Hey, I'm Brigitte.
I've lived the life you're living.
Multiple countries. Careers built from scratch.
In-between phases. Chronic impermanence.
Combative bureaucracies -- I know it all.
And I also know the part no one talks about:
The silent exhaustion that happens when you've relocated one too many times.
Long before "digital nomad" was a term, I chose autonomy over traditional stability.
Starting in 1982, I moved countries by choice, built careers locally, navigated bureaucracies, and mentored others through the same maze.
From the outside, it looked expansive. Self-directed. Resilient.
And for a long time, it was.
But after 40+ years of constant reinvention, something shifted.
The resilience I'd relied on turned into a silent exhaustion.
The freedom I'd chosen started to feel like fragmentation.
And the question "Where is home?" stopped having an answer.
I wasn't depressed. I was burned out from relocating.
I was disoriented from the accumulation of moves.
Over time, the steady layering of cultural adjustments and the ongoing effort to internalize new social norms
left me totally depleted.
And when I looked for support? There was nothing.
Therapists didn't have frameworks for long-term relocation burnout.
Online communities didn't exist yet.
And unless you were a "stationed expat" on a corporate assignment with built-in support, you were navigating this alone. .
So I created what I needed
I developed tools to recover from relocation fatigue--not by stopping, but by integrating.
By untangling the layers instead of adding more.
By rebuilding coherence without giving up the global life I'd chosen.
That work changed everything.
At 65, I finally feel grounded--not because I stopped moving, but because I stopped needing to move..
Home became internal.
Location became intentional.
And that's the shift I now guide others through.
If you recognize yourself in this story, you're not alone.
