Visibility Without Losing Your Soul Abroad | Claire Naughton | Ep 095

<p>When does moving abroad stop feeling like something to prove and start feeling like home? For Claire Naughton, that answer is still unfolding. Eight years into life in France,  a path that wound through New Zealand, South America, and a chance meeting in Peru,  she joins Mickelle to talk about building a business, and a self, in a country that isn&#39;t quite yours.</p><p>Claire calls herself a &quot;freestyling marketer,&quot; helping international service-business owners stay visible without losing their soul. The conversation moves from marketing into something deeper: the quiet ache of never fully belonging, the impermanence woven through expat life, and why your intuition matters most when it feels furthest away.</p><p>In this episode:</p><ul><li><p>Why comparison hits harder when you&#39;re building in a foreign country</p></li><li><p>What &quot;freestyling&quot; marketing really means and why writing still wins</p></li><li><p>Using AI without flattening your voice or your humanity</p></li><li><p>Belonging, acceptance, and the myth of &quot;arriving&quot; in France</p></li><li><p>Moving abroad for love: you marry the person, and the country</p></li><li><p>Bringing your whole self, motherhood included, to the work</p></li></ul><p>Connect with Claire — her travel blog The Millennial Abroad, plus Instagram and LinkedIn — all linked at<a href="https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-095"> <u>https://www.houseofperegrine.com/podcast/ep-095</u></a>.</p><p>House of Peregrine is the network for International life, made by and for people living abroad.  </p><p>Get started with a FREE account today to unlock exclusive content, connections, and opportunities:</p><p><a href="http://houseofperegrine.com/auth/signup"><u>houseofperegrine.com/auth/signup</u></a></p><p>Join a global circle of thinkers, creators, and doers.
