August 14, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

In this episode of Bennu by Flux Forward, Ben Brink speaks with Hee Baek, founder of OW Care, about community, care, and what it really means to find your place in a new country.


The conversation starts with healthcare navigation, but quickly opens into something broader: emotional anchors, belonging, language, volunteering, and the role of community support in international life. Hee reflects on her own journey across countries and shares practical advice for newcomers trying to build a life in the Netherlands.


This episode explores how care goes beyond formal services. It's also about finding the right ecosystem, learning the language, staying curious, and building support systems that help you feel more grounded over time.


Topics in this episode include:

  • healthcare and community navigation
  • emotional anchors and belonging
  • language learning and integration
  • volunteering as a low-threshold way to connect
  • uncertainty, curiosity, and building a life abroad
