In this deeply personal episode, Josh and Hannah sit down late at night in their tiny apartment in Japan to talk honestly about the real reason their family moved overseas for a year.
What started as an opportunity to teach abroad slowly became something much bigger — a response to burnout, mental exhaustion, and the growing realisation that something needed to change.
Together they unpack:
- what burnout actually looked like behind closed doors,
- the emotional weight of making a huge decision for a young family,
- parenting children through uncertainty and homesickness,
- the realities of starting again in another country,
- and why they still believe the experience has been worth it.
This episode is not about teaching being uniquely difficult, nor is it an attempt to romanticise moving overseas as the answer to burnout. It’s simply an honest conversation about mental health, family, vulnerability, and what can happen when people choose to support each other through a hard season of life.
There are moments in this episode that feel heavy, reflective, funny, hopeful and raw — which probably makes it one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far.
If this episode resonates with you, we’d love for you to share it with someone else who might need it.
