Whether you love it or hate it, Emily in Paris is living her best Expat Immigrant life and we, your favourite Expat Immigrant sisters are here for it!

Hi everyone! As we take our first steps into the new year, we reflect on the things we want to do, and achieve for 2023. New Year, New Moi as it were.  Or maybe even same moi but as with Kat’s theme song for the year, we plan to, ‘Level Up’! We’re talking, vision boards, therapy, coaching, travel, creativity, all that good stuff! How are you approaching 2023? Do you feel excited for the New Year?...

Once again we’ve managed to record an episode on a very special day indeed! Kat’s Birthday!! We had a lot to get done so it’s a shorter episode this week. We were a little rushed as we had some guests coming over to help celebrate with us! However, we did get through a lot! In this episode we discuss our plans to go to the theatre that afternoon to see, ‘& Juliette’ (which by the way is an inc...

In this episode we cast our minds back to many moons ago where we each had a year abroad as part of our University courses. Kat went to France and Nat went to Spain. These were really defining moments of our lives which we look back on with incredible fondness and we’re so happy to share some stories with you! Big shout out and love to our friends that we made during this time who are still so spe...

You’re all talking about it so we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and watch Married at First Sight UK (Season 7 airing in the UK on E4). As usual (comme d’habitude), we’ve watched the first 3 episodes of the series before sitting down to discuss it and to let you know our thoughts thus far.  We are definitely behind everyone else, so some themes and issues may have been resolved (or even worsen...

Recorded on our holiday back to the UK over the Summer of 2022, we chat about the great yet undervalued game that is Netball and women in sport in general.   We share about the new parts of the UK that we have finally discovered (Nat went to a wedding in The Wirral!!) and the benefits of travelling by coach. Nat also talks about her experience going into London with Boy Boy to get his very first h...

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new episode of Expat Immigrant podcast! Recorded back in March 2022, in this episode we talk about household chores and who the responsibility lies with, using the ‘je suis anglaise’ line to get out of trouble – have you ever done that?

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Expat Immigrant Podcast!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Expat Immigrant Podcast! Here is the second of the 3 episodes recorded last year in 2021 that never got the upload that it deserved!

English lads, you might want to close...

As always...

We recorded this episode a few weeks ago, but felt it was too rough around the edges to release.  The sound quality dips in places and we remained far too long on the subject of Julie Andrews!  We also didn't do our usual goodbyes (no bonne continuation from us) - so it's a bit of a hodgepodge of an episode to say the least! However there are some gems and some laugh out loud moments and upon refl...

Trigger Warning - Subjects of abusive relationships and cohersive control. We had something completely different planned for this episode, however like usual, a tangent took us onto Blue Therapy and we ran with it! Blue Therapy, if you don't know, is a youtube series following two couples in therapy. It was trending on twitter and has been highly discussed all over the internet - we watched 3 epis...
