  S03E05 The Power of Gentle Language Support

  Aug 19, 202634 minS3

  In this episode of Real Moms Talking , I sit down with Ute, a multilingual language consultant and intercultural communication trainer at Ute‘s International Lounge, to explore what it was like to grow up between languages and cultures. Raised with Italian and German, Ute shares how her childhood shaped not only her own identity but also the way she later raised her three multilingual children and now supports other families on their multilingual journey. Together, we talk about the power of gentle language support—creating space for children to express themselves, respecting their preferences, and nurturing every language without pressure. Ute reflects on the role her parents played in fostering confidence, belonging, and connection through language, and why this approach continues to inspire her work today. Whether you’re raising multilingual children, navigating different cultures, or simply curious about the lifelong impact of language, this conversation offers thoughtful insights and plenty of encouragement.

  In this episode, we dive into Andrea’s language and cultural journey—from growing up with a heritage language that was often seen as “less than” to the complex emotions that shaped her identity. We explore how those early experiences influenced the way she saw herself and her heritage, and how becoming a mother marked the beginning of an unexpected reconnection. It’s an honest conversation about language, belonging, identity, and finding your way back.

  Jun 23, 20261h 8mS3

  What does it mean to grow up between countries, cultures, and languages? And how does that shape the way we see ourselves, connect with others, and define “home”? In this episode of Real Moms Talking, I sit down with Gaia Striano from Quiero Un Panino Con Cheese Podcast to explore her experience growing up as a Third Culture Kid. Born in Italy, Gaia spent her childhood moving between Hong Kong, Montreal, New York, and Italy, navigating different cultures, identities, and expectations along the way. Together, we talk about the joys and challenges of an international upbringing, the search for belonging, and the impact that even seemingly small things—like having your name constantly mispronounced—can have on your sense of self. Gaia shares candidly about what it felt like to grow up between worlds and how those experiences continue to influence her life today. Now a mother of three multilingual children living in Spain, Gaia offers a unique perspective on raising the next generation of global citizens while reflecting on her own journey. Whether you’re a Third Culture Kid, a parent raising children across cultures, or simply curious about identity and belonging, this conversation is full of insights, reflections, and moments that will stay with you long after listening. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: ​ Growing up as a Third Culture Kid ​ Identity, belonging, and the meaning of home ​ The emotional impact of moving between countries ​ Cultural adaptation and fitting in ​ Why names matter more than we often realize ​ Raising multilingual children as a former TCK ​ Lessons from a global childhood Connect with Gaia: @querounpaninoconcheese If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who might relate to this story.
