About this listen
What should you mentally prepare for before moving to Japan? In this solo episode, I share the mindset shifts and hard truths I wish I understood before coming to Japan 14 years ago. This isn't about packing lists—it's about navigating language barriers, finding your identity as a foreigner, decoding Japanese politeness, managing mental health, and figuring out complex systems like hospitals and Hanko stamps.Whether you're planning a move, already living in Japan, or simply curious about expat life, this episode offers a genuine look at what it takes to build a life here long-term mentally.
🧊 Bonus tip: I also talk about the coolest way to survive Japan's brutal summer heat—literally.
