You did everything “right”—great job, good salary, clear path.
So why does it feel so wrong?

In this raw, revealing episode, I chat with the Move Abroad Coach Operations Manager and Freedom Life Experience Coach Evan Monroe about the courage it takes to walk away from success that isn’t your success.

We dive into:
 ✨ The burnout baked into U.S. corporate culture
 ✨ Letting go of a 6-figure career and identity built on achievement
 ✨ Myths around productivity, loyalty, and self-worth at work
 ✨ How Evan rebuilt his life through the Freedom Life Experience

💡Feeling stuck in a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel right? This episode is your sign that it’s okay to want more.

You’ve got the dream—moving abroad, building a freedom-based business, living life on your terms—but somehow, you’re still stuck. Why?

In this episode, I dive deep into the real reason behind self-sabotage: your dominant Enneagram instinct.

I break down the 3 core instincts that drive human behavior—Self-Preservation, Social, and Sexual (1-1)—and how each one can secretly block your progress, even when you're fully committed to your goals.

Here’s what I cover:

• How each instinct shows up in your business & abroad dreams
• Where your instinct is helping you—and where it’s holding you back
• Why “just one more plan” or “waiting for the spark” might be fear in disguise
• How to work with your instinct instead of letting it control you

Whether you're a freedom-seeker, aspiring nomad, or purpose-driven entrepreneur—this is Enneagram 2.0-level self-awareness that will change the way you approach your goals.

We talk about:

• Moving abroad without a safety net
• Starting a business without a degree or formal training
• How Bryce found his niche through the Freedom Life Experience
• The power of going all in, even when you're scared
• Why trusting yourself is more important than having all the answers

It all started with one decision to go all in—even when it didn’t make sense on paper.

In the episode:

• Why your dream life feels far away (and what’s actually going on in your brain)
• The mindset shift that changed everything for me—starting with a terrifying $6K investment
• The real reason most people stay stuck (and how to stop sabotaging your future)
• Four common excuses that keep you from taking the leap—and how to reframe them
• A heartfelt reminder: You don’t have to feel “ready” to begin

You’ve got the skills. You’ve got the idea.
But when it comes to PRICING your offers? Total panic. 😰

What should you charge?
What if no one says yes?
Are you asking too much—or not enough?

We get it. Pricing is one of the biggest mindset and strategy blocks for new freelancers and business owners. Today we’re bringing in Coach Lee Milligan—Freedom Life Experience alum, Enneagram coach, and branding wizard—to walk you through how to stop undercharging and start pricing like a pro.

💸 In this episode, we cover:

• Why most new entrepreneurs undercharge (and how to stop)
• The difference between pricing for survival vs. pricing for sustainability
• Lee’s journey from hesitant freelancer to confidently charging premium rates
• How mindset, branding, and real value impact your price point
• Common mistakes people make when setting their prices (and how to fix them fast)

👀 Plus, I share how I went from selling $200 courses and $300/month gigs to charging $2K–$3K+ for coaching and freelance packages—and how YOU can do the same.

After two months, three countries, and way too many late-night pros and cons lists… we finally made our decision.

In this episode, Chris and I reveal the final destination we’ve chosen as our next home abroad—and we’re taking you through the whole messy, emotional, and surprising decision-making process to get there.

We break down our top 3 cities—Valencia, Málaga, and Chania (Crete)—and talk through what we loved, what didn’t click, and how we ultimately chose the one.

If you’ve been following our scouting trip, get ready. The announcement is here.

🎧 Tune in to find out which city won—and why it was a much harder decision than you’d think. 🎧

We recorded this episode in Spain over half a bottle of Vermut—and let’s just say things got honest. 

After two months of scouting Europe with a toddler, we’re breaking down our three Spanish contenders (Valencia, Alicante, and Málaga) and asking: could we actually live here?

But this isn’t your typical city guide. We’re comparing cities like exes, calling out red flags, daydreaming about our next chapter, and being brutally real about what makes a place livable—not just pretty.

In this episode:

• What Valencia, Alicante, and Málaga were really like as move-abroad contenders
• The city that gave us second-date energy vs. the one that felt like a vacation fling
• What actually matters when choosing a place to live long-term (beyond the food and beach vibes)
• How our family, lifestyle, and emotional needs shaped the way we saw each city

If you’ve ever tried to turn a vacation spot into a forever home—or debated if a city is husband material—this one’s for you.

If you think you need to learn coding, AI, or become a VA to move abroad… think again.

You already have skills people will pay for—you just need to reposition, not reinvent. In this episode, I’m calling out the biggest myth that’s keeping talented people stuck and showing you how to use what you already know to start making money fast—without burnout, imposter syndrome, or another expensive certification.

In this episode:

• Why “starting over” is a lie (and what to do instead)
• The Low-Hanging Fruit approach to making money with your existing skill
• Why freelancing beats remote job hunting (especially if you're moving abroad)
• How this all looks when you're living internationally
• The mindset shift that will change everything: “You’re not unqualified—you’re unpositioned.”

You don’t need another degree—you need a plan. Let’s build yours. 💛

After 2 months, 8 cities, and 3 bottles of wine… the Sicily episode is finally here—take two. And this time, the mic was actually turned on. 😅

In this unfiltered, brutally honest recap, we’re spilling all the tea (and some wine) on our scouting trip through Sicily: from getting robbed in Syracuse to being underwhelmed by seafood pasta in Palermo. We’re sharing the good, the bad, and the oh-so-trashy (literally).

Whether you’re dreaming of Italy, planning a scouting trip of your own, or just want to laugh at our chaos, this episode is part travel story, part coaching, part love letter to what we thought Sicily would be.

🚨 Spoiler: We decided not to move to Italy—but we tell you exactly why and what we did love along the way.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why we originally had our hopes set on Italy (and how ChatGPT helped us narrow in on Sicily)
• What it’s really like to scout Catania, Taormina, Syracuse, and Palermo with a toddler
• The truth about garbage, mafia vibes, and why living in Sicily isn’t as idyllic as Instagram suggests
• How it compares to other destinations like Crete and Thessaloniki
• Pickpocketing, car seat chaos, food tour highlights, and the most beautiful beach in Europe (Mondello, we see you 👀)
• Our honest take on Sicilian food, coffee, and the infamous Korean hate-crime meal
• What it actually feels like to live somewhere vs just travel there—and why trusting your intuition matters
