Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same loop of overthinking - waiting for “the right moment” or a lightning bolt of clarity before making a big life decision?

In this solo episode of This Expat Life, I share the 4-part framework that I use myself and have taught to dozens of overthinking expats to start new chapters in a global life. I talk about what helped us move forward, what true clarity actually looks like, and how to make decisions that feel aligned, calm, and authentic.

If you’ve been spinning in indecision, whether about a job, a move, or your next chapter abroad, this episode will help you reconnect with yourself, move forward with confidence, and reclaim your power to choose.

Have you ever found yourself lying awake at night, circling the question: “Should I stay or should I go?”

In this solo episode of This Expat Life, I uncover the six most common mistakes career-driven expats make when facing big life decisions - mistakes I’ve seen over and over again in my clients, and lived through myself. Whether your crossroads is sparked by a visa, a job, or a quiet inner nudge for change, chances are you’ll recognize yourself in at least one of these.

And now that you are aware you might be making one or more of the mistakes… You can avoid them and start making progress on getting your answer to the Expat Dilemma.

If you’ve been stuck circling the same options, talking yourself in loops, or waiting for the “perfect” answer, this episode will help you see new ways forward - with more calm, confidence, and clarity.

Have you ever found yourself lying awake at night, whispering the question: “Should I stay or should I go?” I bet you have!

In this solo episode of This Expat Life, I dive into one of the biggest dilemmas expats face: the tug-of-war between staying where you are, moving on to a new chapter, or returning home. What I’ve seen through my coaching (and lived myself) is that this question isn’t just about location - it’s about identity, belonging, and the version of yourself you want to grow into.

Together we’ll explore:

 ✨ The Expat Paradox: why life abroad can look perfect on the outside but feel unfulfilled inside

 ✨ The Expat Dilemma: how one decision about work, relationships, or location can spiral into a web of options

 ✨ The 3 most common ways this dilemma shows up for expats

 ✨ Why overthinking keeps you stuck - and how decisions don’t have to take years

If you’re stuck at a crossroads in your expat life and wondering which path is truly right for you, this episode is for you.

And need a little more help?

Have you ever gone back to a place where you once lived, only to feel both comforted and strangely disconnected?

In this solo episode of This Expat Life, I share my recent experiences of returning to Rio de Janeiro and London, two cities that were once deeply important in my global journey. What I found was a mix of nostalgia, distance, and clarity about how much I’ve grown since living there.

Together we’ll explore:

 ✨ Why revisiting a former home can feel both familiar and foreign

 ✨ The role of nostalgia and why it’s not always the best reason to move back

 ✨ How to know if “going back” fits your current chapter

 ✨ What it means to create an inner home when your sense of belonging is scattered across countries

 ✨ Why accepting all parts of yourself (even the shadow sides) is the foundation of true belonging

If you’ve ever returned to a previous home or are thinking about it, this episode is for you.

It feels like forever since my last solo episode! After our wonderful Global Woman Summer Series, I'm back with some deeply personal reflections from what has been the most amazing and intensive summer.

This summer was intense, inspiring, and unforgettable. Between road-tripping through California, a 48-hour visit to Rio, hosting a coaching dinner for 26 women in London, and saying yes to my very first TV interview, I realized there's so much I want to share with you as we transition into this new season. In this episode, I break down five major reflections that stood out for me and what I'm taking into the fall.

These insights are for you if you're someone with a busy, packed life who struggles to hear your inner voice, if you're seeking the right community to accelerate your growth, or if you're someone who adapts easily but wants to build a stronger inner foundation. And more importantly, if you're ready to recognize that you might already be living elements of your dream life RIGHT NOW.

I also share why I'm focusing more on This Expat Life and growing this community - because I want to connect with YOU more!

👉 I'd love to hear about YOUR summer reflections! What topics do you want to hear more about on the show? Who should I interview next? You can let me know by responding in the Spotify app, sending me an email, or connecting with me on Instagram @AmandaMaxime - I read (and respond to) every message myself!

The last episode of The Global Woman Summer Series!

---

In this honest, open-hearted conversation, Anne and I swap the kind of stories you usually only share with a trusted friend: love bombing, ghosting, dating culture shocks, and the relief of finally meeting someone who’s just as intentional as you are.

We also talk about turning 40, rethinking motherhood when the “default” version doesn’t inspire you, and navigating long-distance love when visas and timelines are still uncertain, but trust runs deep. After all, dating & relationships aren't simple as a global woman.

This is a conversation about clarity, courage, and creating space for the love - and the life! - you actually want. If you are a global woman and are rethinking your path to motherhood, navigating a long-distance relationship, or simply ready to stop settling, we hope that you’ll find both honesty and hope as we open up.

We would love to hear what you took away from this episode. Find Anne on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/_ipromiseitwontbeboring_?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==

Episode 5 of The Global Woman Series! This summer, every week you’ll get to listen to an honest conversation with a woman navigating life between worlds. The women I interview are inspiring, authentic and an example in leading themselves - all in their own way - and I can’t wait to share the convos! Make sure to subscribe to not miss an episode.

When I came across Anne’s viral reel in which she openly shared about taking a leap of faith into the unknown, I knew I had to invite her for the show. She shared openly + authentically about the other side of this global life beyond the adventure & excitement - not having a stable base, long distance relationships, and supporting yourself in petrifying leaps of relocation - which many of us know too. In our interview, Anne gets real about embracing the 'messy middle,' her dating disasters in London, the magnetic pull of California, and how she found the love of her life, Harman, across continents at 39. Tune in for an inspiring and honest conversation about following your heart, rolling with life's punches, and finding home wherever you are in the world.

And next up is the inspiring brand provocateur & Mexico City fan girl Erica Reitman! I’ve been following Erica for years and her vibrant energy & creativity has inspired me SO much - in my business, but also in my life abroad and back home again. I knew a conversation with her on the podcast would contain so many nuggets of wisdom & inspiration - and I was right.

In this episode, Erica shares all about her expat life in Mexico - which isn’t just one chapter… After spending a few years in Mexico and then trying for a year to settle back in the US again, Erica realized her home country wasn’t the right place for her now. So she & her husband decided to move back to their beloved Mexico City (happening right as we speak) - raising a lot of questions from others who are trying to understand why they’re ‘coming back’ on their decision.

Erica shares openly how she felt in the US, what helped her make this big decision, and how she continues to build her self-trust. Moreover, we also talk about how you can set up your home space so that it truly inspires you (even if it’s furnished!) and about Erica’s hack of ‘merching’ her life. 

I absolutely loved this conversation and the vibrant energy that Erica brought with her. I hope you enjoy this episode.
