Dear <<First Name>>,

I went to the ballet. They showed Nutcracker and Mouseking. If you know the story of the nutcracker you might be able to relate to his feeling. He is a prince trapped in a wooden statue. Maybe you feel more like "Aschenbroedel"? A princess trapped in a gray suit who sorts out the beans or the dollars on a spreadsheet organizes invoices, people, and family members. This Aschenbroedel might rush to get the house clean and ready for the holidays and when she thinks she can relax one of her friends calls to cry on her shoulder.
And Aschenbroedel feels that she will never waltz at the ball in a beautiful gown, because she has to "work hard", "deserve it", "function", "perform" and look "amazing". Or if you tend to be more of a Nutcracker in this story, you might just feel "trapped" in lifestyle obligations, mortgages, and financial burdens (not to mention rising oil prices,)

You are well-traveled and fascinated by traveling outside the shores of your country. You want to have the bubbly (gin and tonic or champagne) experience. You thought your experience would be like the adventure that you had on your previous vacation trips.

Your first day in the foreign land was laden with a lot of exuberance and effervescence. But you had barely spent one month before all your hopes disappeared into the thin air.  Now, the only rhetorical question you keep asking yourself is “Can I get relief from being trapped in this figure, please?” or "Where is that prince in shiny armor that will find a shoe that only fits me? When will I be invited to dance at the ball?".

There are many moments when you feel overwhelmed and frustrated that you can’t do it all.  

Your days are busy. Sometimes you leave work at the end of the week feeling unfulfilled, longing for a sense of purpose.

Sometimes you lie in bed missing your parents, friends, and loved ones so much that you often wonder if this was all a big mistake. 

This does not have to be your story or case. I want to help you gain control of your life and live with a sense of purpose again. If you are feeling frustrated, crave a sense of purpose, or wish you'd do more to make the most of your life, we have the answer you have been looking for.

Our programs address, head-on, the biggest challenges that globally mobile individuals face, it is based on methods tested for over a decade with individuals just like you.

We teach you powerful strategies to give you immediate relief to your immediate challenges and help you take over the driver’s seat of your life’s vehicle. All of this, in short, easy-to-apply lessons - right when you need it. It has everything you need to:

● Develop and keep the right mindset to cherish your experience abroad

● Identify your purpose abroad (beyond work or the family)

● Stop letting stress get between you and the ones you care for

● Feel close to loved ones, even if they are thousands of miles (or kilometers) away

Imagine a life where you feel in control and spend your time and energy on things that resonate with your higher self.

● You are taking real steps to reduce the strains of your life abroad

● You have your confidence back

● You feel competent in your intercultural interactions

● You are fueled by a sense of purpose

● You have a community of people who understood you, and whom you could rely on for support

You can start today and then rise from the physical and mental exhaustion in which circumstances have kept you. Yes, you can rise to a new life of purpose and relevance.

I am not just going to propose some hypothetical ideas, but time-tested, hands-on ideas that would immediately get you back on track. Having lived abroad and moved several times in my life, I had to deal with adapting to a different intercultural climate myself. I have been able to weather even the most complex challenges and it would be my pleasure to take you by the hand and help you navigate this new terrain.

If you want to make some important changes, anywhere from feeling less overwhelmed, finding purpose, or creating better connections with your loved ones from afar, book a meeting with me here. I want to learn more about you and the challenges you are currently facing. In 2023, I have the capacity to work with up to 10 private clients right now. 

We will be back in the office on 10 January 2023. Until then, my team and I wish you and your "families" (whatever that means for you) happy holidays and a happy new year full of health, love, energy, and purpose. We wish you the best life ever.

AND IF YOU FEEL LOW, LONELY OR JUST NEED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON PLEASE CALL +41791922877. We care about you <<First Name>>.

Lots of love,

Angie and Team

My parents were hippies and named me after Angela Davis and when I don’t blowdry my hair I could almost have a frizz like her, but my skin is white and I have a German passport. My last name sounds Jewish and many suitcases in the concentration camp in Auschwitz reminded me years ago that my family could have suffered from the Nazis. However, they were Roman Catholics. Not wine-makers as one might assume, just traders and my other grandfather made shoes. My grandmother was a working woman after the second world war. A mother of many. My parents moved away from home to follow their hippie-dream and help underprivileged children. Guess what? That might have made me the person that I am today. In grade seven I wrote my first short story that was actually published in an anthology. I wrote a play and wanted to become a writer/actress. Because I’m good with human relationships I ended up in Human Resources and became an interculturalists and an Expat Coach for people like Heidi and Govind and their children Anya and Anush who speak Hindi, Swiss-German, and English as native languages.

 

On weekdays, I’m on a mission to bring the Human Touch back into Global Mobility. On Saturdays I tend to my container garden, eat Chicken Tikka Masala with my Kashmiri and on Sundays, I dabble in creative writing as my evil twin sister Vivienne M. Sharma.

 

I work as a Career Coach, Expat Helpline, and would like to become the Yoda of Global Mobility. I started my company with my only real asset, a metallic-blue AUDI A4, a decade ago. Besides sitting in airport lounges and sipping on a Bombay Sapphire and Tonic, I dream of living in a hotel suite. My journey led me to work in Germany, the UK, Australia, India and Switzerland and I’m hoping to travel the world as a DIGITAL NOMAD when I grow up. 

 

You would not believe that I was at Madonna’s first concert in Germany, saw Freddie Mercury on stage, had a crush on Simon LeBon and Morten Harket, and to date cannot forget Paul Young’s voice live. I was also once asked in a club in Cochin if I was a professional (Bollywood dancer).
