Episode 2: On the podcast this week, Megan and Taylor debrief Taylor’s last weeks in America, what it looks like to pack and move a family of five across the globe, what a 250-person going-away party looks like, and all the housing logistics of owning a house in one country and renting one in another. They also reminisce on how they first met through the swim team (shout out to Nantucket Express!), how their first jobs were possibly the peak of their lives, and talk about the nuance of having a career (or not!) and how it plays into our identity.
