## Resource

Why do some third culture kids come through a cross-cultural childhood resilient and rooted, while others quietly struggle to feel like they belong anywhere? Author and coach Anna Danforth has spent years studying exactly that question, and in this episode she joins Amy and Bernie to talk about the answer she landed on: support — specifically, seven kinds of it. Drawing from her new book, Nourished: Third Culture Kids and the Village They Need , Anna breaks down the seven essential supports that separate surviving from flourishing, and gives parents, leaders, and caring adults concrete ways to show up for the TCKs in their lives. 📚 Nourished: Third Culture Kids and the Village They Need on Amazon 🌐 Anna Danforth website ⚒️ Nourished Simulator Tool 🎯 TCK Training Safe Space Responses 🎧 Other episodes with Anna on the podcast: When Grief is Unrecognized: Disenfranchised Grief with Anna Danforth ( here ) Eight Experiences to Build Resilience in Third Culture Kids (TCKs) with Anna Danforth ( here ) How to Communicate Change in Cross-Cultural Work to Supporters with Anna Danforth ( here ) Global Trellis: The Podcast Join Insiders
