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.

Why do some people uproot their lives, move abroad, and thrive — while others stay stuck dreaming about it for years? In this episode, we break down the real difference between the people who make the move… and the people who don’t. And it has nothing to do with personality, luck, or being “naturally adventurous.”

I walk through the mindset traits that separate the doers from the dreamers — the people who take gritty, imperfect action versus the ones who wait for the perfect plan. We cover how movers build confidence through small wins, handle fear differently, ignore the naysayers, and protect their dream until it’s strong enough to share. You’ll hear why identity plays a bigger role than logistics, how future-based decision making works, and why emotional resilience matters more than knowing every step upfront.

If you’ve been thinking about moving abroad but haven’t started, this episode will help you understand what’s been holding you back — and what to shift so you can finally take action.

At the end, I’ll prompt you to reflect on which mover traits you already embody and which ones you want to strengthen.
