It's normal to feel that the honeymoon period is fading.
You may notice:
Stress or confusion in everyday interactions
Language challenges slowing you down
Difficulty forming deeper connections
Frustration with administration
or local rules
This is not failure.
This is the stage where real integration happens and you can thrive with the right support.
Hi, I'm Emmanuelle
I founded EyS Provence because I understand what it feels like to be competent and confident in your home country, yet feel completely lost in another culture.
When I lived in the United States, I experienced firsthand the invisible challenges of integration: the mental exhaustion, the self-doubt, the longing for connection.
I'm not here as a teacher.
I'm here as your guide and cultural bridge, someone who walks alongside you.
