Beyond the Podcast: What HOP is building for Life Abroad

The four core pillars of the HOP Podcast are: Parenting, Relationships, Finance, and Meaning-Making—Mickelle offers a rich reflection on how international life demands more of us emotionally, practically, and spiritually, and how the HOP podcast holds space and provides wisdom for that journey.

Mickelle also shares an exciting update: behind the scenes, the HOP Labs team has been building out the tech infrastructure to support life abroad in more connected and sustainable ways.
