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 House of Peregrine, Mickelle welcomes Jen Barnett, co-founder of Expatsi, a company helping Americans move abroad with clarity, confidence, and heart. Jen shares her journey from Alabama to Mérida, Mexico - a move sparked by values, political shifts, and the need for a gentler, more aligned life. What began as a quiet cabin retreat with her husband evolved into Expatsi: a thriving platform guiding thousands toward life abroad.

Jen reflects on her early dream of living overseas, how a simple quiz she created during the pandemic turned into a viral success, and why choosing where to live is also about choosing how to live. Through Expatsi, she now leads scouting trips, offers one-on-one guidance, and hosts a supportive Facebook group and annual conference - all anchored in a six-step framework: ideation, planning, exploration, paperwork, logistics, and settling in.

Mickelle and Jen explore the emotional layers of expatriation - privilege, purpose, and finding home by design, not default. Jen reminds us that a soft landing and community can reset more than your location - it can transform your whole life.

Key Moments:

– Jen’s “put your purse down” philosophy for a calm, intentional move

– The viral quiz that launched Expatsi

– Vibes over visuals: how to feel your potential new city

– Why relocating is both emotional and logistical

– Expatsi’s six-stage path to life abroad

– Building community before you even land

In this episode, Mickelle welcomes Melissa and Chris Bruntlett - urban storytellers, authors, and advocates for human-centered cities. Together, they unpack how a bold decision to ditch their car in Vancouver sparked a global journey toward urban vitality.

From the Dutch resistance to car-centric planning to their upcoming book on women-led urban transformation, they explore how storytelling and empathy can spark cultural shifts in urban design.

Yann Ghisalberti is a French expat and ADHD coach who works with teens and adults in both English and French. Founder of Coach 4 ADHD, Yann shares his deeply personal journey from IT specialist to ADHD coach, shaped by the challenges of expat life, late-in-life neurodivergent diagnoses, and a drive to help others thrive beyond survival mode.

We talk about the effect of living in survival mode for decades and how discovering one’s neurotype can be both a reckoning and a relief. We explore the difference between therapy and coaching, the role of fear in managing impulsivity, and the power of moving from coping to thriving. With elegant clarity, Yann explains how many of his international clients are high-achieving, resilient, and masking deeply ingrained struggles—until the tools that once worked stop working.

Yann’s Story:

• From Tech Industry to ADHD Coach – Yann’s career shift was sparked by burnout, a search for purpose, and the discovery of his own neurodivergence.
  
  
  
• The Often Hidden Side of High Achievement – Many expats operate in constant survival mode, masking ADHD with resilience and fear-driven focus.
  
  
  
• Anxiety As A Strategy – Yann shares how anxiety became his strategy for control—until it no longer served him.
  
  
  
• The lived AuDHD Experience – Yann describes the internal tension of having both ADHD and autism, and how each side can both help and hinder.
  
  
  
• Coaching vs. Therapy – Therapy helps make sense of the past, but coaching helps create forward motion—both are vital.
  
  
  
• The Iceberg Metaphor – Clients arrive with a problem, but true transformation begins when the hidden layers are revealed.
  
  
  

Yann offers one-on-one coaching to teens and adults in English and French, both online and in person. You can book a free 30-minute intake session at coach4adhd.nl.
