Parenting Unpacked: This is not a relocation manual

What if a parenting book didn’t try to fix you, but sat beside you in the mess?

If you’re raising kids far from home, Parenting Unpacked is the companion you didn’t know you needed. It isn’t a checklist. It isn’t a survival manual. It’s an emotional map built from raw, real stories of parents navigating identity, loss, love, and resilience across borders.

This book carries more than stories of parenting abroad. It holds truths rarely spoken, the ones that live in the silence between belonging and rupture, in the quiet work of rebuilding.

“Sometimes the bravest thing a parent abroad can do is admit they’re not fine—and still keep going.”

Written by an expat mother who knows the chaos of diaper aisles in unfamiliar supermarkets and the ache of parenting in a language that isn’t yours, this book is part confessional, part connection. It’s for the moments when the ground shifts and you still have to show up, napless and brave.

🌍 Coming in the first half of 2026.

  • this is a very well-done book. Direct and engaging, with an enthusiastic narratorial voice that seems natural and not contrived.

  • Book 1 (Maternity Abroad) was already very informative and we believe that book 2 follows a natural timeline by showing some of the challenges that parents might face when parenting abroad. There’s no doubt that parenting is one of the most difficult—and at the same time most rewarding—jobs one can have and adding the extra challenge of living abroad might feel lonely or even scarier sometimes, and that’s why books like yours are so important. They provide a sense of community and partnership among readers, and we’re sure it will make the lives of many parents easier.

  • It also made me want to go back to certain section and take in the information anew. I finished my read feeling not just hopeful and energized, but more prepared, if that makes sense?
