In this episode, Helen speaks with Colette Baar, who shares her bold decision to leave behind a 14-year life in Dubai and start fresh in Mallorca with her two teenage sons—while her husband continues to work abroad.
Colette opens up about navigating a long-distance family setup, the emotional weight of starting over mostly on her own, and the steep learning curve of helping her youngest son adjust to a new school system and cultural environment.
She reflects on the personal transformation that came from embracing uncertainty, the unexpected support she found on the island, and how Mallorca ultimately gave her a deeper sense of purpose and belonging.
This episode is a moving exploration of motherhood, identity, and what it means to create a new life—step by step—in unfamiliar territory.
