What happens when a family uproots their life and moves to a new country, only to find more warmth and support than they ever expected? That's our story as we kick off season two of the "2am Club" podcast! Relocate with us to Fürth, Germany, and listen to how we navigated the maze of finding a suitable nursery for our son. Forget those horror stories about long waiting lists and unhelpful systems; our experience was filled with pleasant surprises and genuine community support that made our transition seamless. Our baby bunny joins us too, making this episode extra special and heartwarming.
Imagine finding a new home that feels right from the very first video tour. We take you through our journey of discovering a charming house near Nuremberg, defying our initial hesitations and doubts. Persistently searching and trusting our instincts led us to a place that not only met our needs but exceeded our hopes. We talk about the delightful contrasts between our welcoming new community in Fürth and past experiences in Nuremberg. This move has had a profoundly positive impact on our son's well-being and our overall sense of belonging, transforming the way we view home and community.
Lastly, join us as we explore the cultural nuances of life in Germany, from the differences in self-criticism and praise to the efficiency and affordability of the healthcare system. We also discuss the universal issue of safety perceptions and how our preconceptions were proven wrong. Parenting through this move posed its own set of challenges, yet our child quickly adapted once familiar belongings arrived. We touch on teaching life skills, sleep patterns, and outdoor activities, while also previewing what's to come this season, including vital discussions on women's health. Embrace the everyday chaos of raising a toddler with us, as we share the joys and hurdles of our new adventure.
