What do you do when you’re experiencing one of life’s challenges? Do you acknowledge it and work through it or do you just push through? When it comes to loneliness, just pushing through comes at a terrible cost and you’re paying it blindly. Let’s ta... more
If it’s not already clear: I’m Phil. I’m gay and I get lonely. I come out as gay all the time. I also come out as lonely all the time. Coming out as lonely is tough. It’s often far easier for me to come out as gay than it is to come out as lonely. Le... more

Stumbled across this podcast and find Phil’s words resonate so strongly it’s like he’s given me the language to explain to myself and others how I feel. Absolutely recommend to anyone who feels a lack of connection or just a little lost in this thing we call life. Thanks Phil!
Such important and insightful work to break the barrier that hangs over the diplomatic world - suffering in silence as exploring the world also means isolation from loved ones in a culture of ‘suck it up, you’re lucky to have the posting’.
Love Phil’s approach to this work and supporting his community
This resource is better than I could have imagined when I searched for podcasts on being a diplomat. Thank you for being so genuine and open about your experiences and including other people in your podcast.
If you’re a diplomat at any stage of your career - or even an expat/globally mobile individual in general - this new podcast already contains a ton of valuable ideas, food for thought and advice for staying connected to yourself and others while you go on your global journey. Highly recommended.
