The TCK Training Podcast

In this episode, Elizabeth is joined by Jessi - our Director of ATCK Services and Marketing. Together, they answer a question that we often get asked: why don’t we stop talking about TCK grief? They share honest insights on why it matters to have those conversations going—even when it feels easier to focus on the positives. Enjoy their takeaways from years of unstacking grief while making sure to find the heart and humor throughout the process!

We switch things up a little bit this week, with a guest appearance from our Director of Research and International Education: Tanya! In this episode, she and Lauren dive into the reasons why as parents, caregivers, and ATCKs, we can’t just focus on the TCK benefits. They highlight the need for a balanced perspective, recognizing that both positive and negative experiences shape the TCK journey. Tune in to explore actionable steps you can take to foster long-term thriving!

Who says you need a PhD to do research-based work? This week on the podcast, Lauren and Elizabeth dismantle that myth by walking us through TCK Training’s history. They reflect on the journey from blogging to publishing books and developing resources for excellent preventive care. Stay tuned to hear their favorite things about TCK Training, and how they have carefully crafted a work environment where we walk the talk on what we teach.

After years of simmering in the back of our thoughts, the TCK Training Podcast is finally here! In this pilot episode, our executive officers, Lauren and Elizabeth, start by answering the burning question: what even is a TCK? Join them as they discuss TCKs’ unique traits, share how you can use our research for creating quality care plans, and swap stories about their lives as TCK caregivers (including a hilarious tale about what Lauren’s daughter thought her mom did for a living). Enjoy! SHOWNOTES:
