In this episode, I speak with Claire, an English barrister based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Claire has global mobility in her blood, as the daughter of an extremely adventurous mother (also a potential spy!) and a father in the British Army, she lived all over Europe as a child. Claire talks about the itch her and her husband felt that triggered their move from London to KL at the height of COVID and the challenges she has faced careerwise after 20+ years in criminal law in the UK. Claire shares stories about the volunteer work she has been doing as well as giving some of the best advice I've heard in regards to the trailing spouse experience.
