She talks about the contrast between Ethiopia, France and Norway: the climate, safety, quiet, family life, arriving in the rain, the lack of daylight in winter, and the independence her daughters have found here.
We also discuss her work in kinesiology, a practice we knew little about and which Alban tried before the recording. Magalie explains what a session involves, what she enjoys about her work, and what it means to start her business from scratch in a new country.
An episode about moving abroad, changing careers, children, emotions and fresh starts.
