In this series, Kim is interviewing French women to gain a rare and honest window into how they think about everything from work, motherhood, relationships, style and life overall. We'll have real conversations that go beyond the cliches and offer perspective, advice and inspiration.

Ludivine Lombard-Taverne, our guest today, was born in Lille, moved to Japan at 19, later built a life in Hong Kong with her husband, and is now raising her two children in Aix-en-Provence.

Together, we'll talk about motherhood, marriage, keeping your own identity in a relationship, and we'll get into the realities of bilingual education, choosing between the IB and the French baccalauréat, and what it means to raise children who grew up abroad but still feel deeply French.
