Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 3! I'm your host Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and toddler Mum, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

Today I am joined by Simone Mazloumian, Mother of 4 and Founder of Eklektik Mama in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Simone grew up as a third culture kid, moving around multiple countries before settling in the UAE when she was 10 years old. Once she had her children she decided to move back to Abu Dhabi and set up the support network that she wished she had during her pregnancies and postpartum, Eklektik Mama.

In this episode we discuss:

• Growing up as an expat, and what we can learn from her experience when bringing up our own third-culture kids
• Abu Dhabi and what it's like to live in Abu Dhabi as a family
• Maternal depression and the loneliness of expat motherhood
• Creating Eklektik Mama and the fabulous support and events that it provides the Mums of Abu Dhabi
