S01E01 Moving to France: The Reality of Starting Over After 45
"It’s not just about a new house; it’s about who you become in a new country." 🌻
Guest(s): Joanne Halligan
In this very first episode of the Sunflowers Podcast, host Jane Anderson introduces the heart behind the show: sharing the untold stories of women who have taken the brave decision to start a new life abroad.
Jane is joined by her first guest Joanne to discuss the raw, honest, and often funny reality of moving to France. From the initial “leap of faith” to the challenges of the French language and the vital importance of building a new community from scratch. This episode is a warm invitation to anyone who has ever dreamed of a fresh start, proving that while you can’t know exactly what to expect until you do it, you don’t have to do it alone.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The mission behind the Sunflowers Podcast: Connecting women through shared experiences.
- The emotional journey of leaving the familiar behind.
- Practical insights on integration and the “small wins” in daily French life.
- Why building a community is the most important part of your new adventure.
