The Limits Aren’t Real: What Running a Half Marathon Taught Me About Fear, Waiting, and Moving Abroad
Description
A few weeks ago, I ran a half marathon — something I almost didn’t even sign up for. And somewhere between mile six and mile ten, I realized I wasn’t just racing my body… I was racing my beliefs about what I could handle.
That run became a mirror for how so many of us approach our move abroad — full of invisible limits we call “logic” or “being practical,” when it’s really just fear wearing a responsible-looking spreadsheet.
In this episode, I’m pulling apart what “waiting for the right time” really means, how fear quietly brands itself as caution, and why the biggest thing holding you back isn’t money, timing, or visas — it’s you moving your own damn goalposts.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your move abroad, this is it.
I’ll share:
- How I learned the difference between fear and facts
- Why “someday” is the most expensive word in your vocabulary
- What happens when you stop branding fear as logic
- And how to start — even if you’re scared, broke, or not “ready” yet
Because the truth is, you don’t need permission, perfect timing, or another spreadsheet.
You just need to start running your own race.
Let’s go.
