| #75 What if Moving Abroad Doesn’t Fix Your Life? Let’s Talk About It. | 10 Sep 2024 | 00:42:11 | |
“What if I move abroad and it doesn’t fix my life?” In today’s episode, we’re diving headfirst into this fear. We’ll explore why moving abroad might not solve all your problems—and why that’s okay. I’ll share practical advice for finding happiness and fulfillment no matter where you are, along with my personal story as an Enneagram 7 who’s constantly chasing “the next big thing” I'm SURE will make me happy. I’ll also share how I struggled with these same feelings while living abroad and how I’ve learned to be present and appreciate the here and now—without the pressure of traditional gratitude lists (because, let’s be honest, those can feel a bit forced). Bonus: If you’ve been dreaming of moving abroad but still don't have a concrete plan in place to make it happen, my Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp is for you! This 4-day live event will guide you step-by-step in creating a personalized plan for your move—whether it’s choosing the right country, figuring out how to fund your life abroad, or setting a timeline that makes sense. Tickets aren’t open yet, but join the waitlist to be the first to know—and get a special bonus when registration opens.

| #74 No Fluency Required: How to Move Abroad Without Speaking the Language | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:48:16 | |
Ever tried to order a meal in a foreign country and ended up with something totally unexpected? Like that time I asked for a "tomato salad" in France and got a plate of just tomatoes. Language barriers can lead to some pretty funny situations, but they can also feel intimidating when you're thinking about moving abroad. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of language learning and breaking down why moving to a country where you don't speak the language isn't as scary as it might seem. I'll share my personal experiences from living in countries like China, Vietnam, and Georgia—places where I either had to learn the language from scratch or get by without speaking it fluently. What You'll Learn:
Special Announcement: Exciting news! We're running another round of our Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp soon! This is a 4-day live event designed to help you create a personalized plan for moving abroad.

| #65 There's Never Going to be a Perfect Time to Move Abroad | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:49:50 | |
Big news: the Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp is just around the corner, and you have less than 2 weeks to sign up! This is your chance to create a personalized plan to move abroad and get the support and guidance you need to make it happen. Now, let’s dive into today's topic. We’re busting the myth of waiting for the perfect time to move abroad. Spoiler alert: it doesn't exist. I’ll also chat about common excuses people use to delay their move, like busy work seasons, important life events, lease agreements, and selling a house. Plus, I'll share strategies to overcome these hurdles.

| #64 No You DON'T Have to Hate the US to Move Abroad | 02 Jul 2024 | 00:48:46 | |
Let's clear up a big misconception—not everyone who moves abroad hates their home country. You can absolutely love your country, be frustrated by it, and still want to fix the things you don’t like. And guess what? You can do all that while living overseas. In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of running towards something you desire, instead of just running away from what you don’t. It’s all about focusing on what you want in life and designing your dream lifestyle abroad. Plus, I’ll address that common line, "If you don’t like it, leave," and explain why critiquing your country is actually a form of patriotism and a push for change. Living abroad doesn’t mean abandoning your roots. You can still be politically active and advocate for change from anywhere in the world. We'll also touch on the privileges and opportunities that come with being from the US, and how these can coexist with your desire to experience life abroad.

| #58 Are You Stuck in the Research Rabbit Hole? | 22 May 2024 | 00:35:13 | |
Do you ever find yourself spiraling down the research rabbit hole when planning your move abroad? Trust me, you're not alone. So many of us get stuck in the endless cycle of Googling, without making any moves. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to escape research mode and start taking real action. Let's face it, it’s way too easy to stay in our comfort zones, obsess over every detail, and let the fear of making mistakes hold us back. But guess what? Perfection is a myth, and taking imperfect action is the key to moving forward. Feeling overwhelmed? It might be time to bring in a pro or lean on someone who’s been there before. Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection. Let’s get you moving towards your dream life abroad! Speaking of taking action by bringing in an expert, we have a FREE Move Your Career Overseas Live Q&A coming up for anyone in the Crash Course happening Thursday May 30th.

It's time for another coaching podcast! This time I'm bringing on Shannon Converse for a deep dive into the world of decision-making and finding balance as a digital nomad parent. Shannon is a member of the Move Abroad Crash Course, and after seeing her latest question in the Crash Course Facebook Group, I knew I needed to bring her in. Shannon's at a crossroads, pondering whether to plant roots in one place overseas or take her family on a whirlwind adventure as digital nomads. With three kids in tow, she's seeking that delicate balance between consistent community and the freedom to travel anywhere anytime. In this conversation, not only did we dive into which option is best for Shannon and her family, but we also got deep about prioritizing our own happiness and fulfillment as parents so we can better show up for our kids. From fears over picking the "right" country, to travel FOMO, and anxiety over whether this lifestyle is good for kids, we cover a lot in this episode!

You might think you need more than a year, but I am here to tell you that you actually don’t need that long. The reality is — anything longer than a year is NOT a goal…it is a vision, and I want you to know and understand the difference. A goal is something short-term, something you are working on implementing in the NOW. A vision is something that you are just imagining and are not quite exactly putting the work into making happen. It is important to know that if you want to see a change, you must quit with the excuses and make it a priority now! Join me as I dive into this further on today’s episode.

| #31 Traveling the World as a Professional Travel Writer with Elizabeth Lavis | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:50:40 | |
On episode 31 of The Move Abroad Coach Podcast, Elizabeth Lavis joins us to talk about her experience of being a traveling writer and how she made that work when she decided that it was time to leave her hometown of Buffalo, NY. At 35 years old, Elizabeth decided that life was simply too short to not do what we wanted to do — so she moved abroad! With a plan of just 6 months abroad to live abroad, Elizabeth’s plans quickly shifted as she discovered just how much she loved it.

| #28 Is Living Abroad Safe??! | 31 Oct 2023 | 00:36:45 | |
Hi everyone and welcome back to The Move Abroad Podcast! Today is episode 28 of the Podcast, and it is our spooky Halloween special — I am talking about something that comes up more often than not. It can feel super scary and is one of the most common questions….safety while living abroad. Is it actually safe to live abroad? What is the difference from living solo vs. solo female travel safety? From China, Tanzania. Mexico, Georgia, and even the USA, there are certain safety measures we all should of course consider (i.e. pick pocketers, etc). However, it is unfair to think that just because someone moves abroad, especially a woman, should consider it “unsafe” to live in that country. Listen now and you may be shocked by what you learn!

Humans aren’t wired to be happy, we are wired to be comfortable. Read that again, friends. On episode 24 of the Move Abroad Coach Podcast, I am talking all about the comfort zone and what is actually holding you back from making that next big move in your life vs. what you think is holding you back. I know this sounds silly, but sometimes we are the ones who talk ourselves out of what we want to do the most. As humans, we are all most settled in the comfort of what we know and are familiar with, but are you actually happy with that? Comfort is nice, but how excited are you for what is going on in your life? If you find yourself with the desire to make a change, don’t let anyone talk you out of that. I have some techniques and suggestions for you on today’s episode about ways you can get through this fear. What are you waiting for? Listen in now! Here's what we talk about in today's episode:
