In this episode, Taniel sits down with Michelle Wedderburn, an entrepreneur in San Miguel de Allende—a vibrant mountain town far from Mexico’s famous beaches, but rich in culture and community. Michelle shares her deeply personal journey from Toronto and the U.S. to Mexico, explaining what inspired her to create a life filled with freedom, purpose, and possibility south of the border.

As a parent motivated by safety, cultural diversity, and her son’s future, Michelle navigated the challenges of raising a child abroad, from finding the right school to helping him adapt and thrive in a new language and environment. She also sheds light on her leap into entrepreneurship, detailing how her experiences became the foundation for a unique relocation service that now helps others make a successful transition to life in San Miguel.

Through heartfelt stories and practical advice, you’ll gain valuable insights into expat life in the heart of Mexico, discover what it’s really like to move with children, and learn how Michelle’s Casa Elm has become a hub for those seeking community and actionable guidance for their own retirement dreams. Whether you’re daydreaming about your next chapter or actively planning your move, this episode is packed with the kind of first-hand wisdom you won’t want to miss!
