When planning your move abroad, it's easy to feel pressured to grab any job just to make it happen. But hold up! Don't settle. It's totally possible to have a fulfilling career and live abroad.

The trick is to be clear about what kind of job or career you want—whether it's remote or on the ground. Focus on what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for. By zeroing in on your career goals and networking with others, you can craft your dream life abroad.

Screw realistic, let's get clear on what we REALLY want.

In this episode, we’re breaking down how to escape research mode and start taking real action. Let's face it, it’s way too easy to stay in our comfort zones, obsess over every detail, and let the fear of making mistakes hold us back. But guess what? Perfection is a myth, and taking imperfect action is the key to moving forward.

Feeling overwhelmed? It might be time to bring in a pro or lean on someone who’s been there before. Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection. Let’s get you moving towards your dream life abroad!

Speaking of taking action by bringing in an expert, we have a FREE Move Your Career Overseas Live Q&A coming up for anyone in the Crash Course happening Thursday May 30th. So if you're not already in the Crash Course, get on in there to join us LIVE next week.

So you want to build a business that will support you when you move abroad? But how do you juggle a side hustle with a full-time job when you're already so busy?

Is the path of the side hustle right for you, or should you go all in, move abroad somewhere more affordable, and get started there?

Either way - here's what's crucial: Prioritizing getting clients and making money. It's about taking action rather than getting lost in perfecting your website or Instagram.

In this episode, I'm going to share my mistakes and lessons learned and dive into the importance of focusing on key business elements like niche, pricing, marketing, and launch strategy.

If you're ready to build your freedom business, I'm here to help. Let's take action and turn your side hustle dreams into reality.

I'll be sharing my personal journey and the insights I've gathered over years of traveling the world as a digital nomad to help you enjoy your travel lifestyle without constant work stress or FOMO.

Finding the right balance between work and travel is key. How do you explore the world and move every few months (or weeks) while also getting your work done?  We'll explore the concept of being a 'slowmad' - staying in each location for a few months to allow for a deeper work-life balance. We'll also dive into the importance of managing expectations and FOMO, trusting that your future self can revisit destinations and experiences.

Tune in to discover how to make the most out of your digital nomad lifestyle while staying productive and growing your career.

 Happy travels and productive work sessions, my friend!

Let's be real: moving abroad is hard.
But here's the thing - so is staying exactly where you are right now.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a crucial mindset shift: the concept of "choosing your hard".

Is your comfort zone actually all that comfortable? Is your life right now really all that 'easy'?

Personally, I'd rather put in a little hard work now to create the life I want, and get a little uncomfortable to have a life that's aligned to me.

Ready to embrace the challenge and rewrite your narrative? Let's do this.

Now, let's bust some myths, shall we? Freelancing isn't just about working in your pajamas (although that's definitely a perk). It's about freedom—the freedom to choose where you work, when you work, and who you work with.

Hey, I get it. Stepping into the world of freelancing can be scary. The fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of where your next paycheck will come from—it's enough to make you run right back to that 9-5. 


But here's the thing: freelancing can actually be MORE stable than a full-time job, AND you'll land clients and get money in the door faster than if you follow the traditional job application process. 

Drawing from my own journey as a freelancer, I'll share why I traded in the traditional 9-to-5 grind for the freedom of freelancing, and give you some insider tips on how to ensure you set yourself up for success so you can get paid well and avoid the starving artist stereotype. 

So whether you're considering freelancing as a side hustle or diving headfirst into full-time freelancing, tune in for some invaluable insights and tips to kickstart your freelancing journey. After all, the world is your oyster, and freelancing might just be the key to unlocking your dream life of freedom and flexibility.

It's time for another coaching podcast!

This time I'm bringing on Shannon Converse for a deep dive into the world of decision-making and finding balance as a digital nomad parent. Shannon is a member of the Move Abroad Crash Course, and after seeing her latest question in the Crash Course Facebook Group, I knew I needed to bring her in.

Shannon's at a crossroads, pondering whether to plant roots in one place overseas or take her family on a whirlwind adventure as digital nomads. With three kids in tow, she's seeking that delicate balance between consistent community and the freedom to travel anywhere anytime.

In this conversation, not only did we dive into which option is best for Shannon and her family, but we also got deep about prioritizing our own happiness and fulfillment as parents so we can better show up for our kids.

From fears over picking the "right" country, to travel FOMO, and anxiety over whether this lifestyle is good for kids, we cover a lot in this episode!

So grab a seat and tune in as we unravel the complexities of balancing family life, wanderlust, and the pursuit of happiness.

In today's episode, I'm spilling the beans on my exciting plans for the year ahead—running my business from not one, not two, but FIVE different countries!

Yep, you heard that right. From the bustling streets of Thailand to the sunny shores of Australia, a week in Japan, and some family time in the US, I'm gearing up for some epic adventures across the globe.

But let's be real—balancing work and travel across multiple time zones isn't always a walk in the park. I'll be sharing my top tips and tricks for staying productive and organized while jet-setting around the world.

And as if that weren't enough of an adventure, I'll also be navigating the wild world of travel with a little one in tow. This is my first time on a plane with Ava and... we're leaving for four months! 

But hey, amidst all the chaos and excitement, there's one thing I'm sure of: the freedom and flexibility that comes with running your own business. Being able to work from anywhere is truly a game-changer, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
