This week, I’m sharing something special—a panel recording from my last Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp featuring three incredible Freedom Life alumni who have successfully made their dream of moving abroad a reality.
Meet the Panelists:
Monica: A writing coach who moved her business to Amsterdam along with her husband and their two cats. (Fun Fact: My husband joined her writing coaching program) Lisa: A retired digital nomad traveling the world as a pet sitter. Lisa shares her expertise on finances, downsizing, and navigating 30 countries in a year —plus, she’s even pet-sat for me in Georgia!Allison: After being let go from her job in the US, Allison made a bold move to Spain to job-hunt on the ground. She quickly landed a position in Germany, navigating the process with her large dog in tow.These three women faced very different challenges—running a business, finding a full-time job abroad, retiring to travel the world—but each found their way. Their stories are full of real-life advice on moving pets, budgeting, visas, and how to embrace the unexpected.

“What if I move abroad and it doesn’t fix my life?”
If you wake up at 2am with this thought coursing through your mind, you’re not alone. Many people dream of starting over in a new country, hoping it will bring them the happiness or fulfillment they feel is missing. But there’s often a nagging fear: What if I still don’t feel fulfilled? What if the grass isn’t greener on the other side?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.
