Welcome to the inaugural episode of our podcast, where we explore the beautiful complexities of parenting, education, and the intertwining of cultures! Get to know us in this episode — Rachel, a Malaysian Chinese, and British educator, Paul — and how we're still navigating the joys and challenges of raising two children born in China. With a background steeped in international education, Paul brings over 30 years of experience as a founding principal and headmaster of schools across six countries.

In this episode, we share our personal stories, from how we met and fell in love across cultures to our unique parenting journey as a mixed-culture family. We’ also touch on the realities of raising third-culture kids, and some of the fascinating dynamics of blending Eastern and Western values in our home.
