Ep 21: Natalie Robinson On Growing Up As A Third Culture Kid And Finding Your Passion

Welcome to episode 21 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.

I am so pleased to be joined on this episode by Natalie Robinson, who has a number of photography-based businesses here in Dubai, including Wild Child which is where I met Natalie when she photographed my very first shoot for Next of Kin baby clothes!

I asked Natalie to be on the show because she has an interesting background growing up between America, Belgium, Singapore and the UK so I wanted to find out how that influenced her as a parent to 3 children that she chose to raise in UAE. With a 10, 13 and 15 year old, she also gives me an insight into raising teenagers here and some good tips! As well as this, I was keen to understand her experience as a business owner, how she found her passion, and her reflections on 12 years in business.
