There’s no shortage of advice online about moving abroad, and most of it sounds responsible and well-intentioned. But after helping hundreds of people plan real moves across different countries, visas, timelines, and life situations, I’ve noticed something important:

Moves rarely fall apart because people aren’t serious enough. They fall apart because of a handful of very common, reasonable mistakes - the kind you don’t even realize you’re making.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 mistakes I see all the time:

• Why getting attached to one “dream country” too early can derail your options
• How considering rent instead of your entire budget leads to unnecessary financial panic
• How trying to DIY a visa creates more stress, delays, and expenses
• Why visas, taxes, and business structure must be looked at together (not one at a time)
• The simple reminder to keep you from postponing your move forever: you can always fly home.

If any of these sound familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It means you’re doing something big, and you’re learning how to do it better.

Remember: You don’t need perfection or certainty. Moving to another country requires flexibility, quality information, and intentional decisions made in the right order.

What if the thing holding you back from moving abroad isn’t visas, money, or logistics, but rather, trying to follow someone else’s version of freedom? We’re unpacking why there’s no one “right” way to move abroad, and how to design a freedom-first lifestyle that actually fits you.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why the popular “sell everything, move to Spain, digital nomad visa forever” narrative can be limiting
• How online stories create rules that don’t have to apply to your life
• A real client example showing how not choosing one country can be the most freeing move for some people
• The power of hybridity: splitting time between the U.S. and abroad 
• How to redefine success as freedom, flexibility, and choice (not permanence)

There are no rules, only choices. The goal isn’t necessarily moving abroad forever; it’s creating your freedom life. Consider what you really want, then do just that.

#130 Stop Making Moving Abroad Harder Than It Needs to Be

#103 Screw ‘Realistic’: Why Playing to Not Lose Is Holding You Back From Your Dream Life Abroad

#82 Why All-or-Nothing Thinking Is Sabotaging Your Move Abroad

Last year, I let my health slide.

Between growing a business, raising a toddler, moving to Spain, and traveling for months, the first thing to go was me — my movement, my stress management, my sleep.

And while that might work short-term, it’s not sustainable.

So for 2026, I’m doing things differently. Not all-or-nothing. Not crash dieting or rigid routines. Just small, sustainable habits that actually work with a busy life.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Tameika G, a holistic weight loss coach who:

• Lost 100 pounds and kept it off for 15+ years
• Has helped 2,000+ women build sustainable health habits
• Has lived abroad for years and built her business while traveling and living overseas

We talk about:

• Why January “go hard” health goals fail
• The six habits that actually support long-term health
• Why stress and sleep matter just as much as food and workouts
• How to stay healthy while living abroad or running a business

This episode is for you if you want to feel more energized, grounded, and vibrant — without burning yourself out.

🔥 Join Me for the Consistency Challenge (Jan 12–15)

Tameika is hosting a 4-day Consistency Challenge, and I’ll be doing it alongside you.

This is not a detox or extreme challenge.
It’s about building habits that actually stick.

It runs January 12–15, costs $47, and the goal is simple: help you stop starting over.

👉 Join me for the challenge here

Because what’s the point of building a life of freedom if you’re too burnt out to enjoy it?

• #127 You’re Not Lazy- It’s Resistance: How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Dreams with Monica Hay

It’s the first week of January and I love that fresh-start energy where everything feels possible. In this episode, I’m ditching hustle-y, pressure-filled goal setting and exploring a more aligned approach: becoming the person who naturally lives the life you want.

Instead of forcing goals through willpower, I introduce a new approach—identity shifts, future-self alignment, and fun, low-pressure ways to make 2026 feel expansive, not exhausting.

In this episode I share:

• Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout (and what to do instead)
• How identity—not motivation—is the missing link to real change
• Why moving abroad, scaling your business, or working less starts with who you believe you ar
• A reframe on vision boards that focuses on becoming, not achieving
• Goal Bingo: a playful, pressure-free way to design a life you actually want to live

If you’re ready for 2026 to be about becoming, not hustling, then this episode is a must listen!

In this annual New Year’s episode, I’m reflecting on a year that stretched me in every possible way—business growth, leadership, motherhood, health, and moving to Spain.

I revisit my intentions from last year, share what actually happened behind the scenes, and break down the shifts, decisions, and hard truths that reshaped both my business and my identity.

This episode covers:

• A candid recap of how 2025 radically challenged me personally and professionally
• What actually went into scaling my business this year
• The realities behind “money without hustle”
• How moving abroad, motherhood, and business growth collided—and what I learned about energy, health, and sustainability
• The vision and intentions I’m setting for 2026: more revenue, fewer hours, better health, and more freedom
• Why you don’t become “her” when you get there, but rather before you go

If you’re entering a new season of growth and know something has to change to get there, this episode is for you.

Going home for the holidays can feel strange when you’ve outgrown the version of yourself that your family still sees. After living abroad for 13 years, I know this feeling well, and I’ve navigated uncomfortable conversations over the holidays quite a few times.

Whether you’re building a business, planning a move abroad, or living a life that doesn’t fit the “traditional” mold, this episode is for you.

This Episode Covers:

• Navigating holiday conversations when your life, business, or plans don’t fit the traditional path
  How to respond to family concern, judgment, or guilt trips with calm confidence (and without over-explaining)
• The identity shift that happens when you outgrow the version of yourself people still see
• Why you don’t need approval to change, move abroad, or build a life that feels aligned

In this episode, I’m walking you through one of my favorite exercises from my recent retreat in Thailand — a guided visualization where you go meet the 2026 version of you who’s already living abroad, running a grounded and spacious business, and actually feeling the life you’ve been planning.

We’re stepping out of strategy mode and into identity. Because you can have all the plans in the world, but if you don’t believe you can hold the life you want… you’ll sabotage it without even realizing it.

Here’s what we do together in the episode:

• You’ll take a 5-minute guided visit to your future self — their home, their energy, their lifestyle, and the message they have for you right now.
 • We’ll unpack what came up (even if it felt random or surprising) and what it reveals about who you’re becoming.
 • And finally, we’ll get clear on one simple, brave action you can take today to close the gap between you and the 2026 version of you who’s already living this life abroad.

This is the perfect end-of-year moment to meet your future self — and start becoming them now, not someday.

• #103  Screw ‘Realistic’: Why Playing to Not Lose Is Holding You Back From Your Dream Life Abroad

In this episode I dive into why December is the most powerful month to pause, reassess, and reset your business and lifestyle goals—especially if you’re dreaming of moving abroad or stepping into a more spacious way of working.

I’m breaking down my own whirlwind year: nearly hitting seven figures, moving countries, traveling with a toddler, restructuring my team and navigating functional burnout. On paper everything looked incredible, but behind the scenes it forced a complete recalibration of how I lead, work, and live.

You'll hear:
 – The truth behind rapid growth, burnout, and why I wouldn’t repeat 2025
 – How leadership shifts, delegation, and new structure rebuilt my business
 – Why December’s quiet exposes misalignment and creates space for clarity
 – What to leave behind this year and how to identify the wins that matter
 – A practical audit to align your business with the lifestyle you want abroad

This episode gives you the clarity and direction to close the year strong and step into 2026 with a plan for your life that finally feels aligned.

As we head into December, many of us look back at our goals and judge ourselves by what we achieved or didn’t achieve. But this year, I experienced something different — and honestly, far more transformative: choosing to let go of goals I knew I could hit.

In this episode, I’m sharing the two big goals I consciously walked away from in 2025, why it was so hard, and how releasing them created more clarity, alignment, and expansion in my life and business.

From shifting identities to protecting my energy, to recognizing when a goal belongs to a past version of you, this conversation is an invitation to redefine what “success” looks like.

What I share:

• Why I believe goal-setting should evolve as you evolve
• The difference between falling short and walking away with intention
• How I recognized when a goal no longer fit the current version of me
• What happened when I pressed pause on a dream that was within reach
• How letting go can sometimes create more growth than pushing through

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is change direction when you’re already halfway there.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Freedom Life Experience Alunni Carissa, who recently moved to a tiny French town straight out of Beauty and the Beast… with her very large German Shepherd.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to move abroad with a big dog: the paperwork, the flights, the kennels, the trains, the vet visits, the housing search, all of it — this is your episode.

Carissa shares:

• How she found her dream town in the Alsace region (and why Strasbourg wasn’t the vibe)
• What it’s actually like to fly internationally with a large dog under the plane
• The unexpected vet issues, paperwork drama, airport chaos, and train challenges
• How her dog helped her integrate and get to know her new community
• Why vibes matter more than checklists when scouting a country
• The reality of finding housing in France when you have a big dog 
• What made her go from “Maybe I’ll move abroad in 5 years” to “I’m doing this THIS Fall”

This episode is part fairytale, part logistical saga, and part empowering reminder that you can build the life you want — even if you’re moving overseas with a giant dog in a muzzle who hates escalators.

Carissa proves that with flexibility, resilience, and the right support, your dream life abroad is absolutely possible.
