AuDHD and the Expat Path with ADHD Coach Yann Ghisalberti | Ep 54
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 .

Personal Style and Authenticity Abroad | Ep 37
Mickelle sits down with Jeanina Zgirie, a personal stylist with a unique perspective on blending fashion and place to help people evolve their personal style again and again, especially in times of transition. Originally from Romania, Jeanina shares her journey from a small town upbringing to building a career in Amsterdam, exploring how fashion became a crucial part of her self-expression. She reflects on growing up during a transitional period in Romania’s history and the role of resilience and adaptation that shaped her identity. Moving to Amsterdam was a transformative experience for Jeanina, offering her a fresh start and the freedom to reinvent herself—a journey she now helps her clients navigate as they adjust to life in a new city or chapter of their lives. Jeanina and Mickelle talk about the concept of personal style as a language, a way to tell one’s story. Jeanina explains that style should be an intentional reflection of who we are, not just a response to trends or external expectations. She shares her approach to helping clients evaluate their closets with care, keeping only pieces that reflect their true selves, and guiding them to explore local boutiques or vintage shops in Amsterdam that add layers of personality to their wardrobe. Jeanina believes in the importance of curating a closet that feels like an art gallery, encouraging people to make thoughtful choices rather than quick, unsustainable buys. As a Peregrine one’s wardrobe can reflect their cultural heritage while adapting to a new environment or lifestage. Jeanina emphasizes the power of clothing to express individuality and how she assists people in finding that balance between blending into their surroundings and standing out. She also notes Amsterdam’s diverse and expressive fashion scene, which welcomes personal creativity and experimentation. For Jeanina, styling is more than clothes; it’s about helping clients navigate their inner transformations and outwardly reflect their evolving identities.

Living Life in Multiple Currencies: How to Stay on Track with your Lifetime Financial Planning as an International | Ep 34
Rohit Nadhani, co-founder of Kubera, speaks with us today about the reasons behind starting Kubera (his 4th company) and how the platform helps global citizens manage their finances. Rohit explains that Kubera was born out of a personal need to track his complex financial portfolio, spread across various currencies and assets. Traditional financial tools, often designed for specific markets, couldn't offer the comprehensive global perspective he needed, which led him to create Kubera—a streamlined solution for tracking and managing wealth across multiple assets, currencies, and geographies. Rohit emphasizes the importance of managing wealth in different currencies, especially for those living internationally or earning in one currency while spending in another. He points out how Kubera helps individuals make smarter financial decisions by offering real-time data, focusing on security, and maintaining user privacy. Unlike other platforms that use customer data to sell financial products, Kubera follows a subscription-based model, ensuring that user data remains private. Rohit also discusses how Kubera's simplicity and user-friendly design make it accessible to anyone, from individuals with basic financial needs to those managing complex portfolios involving LLCs or trusts. Rohit created Kubera to empower global citizens to take control of their finances, providing them with a comprehensive view of their wealth, and giving them the tools to make informed decisions, especially in a world where few financial advisors have expertise in multi-currency living.

In this conversation on the House of Peregrine Podcast, Paola shares her journey with Mickelle and she talks about her love and interest in architecture and her love of museums which is what first drew her to America where she would then meet her husband. They also talked about the inspiration behind her book and how the book was something she wished she'd had when she’d first arrived in Amsterdam with her then 1 and 3 year old boys. They discussed what integration looks like when you first arrive and the priorities shift as you look to create a nurturing space for your children. They also discuss the parenting shifts that happen as an international and how we pick and choose the different elements from the childhood norms from the culture we grow up with, and the elements of the cultures we come to know, and how we mold it into something that works for us and our families. It is a beautiful conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

The book you need to write. Self Publishing and how to leave your legacy with Hannah Huber | Ep 11
In this episode, Mickelle sits down with Hannah Huber, founder of the Amsterdam Academy Press. She wrote her first book, Place , to tell her story about finding one’s home in the world while living abroad. Her upcoming book: Queens Row brings to life a historical fiction cast of characters of political royalty in 1960 as they and their country wrestle with changing expectations of motherhood, gender norms, and the bonds of love, family, and friendship. Hannah is also founder of Amsterdam Academy Press, where she brings stories to life by empowering and supporting authors on their journey to self publish. Based on her own needs, she saw a gap in the market and she’s filled it with the help of an incredible team of creatives, where together with her team, she supports her clients without the process of publishing a book and offers a wonderful alternative to traditional publishers. In this conversation, they talk about what brought Hannah to the Netherlands and her values that center around embracing different perspectives and finding joy in the differences. They talk about the difficulties of living away from where you grew up and how Hannah navigates that with her family. Hannah’s first taste of something different other than her American upbringing, was a month-long stay with a family friend in France where she was introduced to the rich culture and history. This sparked an interest and appreciation for different experiences and cultures and the young Hannah volunteered herself for a student exchange which saw her spend a year in the Netherlands at just 16. She then went on to a highschool that was known for its international exchanges where she would spend time in England and Italy. When finishing school, because of her Dutch language skills, she wrote a bold letter to the Dutch Embassy in Washington and she got a job which would ultimately lead her to her husband and living in the Nether Send us a text, we'd love to hear from you and hear what you're enjoying and what you'd like to hear about.

Welcome Home: A conversation exploring what the word means with Ines Dominguez del Corral | Ep 07
In this episode, we delve into the fascinating journey of Ines Dominguez del Corral, the creative force behind the upcoming play titled "Welcome Home." A true Peregrine, Ines was born to Colombian parents in Wales, raised in Colombia, educated in a German school, and embarked on a journey that took her through Germany, Austria, and the United States before finally settling in the Netherlands. It's a place she now calls home, and the feeling of returning to the Netherlands after being away is, for her, a visceral and emotional experience. In her conversation with Mickelle, Ines opens up about her unique life story and the circumstances that led her to the Netherlands. She also shares what inspired her to create a thought-provoking show that explores the profound concept and meaning of 'home.' For many of us in the Peregrine community, the idea of 'home' can be a fluid and evolving one, often distinct from our place of birth, upbringing, or passport country. Ines encourages us to reflect on what 'home' personally means to each of us. If you're intrigued by the idea of 'home' and the experiences of those who have traversed the globe in search of it, you won't want to miss this episode.
