This summer we’re taking a break from interviews to bring you a series of themed episodes especially relevant to newly minted EFMs — spouses whose partners have just joined the Foreign Service or who are about to be posted abroad for the first time.
You’ll hear from your hosts—Lauren Steed and Stephanie Anderson—as well as from a smattering of other accompanying partners who left voicemails to share their own advice.

Summer Special #2: EFM Career Narratives
What do you do? What’s your story?
In this episode, Lauren and Steph talk about making the most of your opportunities and redefining who you are in terms of your career.
As accompanying partners, a lot of where we’re going to land in the future is out of our control. However, the story we tell when we get there can make all the difference.
How do we define ourselves and create a more cohesive narrative from a sometimes patchy work history?
