In this episode of "Coming to Your Senses," Jules engages in a profound conversation with Chris Bibbo and Amanda Pennington, a couple who have embarked on a transformative journey from the U.S. to Portugal. The couple shares their experience of realising that their thoughts were the primary barriers to achieving their dream of living in Europe. They discuss how life coaching helped them recognise and challenge these limiting beliefs, ultimately leading them to take a "midlife gap year" in Portugal.
About Amanda and Chris:
Amanda Pennington and Chris Bibbo are an American couple living in central Portugal. They had both spent their careers in the non-profit sector, motivated by the desire to help improve lives and make a positive impact in the world. Despite doing off-rewarding work in organizations with important missions, they still experienced midlife crises as they approached their fifties.
Feeling adrift, stuck, dissatisfied, and unmotivated, they longed for a change but didn't know what it might be. Several jarring wake up calls, including Amanda's breast cancer diagnosis and the untimely passing of several friends and relatives close to them in age only exacerbated the situation.
A period of soul-searching and exploration led them both to pursue training as professional coaches. In the process of learning to coach and being coached themselves, things began to shift. Learning to focus on what was most important to them and take action toward meaningful goals, learning to notice their own limiting beliefs and move beyond their usual stopping points, they experienced a new sense of possibility and excitement about the future.
As long as they'd been together, they'd had a dream of living abroad — to explore amazing places, experience different cultures, enjoy delicious food and wine, and meet interesting people. It had always been a "someday" sort of fantasy though with no actual plan for making it happen and all sorts of reasons to keep putting it off. As the wake-up calls they experienced strengthened their resolve, coaching supported them to take the necessary steps to make their dream a reality. Now living their best lives in central Portugal since March 2023, they can attest to the value of coaching first-hand and love to support others to achieve their dreams and goals.
