Move Abroad

96: Feeling guilty about moving abroad? Why it happens and how to overcome it.


Listen Later

Have you ever felt guilty about wanting to move abroad — like you’re letting down your family, friends, or even your culture? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share my own experience with guilt after moving overseas, including the comments people made (“I love my family too much to live abroad,” “Why did you move abroad? Is the US not good enough for you?”) and how those words weighed on me day-to-day.

We’ll explore why guilt shows up when you choose to live abroad, from family expectations to cultural pressures, and how to reframe it as a sign of love — not a reason to hold yourself back. I’ll also share practical ways to handle guilt, like staying connected intentionally, including your loved ones in your journey, and giving yourself permission to enjoy the life you’re building abroad.

By the end, you’ll see that guilt doesn’t have to stop you — moving abroad is not selfish, it’s an act of growth.
