About the show

Stories for anyone living between worlds.

Expat-ish is a podcast about identity shifts, cultural friction, and the quiet reinvention that happens when you live across cultures. Some episodes are funny, some are tender, most are both. No glossy expat fantasy, just honest conversation and sharp observation.

Identity + belonging

Naming what changes when you change countries, language, and context.

Real stories, no cosplay

The messy middle. Not the highlight reel. Not the “perfect expat life.”

Cultural friction, decoded

The moments that make you question yourself, and what they’re really about.

Start here, stay awhile

Hosts

Meet the hosts.

Expat-ish is hosted by Janice Diaz and Trice Turner, two Americans living abroad who tell the truth about cultural friction, identity shifts, and building a life between worlds. Some episodes are funny. Some are tender. Most are both.

Sharp storytelling

We name what people feel but don’t know how to say.

Cultural realism

No expat fantasy. No influencer gloss. Just the real emotional math.

Identity + belonging

We talk about what changes when your context changes.

Conversation over conclusions

We don’t rush stories to resolution. Some truths are unfinished.
