Victoria Mintey's three S's for introducing yourself in a new place:

⭐ Self: work with your nerves, not against them
⭐ Structure: lead with your values, not your title
⭐ Say it: engaged, not performed

Join us for in the Lab. for more tips on breaking the three S’s down to turn nerves into a narrative that serve you.

Overwhelm rarely arrives all at once. It builds up, one commitment at a time.

In episode 28, Too Available, Emma and Jo get honest about too many meetings, not enough breaks, and what a colour coded calendar revealed.

Little changes can make a big difference. Your calendar could be a good place to start.

Out now, wherever you get your podcasts.

What counts as progress when your life is shaped by moving?

That was the question at the heart of the session, Grow anywhere: rebuilding identity and career in the in-between, our co-founders Jo Palmer and Emma Humann presented at International Military Spouse Employment Summit 2026.

It wasn't a session about finding the next job. It was about the in-between: the stretch after a move when your career is on hold but your life very much isn't. For some people it lasts 18 months, for others it's 18 years, and it comes back with every posting.

One idea we keep coming back to is that the work partners do in the in-between is real work. Setting up a household in a new country, navigating schools, health, housing and visas, and building community from zero. That's project management under pressure, cross-cultural fluency and leadership. It just rarely gets counted.

Thank you to IMSES 2026 organisers and to everyone who joined us online.

On the first Wednesday of the month, ellora. members in Singapore and Bangkok get together over coffee.

No panels, no pitching, just professionally focused people who'd otherwise only know each other as a name on a screen. Some of the best conversations, ideas and insights happen when you're not trying to network.

Our second Singapore meet-up just wrapped, thanks to for backing us.

Racing heart. Shaky voice. Mind gone blank halfway through "So, what brings you here?"

Nerves have a way of showing up just when you most need to make a good first impression. Victoria Mintey, is an actor who still feels them before every audition, and she’s our expert in the ellora. Lab. this month.

For her session “Nerves to Narrative”, Victoria will talk to members about what's happening in your body when you’re nervous, why it's completely normal, and how to turn that energy into something that works for you.

Members can join this session live or see it on demand at any time. Not a member yet? Link in bio.

You can find any version of the truth online. The trick is choosing which one to trust.

In episode 27, New Normal, Jo walks knee-deep through Bangkok floodwater thinking it's just rainy season. Emma realises her first impression of Singapore was anything but typical.

When everything is new, how do you know what's normal? You trust your gut and do what feels right for your family.

"Making the best of it." One phrase, two completely different meanings.

At first, it meant getting by. Now it means going all in on a new place and everything it has to offer.

Thank you to the member who shared this at our peer-to-peer mentoring this week. 🤍

Our expert gave members a deceptively simple exercise in her Lab. Writing your story: finish the line, “Many people think being an accompanying partner is…, but I know that…”

Our members stepped up to the challenge:
⭐ One wrote about strength, the discipline of choosing your battles and communicating your own boundaries clearly, even while making space for someone else's needs.

⭐ Another compared their situation to the partners of well known public figures, people whose biography can't be written without mentioning their spouse, when the reverse isn't true, defined in relation to someone else, and not always by choice.

⭐ A third flipped the whole idea, not stepping back to support a partner's success, but stepping up, taking on things that were once shared, saying yes to things you wouldn't usually.

Everyone in that room was living some version of the same experience, and writing something completely different. What would your version of that sentence be?

Where do you picture growing old? Back where your passport is, or somewhere else entirely? Jo has a plan, and it involves tiny houses and a girl gang 🏡
