadline to boost what you can claim. We had no idea either!

🍳 InSync Breakfasts: Where the real conversations happen ☕

We can’t tell you everything that goes down at these breakfasts… but let’s just say the mix of generous insights, shared understanding, and a few laugh-out-loud moments makes it so worth getting up early for!

Case in point: we forgot to take a photo at breakfast, but 20 minutes after we wrapped, these three were still deep in conversation—laughing, swapping numbers, and already planning their next catch-up. That’s the magic of connecting with people who get it.

Curious about our private breakfast series? DM us for details.

📍 Brisbane, you’re up next! If you want in, let us know—we’re locking in a date soon.

Some much-needed nutrition… and not just the breakfast! ☕🍳✨

This morning’s InSync breakfast was all about connection, curiosity, and real talk about the highs and lows of coming "home." With guests who’ve been back in Australia from 1 month to 5+ years, the generosity in sharing experiences, insights, and networks was incredible.

💡 Navigating the job market – the real intel you won’t find in a Google search.
🤝 The power of networks – to land roles and succeed in them.
🎢 The emotional rollercoaster – for us, our partners, and our kids (especially those who have never lived here!).

If you’re a professional who has recently moved back and want to connect with others on the same journey, DM me to learn about our invite-only breakfast series.

📍 Sydney, you're up next! We have 2 spots left for next Tuesday—who’s in?

(And no, we didn’t raid the wine stash behind us… just coffee this morning! ☕😂)

“Nothing beats genuine conversations, purposeful connections, and the kind of stories (and laughs!) that only fellow expats truly understand. 🥂✨

Thanks to everyone who joined us for an evening of great company and real talk about life, career transitions, and what it means to come ‘home.’ Until next time! 🌍💬
