    #85 Beyond the US Election: How Global Politics Impact Your Life Abroad

    · The Move Abroad Coach Podcast

    It's Election Day in the USA!!

    Today, we’re diving into the complex and sometimes unsettling role politics plays when moving abroad. For many of you, U.S. politics might be one of the main reasons you’re considering a fresh start in a new country. But how much should local politics impact your decision—and what happens when you move abroad and realize politics follow you?

    In this episode, we’ll discuss:

    Why many Americans are choosing to move abroad due to political divisiveness—and how they navigate their top concerns like healthcare, safety, and individual freedoms.The reality of politics abroad, including my own experience living in places with vastly different political landscapes, like China and Georgia.Practical tips for deciding how important political alignment is in choosing a destination, especially for expats with specific needs like LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare access, or overall safety.Why every country has its own set of political realities—there’s no “perfect” place—and how to find a place where you can thrive even with inevitable trade-offs.Global politics and their impact: how worldwide events, from wars to mass migration, ripple through every corner of the globe.

    Plus, I’ll share my perspective on the recent election in Georgia and the impact of ongoing conflicts, like the war in Ukraine, on expat life in the country.

    Whether you’re hoping to escape the U.S. political climate or just want to find a better fit, this episode will help you navigate how politics shape your life abroad.

    Oh... and if you haven't voted yet, what are you waiting for? Get your butt to the polls.

    · The Move Abroad Coach Podcast

    “What if I move abroad and it doesn’t fix my life?”

    If you wake up at 2am with this thought coursing through your mind, you’re not alone. Many people dream of starting over in a new country, hoping it will bring them the happiness or fulfillment they feel is missing. But there’s often a nagging fear: What if I still don’t feel fulfilled? What if the grass isn’t greener on the other side?

    In today’s episode, we’re diving headfirst into this fear. We’ll explore why moving abroad might not solve all your problems—and why that’s okay. I’ll share practical advice for finding happiness and fulfillment no matter where you are, along with my personal story as an Enneagram 7 who’s constantly chasing “the next big thing” I'm SURE will make me happy.

    I’ll also share how I struggled with these same feelings while living abroad and how I’ve learned to be present and appreciate the here and now—without the pressure of traditional gratitude lists (because, let’s be honest, those can feel a bit forced).

    Bonus: If you’ve been dreaming of moving abroad but still don't have a concrete plan in place to make it happen, my Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp is for you! This 4-day live event will guide you step-by-step in creating a personalized plan for your move—whether it’s choosing the right country, figuring out how to fund your life abroad, or setting a timeline that makes sense.

    It's time for a brand new Ask a Move Abroad Coach episode!

    In today's bonus session, we dive deep into a coaching call with my incredible Freedom Life coaching client, Cynthia Martinez. Cynthia is on a journey to build her consulting business while overcoming burnout and maintaining her enthusiasm, and I'm here to coach her through the challenges she faces along the way.

    Cynthia's story is one of resilience and determination. She transitioned from a corporate position to entrepreneurship after unexpectedly losing her job. This leap of faith opened doors she never imagined possible but also involves the challenges of meeting financial requirements for a digital nomad visa and escaping the high cost of living in the US.

    In this episode, Cynthia and I tackle some of the biggest hurdles she faces, like navigating burnout, conquering imposter syndrome, and finding ways to build a steady pipeline of clients. We'll discuss strategies for managing finances and building a thriving business without hustling ourselves into the ground. We’ll also explore how to handle the fear of taking on too much work, the importance of setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care.

    So, grab your notepad, and join us for this coaching session packed with practical advice and inspiration!
