You’re Not Overreacting — You Might Just Need to Move Abroad

Ever been told you’re being dramatic for wanting to leave the U.S.? That things will “calm down after the next election”? Or that “every country has its problems”? Yeah… no.

In this episode, I’m diving headfirst into the myth that wanting to leave the U.S. makes you unpatriotic, overly sensitive, or delusional. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. You’re not overreacting — you’re just awake.

If you’ve hit that point where you’re done coping and ready to actually go, this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through the four-part framework I use with my clients to plan a move abroad that’s real, legal, and grounded in reality — not fairytales or filtered travel feeds.

From choosing the right country, understanding your visa options, and building a practical budget (yes, three types of budgets), to gathering the mountain of paperwork most people don’t talk about — I’m laying it all out.

This episode is your unapologetic permission slip to take your desire to leave seriously. Because choosing your peace, your family’s future, and your mental health? That’s not selfish — that’s survival.
