When Jordan heads back to the U.S. for a work conference, Sophie is left holding down the fort in France—and almost immediately, the week spirals into total chaos. A planned support system falls through, illness hits the house, the logistics of solo parenting pile up, and even Jordan’s return home turns into a multi-day travel nightmare. What starts as a string of unfortunate (and eventually laughable) events opens the door to a much deeper conversation.

As Sophie navigates life on the ground in France and Jordan slips back into the rhythms, comforts, and contradictions of being in the U.S., they’re both confronted with a familiar but rarely discussed truth of living abroad: your heart doesn’t neatly relocate when you move countries. In this episode, they talk candidly about what it means to miss home while loving the life you’ve built somewhere else, the emotional whiplash of moving between cultures, and the quiet reality that your heart can belong to two places at once. If you’ve ever moved far from home, lived abroad, or wondered whether missing one place means you chose the wrong one, this conversation is for you.
