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

Trying to build a business and move abroad at the same time?  You’re not crazy for thinking it’s A LOT. In this episode, we break down how to actually make it manageable, so you can move strategically without losing your mind.

What you’ll hear:

• How to figure out what to focus on first: build your business before you move, or move first and grow it abroad
• Simple, realistic ways to manage a full-time job, savings, or a family while planning your move
• How to focus on “needle-moving” tasks so you’re not spinning your wheels
• Mindset shifts to turn stress into productive, freedom-building momentum

You don’t have to choose between building your dream business and moving abroad—you just need a strategic plan. A few months of intentional effort now can lead to years of freedom, flexibility, and a life you actually enjoy.

Those “soft life” influencer videos? The stay-at-home girlfriends making lattes, baking bread, and living in perpetual golden hour? Yeah… it’s not the whole story.

In this episode, I break down why the soft girl dream is often a trap — built on economic dependence and social media illusion — and what it actually takes to create a truly soft, sustainable life.

You’ll learn:

• Why the influencer version of “soft life” is a luxury built on privilege
• The real risks of financial dependence
• How to design your own “soft-ish” life through freedom, flexibility & financial control
• The practical path to becoming work-optional — no man or corporate job required

If you’re craving less hustle and more ease, this episode shows you how to build softness on your own terms.

We’ve officially survived our first month in Spain — and it’s been a ride. From arriving in the middle of August (rookie mistake!) to diving straight into Feria festivities, navigating house hunting, and dealing with Spanish red tape, it feels like we’ve lived a year in just a few weeks.

In this episode, Chris and I share our first impressions of life in Spain: what we love, what’s been hard, and whether we think we made the right move. Spoiler: it’s complicated.

We cover:

• Landing during festival season and what that was like
• The chaos of house hunting in August (and what it takes to actually sign a lease here)
• Settling into a new home with a few… surprises left behind
• Navigating childcare, babysitters, and daycare in Spain
• Internet, phones, and banking struggles (hello, NIE paperwork)
• Grocery shopping, clothing sizes, and the quirks of Spanish shopping habits
• Healthcare wins, from pediatricians to vaccines
• Making friends, going to meetups, and getting invited to birthday parties

We wrap up with some fun rapid-fire takes: our favorite moment so far, the lowest low, and our biggest “WTF?!” moment since moving.

It’s been messy, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming — but we’re starting to feel like this is home.

The only thing standing between you and your dream life abroad… is YOU.

This episode is your (loving) wake-up call. No more “one day.” No more excuses about money, jobs, partners, or research rabbit holes.

I’m breaking down:

• Why fear + perfectionism keep you stuck
• How job security is a myth (and why working for yourself might be easier)
• Why your partner isn’t on board — and how to fix it
• The truth about money myths that keep you from moving

If you’ve been saying you want to move abroad for years but nothing’s changed, this is the episode that flips the switch.

Thinking about moving abroad but not sure how your situation stacks up? In this episode, I break down what it’s really like to move abroad solo, as a couple, and as a family — and which is actually the hardest.

Having done all three (China solo, Vietnam/Tanzania/Georgia as a couple, and now Spain with a toddler), I share:

• Pros & cons of each scenario – freedom vs. support, compromise vs. independence
• Real-life stories from my moves, from awkward salsa nights to house-hunting disagreements
• Tips for thriving no matter your situation — from making friends solo to negotiating childcare time with your partner
• Mindset shifts to stop comparing your journey to others and embrace your unique path

Whether you’re flying solo, planning with a partner, or taking the whole family abroad, you’ll get practical advice and encouragement to make your move work for you.
