Mickelle welcomes back Alex Ingrim, founder of Liberty Atlantic, for a powerful and grounded conversation on the emotional and financial complexities of building a life abroad. Together, they explore how cross-border living is more than tax codes - it’s a full-spectrum transformation of values, identity, and wealth planning.

Alex shares insight from years of guiding Americans moving to Europe, noting a growing trend of intentional migration driven by more than wanderlust. Whether seeking political alignment, quality of life, or slower rhythms, people are uprooting—and with that comes a need to rethink their “financial backpack.” From culturally embedded tax laws to the emotional weight of money, they explore why planning early and holistically is essential.

Key Moments:

• Why Taxes Are Cultural – Understanding how local values shape tax codes (and your bottom line).
  
  
  
• The Myth of the Wealthy Expat – More families and early retirees are making the leap.
  
  
  
• Mobility with Meaning – Mapping a multi-country life that supports your values.
  
  
  
• Building Community Abroad – The emotional infrastructure needed for integration.
  
  
  
• Fellowship over Fear – Why support matters when everything is changing.

In this episode of the House of Peregrine podcast, Mickelle welcomes Dr. Rachel Cason, a therapist, writer, and fellow Third Culture Kid (TCK), whose work through Explore Life Story helps globally mobile individuals make sense of their richly layered identities. Together, they dive into what it means to grow up between cultures, how movement shapes attachment, and why telling our life story - honestly and fully - can be the most healing thing we do.

Rachel shares her journey from missionary kid in Niger to sociologist, therapist, and coach, offering deep insight into the TCK experience. She explains how her unique “Life Story” sessions allow people to integrate all their cultural selves, offering both coherence and compassion. For parents raising cross-cultural kids, Rachel gently encourages us to be present, curious witnesses - without trying to control the narrative.

Key Moments:

• What Is a Third Culture Kid? Rachel breaks down the term and how it holds meaning even in adulthood.
  
  
• Movement vs. Migration: How knowing you're not staying changes your relationship with place.
  
  
• The Power of Story: Life story work helps people reclaim authorship and connect across difference.
  
  
• Neurodivergence & TCKs: Patterns of restlessness and hyper-awareness often overlap.
  
  
• Parenting Cross-Culturally: Allow your child’s story to evolve - and hold your own with grace.
  
  
• Witnessing as Healing: Rachel describes the deep impact of being seen through life changes.
