Everyone talks about the sunshine, the lifestyle, the dream.

But what no one really warns you about?

The emotional toll and how much pressure relocation can quietly put on your relationship.

According to psychologists, relocation is one of the top five most stressful life events, right up there with divorce and starting a new job. 

In this episode, Sandra and Warner open up about what really happened behind the scenes of their move to Spain - from losing their rhythm as a couple, role reversals, and redefining what "success" looked like in their early years abroad.

What you’ll discover in this episode:

• The #1 mistake most couples make when they relocate (and how to avoid it)
• Why you can’t “do it all at once” - and what should come first
• The emotional roles no one prepares you for (especially with kids in the mix)
• The importance of communication during the transition
• How to create “rituals” that reconnect you when everything feels disconnected
• Why this is one of the most important conversations they’ve ever had on the podcast

If you’re dreaming of a life in Spain - especially as a couple or family -  this episode is your chance to learn from those who’ve lived through the messy middle… and come out stronger.
