What You'll Find Here
Inclusive Expat is a growing hub—not a finished answer. These are the core pieces of the project, each evolving as we learn

The Podcast - Inclusive Expat

A podcast sharing real stories, hard lessons, and practical insights from neurodivergent people who’ve moved abroad and had to rebuild life in a system not designed for their brains.

Living Resources

A practical, neurodivergent-friendly toolkit for moving abroad, with checklists, scripts, and systems designed to reduce overwhelm and increase safety, clarity, and autonomy.

The Book

An upcoming book about leaving, rebuilding, and creating lives that center on inclusion and care. Built from lived experience, expert insight, and what actually makes moving abroad survivable—and sustainable.

Our Story

Why this project exists—and why inclusion has to be part of any conversation about mobility. It all started with macaroni and cheese...

Let’s Introduce our Host

I’m Sita. I have ADHD (late identified) and I’m pretty sure I’m autistic too. I just don’t have the official paperwork yet. I’m a published author, a former doula and childbirth educator, and someone who’s spent most of her life helping people navigate major transitions.

Now I’m navigating one myself. In 2025, my husband and I moved our family of six from the United States to Spain. Not for adventure, but for safety, access, and a life that actually worked for our neurodivergent household.

Inclusive Expat grew out of that experience. It’s not expert advice. It’s what my family and I are actually learning—the hard way, in real time—about moving abroad without leaving yourself behind.

When I’m not recording episodes or writing, I’m probably playing one of my 200 board games or figuring out how to make mac and cheese with Spanish ingredients.

Inclusive Expat grew out of our family’s decision to move abroad in search of safety, access, and a life that actually worked for us. This project exists for people who don’t fit the “typical expat” narrative. People like neurodivergent adults, families, and anyone navigating mobility with real constraints. It’s not about doing it perfectly. It’s about doing it honestly, with respect for our neurodivergent brains.
