108: The truth about wanting more from your life (even when it’s "good enough")

In this episode, we explore a question many Americans wrestle with when considering a move abroad: Can you be grateful for the life you have and still want something more? And is the grass actually greener on the other side?

We dig into the guilt people feel for wanting a different lifestyle, even when their life in the U.S. is “good enough.” You’ll learn why gratitude and ambition can coexist, why wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful, and how that desire often signals growth.

We also break down the truth behind the “grass is greener” conversation—when moving abroad genuinely offers a better fit, and when it’s unlikely to solve what you’re hoping it will. You’ll hear the real reasons people feel pulled toward Europe and other countries: alignment, expansion, lifestyle, and the permission to build a life that feels more intentional.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted between appreciating your current life and craving a new chapter, this episode will give you clarity on what that desire actually means and whether exploring life abroad is worth it.
