🌍 Welcome to The Passport Jane Podcast!

At 18, Nathalie became a reality TV star in Madagascar, competing against 1,000+ contestants on "Pazzapa." But fame felt like a prison. So at 19, she left everything behind and moved to France with just her suitcases.

Working multiple jobs while studying (mall sales, law firm receptionist), she continued her music career across Europe, eventually earning French citizenship and moving to London. Then love changed everything - she met Chris Dave, a Grammy-winning musician who's worked with Adele, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran.

During COVID, Nathalie took the ultimate leap of faith: moving to Houston (via Turkey due to travel bans) - a city she'd never even visited. The culture shock was real, but after some postpartum struggles and a disastrous 2-week corporate job, she found her calling in international real estate.

What you'll discover:

* Growing up in Madagascar and dealing with early fame

* The challenges of being a student immigrant in France

* Working three jobs while pursuing music and studies

* Cultural differences between Europe and Texas

* Meeting and marrying a Grammy-winning musician

* Moving to Houston during the pandemic

* Overcoming imposter syndrome in real estate

* How Houston surprised her as a diverse, global city

* Building generational wealth through real estate
