Essential Agreements For Couples Abroad | Ep 66

Mickelle shares a pivotal moment from her TEDx talk, Can Blockchain Be Used to Decode the Future of Economics? A story that begins in a bank while getting a mortgage and unfolds into a raw realization about the value we create in relationships.

She invites listeners to reflect on the often-invisible labor that the entire world economy runs on most especially in international moves, and why it's essential to have value conversations before crisis, or resentment or even before committing to the work itself. Through personal experience and economic insight, Mickelle reframes caregiving as crucial infrastructure, worthy of recognition and compensation.

Key Moments:

Why shared households don’t always mean shared security
The emotional and economic risks of assuming you are being valued
How unpaid care work underpins our entire economy
A call to create household agreements before big moves abroad(or any big transitions)
