This is the follow-on podcast from "Transcontinental Overload".

Everyone faces tough times. Some are chosen, others are forced upon us. What matters most is how we respond.


This podcast is about real people who have faced real challenges — setbacks, obstacles, loss, or life-altering changes, such as a move abroad — and found a way forward. Each episode dives into a personal story of resilience, courage, and sometimes transformation. My guests share what they went through, what shifted their mindset, and how they learned not just to survive, but to grow.

If you’ve ever wondered how others manage to rise from difficult moments with new strength and perspective, this is the space for you. Honest conversations. Practical wisdom. Hope for the journey ahead.


I'm Stephanie, and I love talking to people and hearing their stories. Moving on from my old podcast, "Transcontinental Overload", where I talked to guests about their experiences of moving and living abroad, I'm expanding my focus to include those who haven't moved countries. After all, life's challenges hit us all sooner or later, whether we've stayed in one country or not.

Join me as we uncover what it truly means to overcome, and how the toughest moments can sometimes open the door to the strongest versions of ourselves.

    We have a special treat today: Megan from the UK is taking us on the Camino de Santiago!

    After working on cruise ships and then briefly back in England, Megan decided to head down to Portugal to walk the Camino - all by herself. To get clarity, to experience being alone, to test her limits.

    If you've ever thought about walking the Camino yourself, or if you've never heard of it, this is the episode for you. Enjoy!

    You can find out more about Meg and her language-coaching business, Mega Language Coach, on her website, or find her on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
