8 Raising Kids in Switzerland - An Honest Look

In this episode, I share an honest, personal look at growing up — and raising kids — in Switzerland. From pregnancy and maternity leave to daycare, grandparents, and the differences between city and countryside life, I talk about the everyday realities many families only discover along the way.
This episode is based on my own experience, first as a child and now as a mother. It’s not about statistics or perfect systems, but about how things actually work in daily life — especially for families who didn’t grow up here.
