Description

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.
