Finding Success as a Trailing Spouse Podcast
Show Notes

Many people dream of living and working abroad. As a family, however, it can be a bit more complicated as relocating abroad generally requires an accompanying spouse to leave behind their own job or role in order to join their partner & relocate their family overseas.
 
In this podcast, we chat with a few RPCVs who have found success in different ways as trailing spouses after their partners accepted an overseas opportunity.  Our guests review advantages, fears, and how impactful working overseas as a trailing spouse has benefited and effected their family. 
 
Guests include:

  • Bina Contreras (RPCV Uganda) is a Productivity Consultant and former staff at Peace Corps headquarters, who relocated with her spouse and family in 2018 to Samoa and Vanuatu for an international Peace Corps staff employment opportunity.
  • Cathy Blumhorst (RPCV Guatemala,'88-'91) is a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner  and seasoned representative of the can-do attitude at living and working abroad during multiple international living experiences in relocating with her spouse for work.
