#84 Scared to Move Abroad? Unpacking the Fears Lurking in Your Suitcase đŸ‘»


Listen Later

Ever feel like moving abroad is stirring up more monsters than excitement? In today’s special Halloween episode, we’re dusting off those “under-the-bed” fears, shedding some light on the scariest "what-ifs" around moving abroad, and arming you with the truth to face them head-on.

I asked my Instagram community to share their biggest fears about moving abroad, and today, we’re tackling the most bone-chilling responses, including:

  • "What if I don’t make friends and end up feeling completely isolated?"
  • "What if I lose my job or burn through my savings?!"
  • "What if I struggle with the language and feel like I don’t fit in?"
  • "Can I really leave my family behind without feeling haunted by guilt?"

Join me as we unpack these anxieties with a healthy dose of humor, some personal tales from my own adventures, and practical advice for turning these creepy concerns into manageable steps. 

🎃 Spoiler alert: these fears might look big and spooky, but they're easier to handle than they seem.

Ready to shine a flashlight on the truth about moving abroad? Hit play and let’s get those hidden monsters out in the open!

Happy Halloween! đŸ‘»
