113: Things people will say when you tell them you’re moving abroad (and how you should respond to them)

If you’ve ever told someone you’re thinking about moving abroad, you already know what happens next—everyone has an opinion.

In this episode, we talk about the most common reactions people have when you say you’re moving abroad, why those comments show up, and what’s really behind them. From “Is it safe?” to “Aren’t you scared?” to “Why would you leave?”, these reactions are almost universal—and they’re rarely about you.

You’ll learn:

• The most common things people say when you tell them you’re moving abroad
• Why fear, insecurity, and misunderstanding drive these comments
• How to respond without defending, overexplaining, or second-guessing yourself
• How to stay confident when friends, family, or coworkers doubt your decision
• How to separate genuine concern from projected fear and negativity

If you’re feeling discouraged, second-guessing your plans, or wondering why your excitement isn’t always met with support—this episode is for you.
