Interesting and worth a look-see. At the same time(and honestly I dont know the book yet) I am hoping for more non-western TCK stories!

The first Spanish-language adaptation of acclaimed author and Adult Isabel Allende's novel will be released as an eight-part miniseries on Amazon Prime on April 29.

This matters! It is nearly impossible to address issues you cannot see, or impacts you cannot name.

Personally, I love the coaching, consulting and transition debriefing that I do. At the same time, illuminating new concepts and practical solutions to enhance and address the challenges of Third Culture life is ALSO dynamic and exciting.

The Highly Sensitive TCK Workshop is just 3 weeks away!!

Participants from East Africa, the US, Canada, Spain, and South America are signed up and will make the experience even more rich. Of course, many are adult TCKs (ATCKs) and are 'from' a multitude of places and cultures.

YOUR PLACE is still open for this cutting edge training experience. Caring well for individuals, families, and children has never been so vital.

Sensory Processing Sensitivity, (SPS) is a genetic trait in approximately 1-in-3 people-- and Third Culture and Cross Culture Kids are no different. However, the IMPACT of being a Highly Sensitive Person AND a T/CCK, even given the difference in the range and expression of the trait, is multiplied. HSTCK is often a hidden gift and can cause hidden challenges.

Michael V Po***ck (TCK Educator, Author, Coach and Consultant) has teamed up with Lagarrigue (International Therapist and PhD candidate in the field of SPS and HSP) to bring you a one-of-a-kind learning opportunity.

Below is a basic introduction to the world of HSTCKs and an INVITATION to join us for this cutting edge workshop. Can't wait to learn together!

There are many amazing ATCK artists, for instance, Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose who grew up in CA, USA, France and Belgium. (Amazing music!) Now there's Naïka; she grew up between Haiti, Madagascar, Kenya, South Africa...you get the picture. Her hit, "Layers" is make waves globally, connecting with TCKs everywhere, and creating a second wave of TikTokers lip synching the lyrics that speak for them. What do you think of it?

(Cool Fact: her lyrics will appear in the 4th Edition of the TCK Book- Growing Up Among Worlds!!)
