The New to Canada Podcast

Regretting Your Move and Going Back Home | Chiara from England


Listen Later

What happens when you move to a new country… and it doesn't work out?

You don't find the happiness and success that you thought you would.

You painfully miss everyone and everything that you left behind and feel like you've made a huge mistake.

We've all gone through times of feeling this way, but it isn't spoken about enough so you can end up feeling like a failure. Like you're the only one struggling.

This episode's guest is Chiara from England. She has recently blown up on social media since she started to vulnerably share her story. She moved to Vancouver just last year and has since realised that it wasn't the right decision for her.

This podcast is filled with inspiring success stories from newcomers to Canada. People who have built amazing lives for themselves here. It's truly an incredible country and there is so much opportunity.

However, I was excited to sit down with Chiara for a different take. One that so many people share and experience (as you can see from the comments on her videos.) Sometimes, a move abroad doesn't bring you happiness and a return back home is the best choice for you.

Together, we discuss her story and what brought her to this decision. We chat about the danger of making a PLACE responsible for your happiness, and whether we think living outside of our comfort zones is even a positive thing. Chiara then shares whether she's nervous about returning to her old life in London and some of her best advice for others who may be regretting their move.
