Belonging Project Podcast

In this episode, we talk about starting a business with your spouse, the challenges of all the multiple hats freelancers have to wear, moving abroad multiple times and working across culture.

Our guest is Dominique, co-founder of The Werks and we had so much fun talking!

Do you know that feeling when you start something new? I really loved Dominique's take on this: there are indeed many similarities to how moving abroad feels like, or even speaking a new language. Do you agree?

Let us know in the comments section.
