Move Abroad

Have you ever felt like you missed your chance to move abroad?

Maybe you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, and you've started telling yourself that international living is something you were supposed to do years ago. A gap year. A study abroad program. A backpacking trip after college.

But what if that's not true?

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why moving abroad is a lifestyle decision, not an age-based decision

• Where the "I'm too old to move abroad" belief comes from

• The advantages of moving abroad later in life, including greater financial stability and career opportunities

• Why confidence and self-awareness can make international living easier

If you've ever wondered whether you're too old to start a new chapter abroad, this episode is for you.

Because the question isn't:

"Am I too old to move abroad?"

The question is:

"Is this still something I want?"

And if the answer is yes, your age may be far less important than you think.

Everyone talks about the dream of moving abroad, but nobody talks about what happens years later, when it stops feeling new and starts feeling like real life.

In this episode, I get real about what living in London for nearly seven years has actually felt like - the good, the messy, and the surprisingly beautiful.

In this episode, I'm covering:

• The difference between your first year abroad vs. year five
• How living abroad genuinely changes who you are as a person
• The honest downsides nobody really talks about — missing birthdays, weddings, and holidays back home
• Why I feel a deep sense of peace and freedom after getting my UK permanent residency
• The question every expat eventually faces: "Will you stay forever?"
• Why you don't have to have it all figured out before you go

My biggest takeaway: "Life can be built in more than one place, and life can be built more than once."

Whether you're just starting to dream about moving abroad or you're already living it, this episode will encourage you, ground you, and remind you that it's good on the other side.

One of the most unexpected things moving abroad teaches you is how much your standards for life can change. Not in a spoiled way, but in a "wow, I didn't realize life could feel like this" kind of way. And once that shift happens, it's hard to unsee it.

In this episode, I break down what "standards" actually means in this context. This is not about luxury or upgrading your lifestyle. It's about what you start seeing as normal, healthy, enjoyable, and possible, including things like work-life balance, walkability, pace of life, travel access, community, and stress levels.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• How walkable cities and car-free daily life can make your routine feel more human and less rushed
• Why burnout is not actually inevitable and what a healthier work-life balance looks like abroad
• The beauty of slower, more intentional living including café culture, long dinners, and a life that isn't built around hustle
• How travel stops feeling like an escape and starts feeling like a natural part of everyday life
• Why living among things built with character and beauty quietly improves your well-being
• How experiencing different healthcare and safety net structures changes your baseline sense of security

I also keep it real with an important nuance. Living abroad is not perfect. Every country comes with trade-offs, loneliness, bureaucracy, and distance from the people you love. But experiencing another way of life changes your perspective forever.

The biggest takeaway? Sometimes moving abroad does not just change where you live. It changes what you believe is possible for your life.

Do you think you need to be exceptional to get hired abroad? Think again.

The truth is, companies aren't rejecting international candidates because they don't like foreigners. They're rejecting uncertainty. And once you understand that, the whole game changes.

In this episode, Jordan gets brutally honest and tactical about what it actually takes to land a job offer in another country. She applied to 200 jobs over six months with nothing to show for it — then flipped her strategy and walked away with four job offers, every single one with visa sponsorship.

This episode is your playbook.

You'll learn:

• Why your US resume is making you look "complicated" before you even get a callback
• The "already moving" technique that flips the hiring manager's mindset instantly
• The bridge job strategy — the underrated move Jordan used herself to get her foot in the door in London
• Why small companies may hire you faster than big global brands
• How to network before you apply (and why it changes everything)
• Which countries are actively looking for your exact skill set
• How your American background can become your biggest competitive advantage abroad

Whether you're just starting to explore moving abroad or you've been applying for months with no results, this episode will help you strategize your international job search.

A lot of Americans romanticize moving to London… until they actually start researching the visa process and try to get job sponsorship. 

Then suddenly it feels impossible.

Visa rules keep changing. Companies seem hesitant to sponsor international applicants. And headlines make it sound like the UK is shutting its doors.

So is moving to London still realistic for Americans in 2026?

•  The reality of UK visa sponsorship 
•  Skilled Worker visas explained 
•  Internal company transfers and multinational companies

The truth is: moving to London is absolutely still possible—but the people who succeed are usually the ones who stop treating it like a fantasy and start treating it like a real long-term goal with strategy behind it.

If moving abroad is something you constantly think about, this episode will help you understand what the process actually looks like today—and how to decide which path might make the most sense for you.

The key shift: your first 30 days are about setting up your life not perfecting it.

Most people focus on the logistics of moving abroad, visas, jobs, housing.

But the mental and emotional side is just as important.

You can have the perfect plan on paper, but if you’re not mentally prepared, the move can feel much harder than it needs to.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

•  Why you don’t need to feel fully ready before moving abroad 
•  The emotional phases of moving abroad (and what to expect)

•  Why there’s no such thing as a “perfect” move abroad experience 
•  How to define what success looks like for you 
•  How to focus on your next step instead of your entire future 
•  Simple ways to create emotional stability in a new country 

Moving abroad is both exciting and challenging and that’s part of the process.

You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be willing.

You can feel uncertain and still take a step that completely changes your life.
