On the outside, moving to Bali might look like a dream. Palm trees, beaches, and adventure. But what most people don’t see are the sacrifices, the grief, and the persistence required to make that dream real.
This is a story about what it truly costs to follow a vision. From saying goodbye to beloved pets, to unexpected home repairs, to letting go of sacred spaces and lifelong belongings — the path to Bali has been layered with both liberation and loss. I’ve had moments of tears, temper, and total surrender. Yet through it all, one truth remains: the bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward on the other side.
If you’re walking through your own transition — whether it’s letting go, starting fresh, or pursuing a big dream — this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that grief and growth can coexist, that shedding skins is part of transformation, and that courage will always ask everything of you… but it will give you everything, too.
“Always choose courage over comfort. That’s the path to your dreams.”
