Do Third Culture Kids (TCKs) Lack Identity? | Summer Special

Part of the House of Peregrine Summer Series — shorter clips drawn from our favourite episodes, for those in-between moments when you want wisdom without the full sit-down.

In this clip, Third Culture Kid turned therapist and writer Dr. Rachel Cason explores what it means to grow up between worlds — and the quiet, lifelong work of making sense of who we become. Mickelle and Rachel unpack why so many globally shaped people carry a sense of being different wherever they go, and how telling your own story, on your own terms, can turn that ache into something whole.

In this episode:

Why introducing yourself is never simple when your identity spans multiple cultures
The loneliness of "pruning" pieces of yourself so others can understand you
How naming everything you hold — precisely — is what lets you truly connect with others
Why the answer to "I don't know who I am" is often too much self, not too little

Dr. Rachel Cason is a therapist, writer, and author of Incredible Lives and The Courage to Live Them. Find her work and podcast online.
