The Angry Therapist Podcast

From Nauseous Nights to Perfect Mornings | Life in Costa Rica


Listen Later

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim takes you inside his personal journey of building a new life in Costa Rica - the highs, the lows, and the unexpected lessons about presence, clarity, and decision-making. From nausea-inducing dirt roads to perfect mornings surfing in Costa Rica, John unpacks how life-changing decisions aren’t made in one big moment… but in a collection of small ones.

You’ll learn:

  • Why clarity about life, love, and career comes from moments, not constant certainty
  • How to notice and “bank” the moments that matter when deciding whether to move abroad, who to love, or what path to take
  • The challenges of living in Costa Rica - from unpaved roads to missing city comforts and the surprising joys that outweigh them
  • How being present is the only way to truly capture moments (and how most of us miss them)
  • Why life’s “yes” often comes from an accumulation of tiny affirmations rather than a single sign
  • Join the conversation! What moments have shaped your biggest life decisions? Have you noticed when your “piggy bank” of yeses finally tipped the scale? Share your story with us.
