I'm moving abroad in fall of 2026, and since we are about 9 10 months away from the move, all I can really do is think about all of the "what ifs", fears, and challenges that I will face. It's too far away to make big progress to soothe these fears, so this is the stage I am deeming, the catastrophizing stage.

In this episode, I'm sharing all of the fears and challenges that have been coming up in my mind, and ways I am trying to overcome them. These fears include financial concerns, family dynamics, language integration, and the fear of regret. If you're considering moving abroad or have already done it, you most definitely will relate to this episode!
