She shares what she has been up to since the last time she appeared on the show: buying a car and a house, moving to a rural village, and becoming a mother of two. She explains Dutch prenatal care centered on midwives, options like home birth, and a hospital-adjacent birth house. Niana reflects on raising tri-racial Dutch children while intentionally passing on Black American culture, navigating Dutch emotional norms, career growth, aging abroad, wellness benefits of living abroad, and ongoing pride and longing for Chicago.This Episode Covers:Catching Up on the Past 6 YearsAging AbroadCareer GrowthPregnancy AbroadRaising Tri-Racial KidsPassing Down CultureWellness AbroadRepresenting America Abroad To learn more about this guest, go to their show notes page at flourishintheforeign.com/episodes Flourish in the Foreign ResourcesPodcast Website (https://www.flourishintheforeign.com)Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/flourishforeign)Join the Substack (https://christinejob.substack.com/) Episode Credits:Christine Job-Creator, Host, Producer & EditorZachary Higgs-Theme Music
