DAMChats 12) How to Stay Sane While Parenting Abroad: 3 Practical Daily Savers

We’ve all seen the "perfect" morning routines on social media, but what does sanity actually look like in a real, international household? In this episode of DAMChats, Eva and Maren get warm, honest, and direct about the small habits that keep them grounded. Coming from two very different mindsets, they each share three "Sanity Savers"—the practical rituals, mental shifts, and tiny hacks they use to navigate the daily grind of life in the Netherlands.

From reclaiming five minutes of silence to the power of a specific "reset" habit, this conversation moves away from aspirational wellness and into the reality of busy parenting. We want to know: what are the tips and tricks that help you get through the day? Listen in to hear our favorites, then head over to Instagram to share your own. Let’s learn from each other and build a collective toolkit for staying sane while raising our families far from home.
