It's been 10 years since I wrote Moving Without Shaking, a book for women expats about studying, working and living abroad. Now, I'm excited to announce that Diana M. and I are teaming up to create a Moving Without Shaking podcast. Diana is actually one of the people in the book, my good friend and a former colleague.

We will be talking to people who moved abroad for work at corporates and startups as well as entrepreneurs. If you have a story to share, we would love to interview you on our podcast!

And if you're interested in sponsoring our podcast, please get in touch! We can't wait to connect with our audience.

My book is to download on next week, Monday through Friday, so I asked ChatGPT to help me promote it in verse 😀

In the game of life, women expats face a unique test,
Living in foreign lands, where they must adapt and adjust.
But what sets them apart is how they handle stress,
Moving without shaking, with grace and finesse.

In "Moving Without Shaking", they learn from those who know,
The secrets to success that make their progress flow.
They plan, they prepare, they keep a level head,
And when obstacles arise, they're ready to move ahead.

It's not just luck or talent that makes the difference here,
It's the resilience and determination that are crystal clear.
No matter what the circumstance, they stay focused on their goal,
And move without shaking towards the success they've come to know.

So if you're a woman expat feeling overwhelmed or afraid,
Remember that there's always a way to move without shaking.
With perseverance, grit and a positive attitude,
You too can overcome the challenges and rise up to your aptitude.

In "Moving Without Shaking", women expats find inspiration and hope,
And the courage to take risks and learn how to cope.
It's a reminder that success is within their reach,
If they stay true to themselves and the lessons they teach.

Summer project: translating my book for expat women into Ukrainian. As most self published authors, I didn’t invest into translations when first releasing it. I happen to have time to tackle the project myself this summer.
Relocating abroad willingly is very different than having to escape the horrors of the war, but will the same principles of making the best of your life abroad apply? Will it help someone?
Working title of the Ukrainian version is Вдалий Хід (translated back into English this means Lucky Move). What do you think?
