Recently, a viewer asked a beautiful question: at 65 years old, will the French see her as brave for moving to their country, or just crazy?

As a therapist and long-time expat in Paris, I know this question — "Will I belong?" — is at the heart of every move abroad. In this video, I explore the complicated and honest answer.

We’ll look at the deep cultural bedrock in France that genuinely welcomes outsiders, from its diverse history to its romantic affection for the bold individual. But we’ll also confront the unspoken conditions of that welcome: the expectations around language, cultural adaptation, and contribution that are so crucial to understand.

From the legacy of Napoleon to a profoundly moving play about the immigrant experience, this is a deep dive into the real, nuanced, and often surprising experience of finding your place in France.
