Moving For Smarties, hosted by Mariette Frey of Mariette’s On The Move, started as an interview-driven podcast exploring the real stories behind relocation, reinvention, and life transitions. Across 60+ conversations with first-time homebuyers, repeat movers, industry experts, and everyday people navigating major life changes, this show opens the curtain on what moving is really like—from the joyful and exciting to the unexpected, chaotic, and downright overwhelming.
In the first 60 episodes, the show dives into the human side of moving: identity shifts, decision-making, financial realities, emotional resilience, community building, and the brave moment when someone decides, “It’s time to go.” These episodes are long-form, honest, and full of lived experience you won’t find in a checklist.
Moving forward, we're excited to bring you the more educational, structured, step-by-step side of relocation, and changing our name to Moving For Smarties. This show is built as a bingeable class on YouTube and we're making it available everywhere you listen as well. We take the full FRED Framework journey (Finances, Robustness, Ecosystem, Dreams) through curated playlist paths that guide your decision-making from the ground up.
Both shows work together:
• (The old) Mariette’s On The Move = real conversations and lived experiences.
• (The new) Moving For Smarties = the coaching, tools, and frameworks to help you make a values-aligned move.
Whether you’re preparing for a move, considering a major life shift, or simply love hearing the behind-the-scenes stories of people rebuilding their lives, you’re in the right place.
For deeper support, join The Smart Move Society, a community that offers group coaching, 1:1 coaching options, workshops, and city-focused guidance to help you relocate with confidence. Find it on our website.

Relocating can be smoother with smart planning. Start early, declutter ruthlessly, and label everything clearly. Use sturdy, eco-friendly supplies like reusable moving bins to avoid cardboard chaos. Services like https://www.jpurbanmoving.com/services/moving-bins/ offer convenient rentals that simplify packing and reduce waste. Don’t forget to create a first-night essentials box with toiletries, chargers, and snacks to make settling in easier.
