Expat-ish Podcast
Stories from the in-between life, shared by expats and wanderers alike.
About Expat-ish
Expat-ish is a podcast for the in-between life. Two American women who left the U.S. talk honestly about what happens after the move: the messy middles, the homesickness, the career pivots, the new loves, and the “am I the drama or is it the culture?” moments.
Hosted from the English countryside and an Italian city, Expat-ish feels like a cross–time zone call with a friend who gets it: honest, unpolished, and full of the things that never make it into relocation guides.
Who Expat-ish is for
Expat-ish is for you if:
You live outside your passport country, or you want to
You’ve moved for love, work, safety, or straight-up curiosity
You feel split between cultures, languages, or family expectations
You’re tired of glossy “move abroad and be free” narratives
You want smart, honest, sometimes spicy conversations about what this life actually costs and gives back
Meet Your Hosts
Janice is a Dominican New Yorker living in Italy, a longtime expat who has rebuilt life, work, and identity across borders more than once. She brings sharp strategy brain, Queens energy, and a deep obsession with how people create safety, money, and meaning in new countries.
Together, they hold space for the women who don’t fit the “digital nomad” cliché and are building real lives abroad, one decision and one story at a time.
Trice is a Chicago native who moved to the U.K. for love and stayed to build a life that crosses cultures, communities, and class. She brings her gift for gathering people, telling the truth with humor, and naming the things most of us only think in our heads.
What We Talk About
The themes that keep showing up in our cross-border lives, from love and money to home and who we are now
Identity & belonging
What it means to be from one place, live in another, and carry more than one story in your body.
Love, family & friendships
Cross-border relationships, dating abroad, marriage, kids, aging parents, and the people you lose or gain along the way.
The small frictions, unspoken rules, everyday joys, and weird habits we pick up to survive and belong.
Culture shocks & daily life
Work, money & visas
Careers that don’t fit a single country, the real cost of moving, and the pressure to “make it worth it.”
Home, roots & return
How “home” changes, what it means to stay, leave, or go back, and why return is rarely simple.
Loneliness, connection, finding your people, and the emotional work of holding yourself together in a new place.
Community, mental health & resilience
Listen in
For the women who live between cultures, carry two histories in one body, and reinvent themselves more times than they care to admit.
This is Expat-ish, the podcast that speaks to the messy, magical middle of global life.
Welcome Episode
Every story has a beginning, but ours starts in the middle — that in-between space where global women actually live. In this first episode, Trice and Janice open the doors to Expat-ish: a podcast about identity, culture, reinvention, and all the ways belonging gets complicated when “home” isn’t a single place anymore.
A grounded, honest introduction to the conversations that shape this community.

The Holiday's Episode
The holidays hit different when you live between cultures. In this episode, Trice and Janice unpack the emotional mashup of December: nostalgia, identity whiplash, and the strange comfort of reinventing traditions far from where they started.
A conversation for anyone whose holiday season feels like a cultural remix.
