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.

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.

It’s been three months since we packed up our life, moved to Spain, and officially became Málaga residents. So… did we make the right decision?

In today’s episode, Chris is back with me for a raw, honest check-in on what life has actually been like these past three months — beyond the honeymoon phase and beyond the Instagram highlights.

We’re breaking down:
 ✨ Whether Málaga still feels like the right choice
 ✨ What’s surprised us most about day-to-day life here
 ✨ The visa process (and the paperwork Spain always asks for)
✨ Whether we’ve made friends yet
✨ The culture quirks we didn’t expect
✨ How it feels to finally have our stuff… right before leaving again
✨ What’s been unexpectedly hard — and unexpectedly wonderful

If you’re curious what life abroad really looks like after the initial excitement wears off, you’ll love this one.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting to move abroad — like you’re somehow turning your back on your country — this episode is for you.

I'm unpacking where that guilt comes from, how to release it, and why choosing peace doesn’t mean you’re betraying your roots.

In this episode:

• How to love your country and still choose a better life abroad
• Ways to stay politically and socially engaged from anywhere
• Taking control of your finances and impact while living overseas
• Giving yourself permission to prioritize peace, freedom, and well-being

If you’re feeling torn about moving abroad or worried about what others will think, it’s time to break free from guilt and step into the life you’re meant to live.

Moving abroad won’t magically change who you are — you bring you with you.

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned since moving to Spain: how living in a walkable, sunny place has changed some habits (like walking more and spending time outside), but how others — like overworking — still follow me wherever I go.

I share:

• The myth that moving abroad automatically creates a “slower life”
• How environment can support change, but not cause it
• Why intentionality matters more than location
• Setting work-life boundaries as an entrepreneur
• Building routines that match the life you actually want

If you want your life to change, you have to create that change — no matter where you live.

You didn’t start your business to be chained to your laptop in Ohio. If you’ve built a business that gives you location freedom — but you’re still living in one of the most expensive and stressful countries on earth — it’s time for a reality check.

In this episode, I break down why moving abroad might be the best business decision you’ll ever make — and what to know before you take the leap.

From lowering your cost of living and expanding your creative energy to optimizing taxes and lifestyle design, this is the permission (and strategy) you’ve been waiting for.

What You’ll Hear:

• The big reframe: Freedom ≠ Geography
• Why staying in the U.S. might actually be costing your business
• Real numbers: what life abroad actually costs (and how I pay $2K/month for a home with a sea view in Spain)
• The 3 biggest business benefits of going global — and how to structure your move
• Key legal + tax considerations before relocating
• How to choose the right country for your lifestyle and business
