Rooted and Routed Podcast
Rooted and Routed is a storytelling podcast for anyone living between cultures, identities, and geographies.
Hosted by Sabiya Pathan Withoeck, each episode invites you into real, reflective conversations about belonging, resilience, migration, motherhood, and the emotional layers of life abroad.
This isn’t about relocation checklists or surface-level advice. It’s about the quieter moments, the ones that shape who we’re becoming.
Whether you're a global nomad, a returning expat, or someone navigating the in-between, this space is for you.
Because we don’t just belong to places.
We belong to stories.
To people.
To ourselves.
