The human side of global mobility
Welcome to Rooted and Routed
Rooted and Routed is a podcast built on human stories and lived experience from lives shaped by global mobility. Hosted by Sabiya Pathan Withoeck, every episode is a real conversation about identity, belonging, and what it actually feels like to live between cultures, countries, and systems. Expats, returnees, diplomats, founders, educators, parents, third-culture humans — the people who carry more than one home.

About
Sabiya Pathan Withoeck
Host & Creator of Rooted and Routed
Sabiya is the voice and curator behind Rooted and Routed — a podcast for the people whose lives don’t fit on a single map. She brings the kind of curiosity that only comes from having lived the questions herself: what does it cost to belong in more than one place, and what does it mean to root yourself when the ground keeps shifting?
Each episode is a real, unfiltered conversation — not relocation tips or expat checklists, but the emotional and structural reality of building a life across cultures, countries, and systems.
