Brats: Our Journey Home Teleconference

Have you lived outside your Passport culture and then struggled trying to fit in with people that you have nothing in common with when you returned “home”?

In this 60-mins interview, you will learn about:

1. How to be comfortable with who you are – that completely opposing ideas are valid and exist all at the same time.

2. How to fully employ your strengths and have compassion for your weaknesses.

3. How to look at “belonging” in a whole new light.

….and so much more.

Donna was raised an Army brat and has lived and worked in Germany, Korea, Ireland, Copenhagen, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Paris. As a child, she moved 12 times in 16 years. Her father was a JAG officer and military judge. When she was 16, her father died, and two weeks later, her family moved to Columbus, Georgia, where she finished high school.

For the next 20 years, Donna moved 19 times, graduated college, and worked in a variety of jobs, but always felt “different” from her fellow Americans. In 1997, she learned that she was not alone. While surfing the Internet, Donna discovered a Web site for her Taegu, Korea high school. A few weeks later, she attended an impromptu reunion in Washington, DC. It was revelatory. For the first time, Donna felt like she “belonged” somewhere, and thus began her journey “home.”

“It’s really about reconnecting and finding a home…. Finding a home not in a place but with a group of people.” Donna Musil

In this interview, Donna will discuss the making of her seven-year passion, Brats: Our Journey home. finding that place of belonging, being comfortable with who you are in the mix of paradoxes, the positive and the challenging legacies that “third culture kids” experience around the globe, and how BRATs/TCKs can develop an ability to “fully employ your strengths and have compassion for your weaknesses.”

What attendees have said about TCK Academy’s teleconferences:

- “I have tears just falling from my eyes. I hear tears from others
too. It is powerful to hear so many others validate my experiences.”

- “It makes me feel like a bird happily flapping around in a bird
bath. I felt so ‘at home’ with you all yesterday.”

- “I would STRONGLY recommend the teleclass to anyone thinking of
joining in.”
