163. Reinventing Yourself After New Beginnings or Life Transitions with Angela Vitiello
Manage episode 515175458 series 3620050
In this episode of the Life With Grief Podcast I'm joined by Angela Vitiello, founder of The Expat Parenting Collective, to explore a unique and often overlooked form of grief: the kind that comes with major life transitions and relocation.
Angela opens up about her personal journey of moving abroad, adjusting to new cultures, and navigating motherhood as an expat. She shares how the excitement of starting fresh can coexist with feelings of loss, identity shifts, and postpartum grief.
Together, we unpack:
✨ The emotional impact of moving, relocation, and expat life
✨ How to recognize and process grief that comes with change
✨ The challenges of parenting abroad and building community from scratch
✨ Ways to balance self-care, joy, and purpose while adapting to a new environment
Angela also shares how her experiences inspired her to create The Expat Parenting Collective, a platform that helps expat parents thrive—not just survive—in their new chapters.
Whether you’re navigating a big move, major life transition, or simply learning to settle into a new version of yourself, this episode offers compassionate insight, practical guidance, and gentle reminders that you’re not alone in the process.
