I am so happy to see this! Privilege is sooo hard to define until, like me, you live cheek by jowl with people who don't share it.
I'm trying to craft a post about this thought too - will try to do that over the weekend and link your podcast to it.

Precisely - thank you @artemislives and @naturalmedicine - and yes, living within a relatively less privileged culture SHOULD slap us wide awake to our privilege, but there's a collective numbness in expatting circles that is truly shameful. I'm having a difficult time opening a discussion on this with a good friend and supporter of my work, but am keen to find ways to persist in defining it, as this is the time to get it all out in the open!
I've never had the words for what privilege is until now that I'm being so deeply moved and educated about racism in the USA, and how the american economic model (inherently ingrained with racism and profound unfairness) is bulldozing cultures around the planet - all under the guise of being the great white saviour... And how I personally have benefited from and continue to hold greatly enhanced freedoms over others where I live.
Much more to unravel, eh!
