Kim is in Paris for another conversation in her special series, Another Way to Live: Conversations from Paris, exploring how living in France can shift the way we think about work, identity, time, and what really matters.
This week, Kim sits down with Pamela Clapp, a Belgian-American writer and marketing strategist who has lived in Paris for more than 14 years. Pamela shares her story of growing up between Hawaii, California, France, and New York, and how those different cultures shaped her sense of belonging, ambition, and home.
Together, Kim and Pamela talk about the French relationship to busyness, why work is not always the center of identity in France, the American obsession with finding your purpose, French school culture, lunch breaks, status signals in Paris, and the quiet art of letting life be good enough.
