Woman standing on bridge over water
Emma Morrell used blogging to establish her new identity after moving abroad.
  • Emma Morrell was headed back to work after maternity leave when her husband got offered a job in the Middle East.
  • After relocating and settling her kids, she struggled to figure out what she wanted next in her career.
  • A woman calling her out for being a "woman of leisure" was what prompted her most popular blog post.  

I was seated at the counter in our brand-new kitchen when the call came from my husband. It only took him a few minutes to tell me it had been confirmed: we would be moving from London to Doha, Qatar, in six weeks.
