This is your space. A place where we walk together—across continents, cities, and new beginnings. Where deep conversations replace small talk. Where support, clarity, and connection meet.
Here, you’ll find upcoming in-person and online events designed to inspire, empower, and give you the tools to take back your power.
Whether you join us for a coffee morning that fuels your soul or a workshop that sparks real transformation, every event is created with intention—to remind you that you are never alone in this journey.

What's Happening?
REFILL & REcharge
Coffee, Connection and Community
Every second Tuesday of the month, I host a coffee morning called Refill & Recharge—and I’d love for you to join. It’s a space for real expat conversations, genuine connection, and a chance to simply be.
No small talk. No pressure. No need to have it all figured out. Just a welcoming room full of people who understand the highs and lows of starting over in a new place.
We gather to refill our cups—with good coffee, open conversations, and honest moments.
And we leave feeling recharged—with more clarity, calm, and community. If you’re an expat in Beirut, you don’t want to miss this.
Looking forward to seeing you there 💛

I’m glad you found me!
Maybe you’ve just unpacked your last box in yet another unfamiliar city, staring at the walls of a house that still doesn’t feel like home. Or perhaps you’ve been on this journey for years, expertly coordinating moves, navigating new cultures, and supporting your partner’s career—yet wondering where you fit into the picture.
You’ve asked yourself:
● “Who am I outside of this role?”

You’re in the right place!
