The Taking Route Community is growing and we are so happy to see more and more women from around the world connecting and encouraging each other as we all learn to thrive right where we are planted. With that growth comes the need to reevaluate what brings life as we juggle connection online and feeding our multitudes of children. (So.Many.Children.) Doing this podcast is a lot of fun, and brings life, but arranging interviews with differing time zones and sketchy internet is a little less fun. In the hopes of 2021 being the year of less stress, we have decided to change the podcast format to less interviews and more tea time conversations. For each episode, we’ll pick a topic, dissect it, share our perspectives, and what we’ve learned through our experiences as expats. We really value different voices so we aren’t doing away with interviews altogether. We’ll be doing those via a new format (more details coming soon!) For now, this podcast will be the three of us: Denise, Melissa, and Alicia — hence the new podcast name! 

In this episode we reintroduce ourselves for the benefit of any new listeners and share more about what you can expect in the episodes to come. We’re excited about this new format and hope you enjoy!
