In today's episode from S1E1, I will go back to my chat with Hya. Her story is about a young Filipino mom who moved to the Netherlands with her husband and toddler after he landed a job abroad. She shares her experience of adjusting to life as an expat mom in a new culture, far from family and familiar routines. Finding her footing as a parent, she opens up about the emotional and practical challenges of raising a child overseas. She also reflects on the strong support she found in the local community, embracing the saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

If you’re a Filipino parent, an expat or immigrant, part of an interracial family, or just a fellow kababayan curious about life here abroad, this kuwentuhan is something you wouldn’t want to miss!
