Choosing a New Expat Life After a Tragedy: with Jen Zwinck, Ep. 52

Today on Dear Nina I have a guest with a personal and inspiring story to share about starting a new life with new friends and a new outlook after a horrific tragedy. This is unlike any I've heard firsthand, and I'm grateful for Jen's candor and honesty.

Jen Zwinck wrote to me:

After my husband was killed, I moved with my daughter to a small island in the Caribbean where I didn't know a single person. I went there to heal. What surprised me was the friendships that I formed while I was there, these women who came into my life, divinely, I believe, became my angels and my 'stand-in' family. We shared the bond of being expats and I'm still close with them to this day.
