The Real Reason You Can’t Stop Thinking About Moving Abroad

This is the episode where I say the quiet thing out loud:

You’re not thinking about moving abroad because you want adventure or aesthetics or to live your “best life in Europe.” You’re thinking about moving abroad because something deep in your body has realized you can’t keep living the way you are now.

This isn’t escapism.

It’s Maslow’s hierarchy.

Your foundational needs aren’t being met anymore — safety, stability, belonging, identity — and your nervous system is trying to move you toward someplace where you can actually breathe.

And yes, it’s scary.

And disorienting.

And you probably feel guilty for wanting something more.

But you’re not crazy.

You’ve outgrown your life.

This episode is the grounding.

The “you’re not alone.”

The “you’re not making this up.”

The “you’re allowed to want the exhale.”

We’re talking about how the body knows before the mind does, how to listen when your life starts feeling too small, and why moving abroad scared is still moving abroad.

No hype.

No fantasy.

Just truth.
