I left the Unites Staes to build a life that feels safer, slower, and more aligned with who I am. In this video, I share the real reasons I made the decision to leave the U.S., and why I don’t plan on going back.

As a Black woman, my experience in the U.S. shaped this choice in ways that are deeply personal. This isn’t about hate or bashing, it’s about honesty, peace, and choosing a life that allows me and my family to thrive.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, or like the life you want just isn’t possible where you are, this video is for you. I talk about what pushed me to leave, what life abroad has actually been like, and what I wish more people knew before making this kind of move.

If you’re curious about life outside the U.S., remote living, or what it really takes to start over somewhere new, you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here.

About the Creator:If you are new here. Welcome! I am Shibivia; a full-time business owner and entrepreneur, my husband is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. I walked away from my recent career as a Flight Attendant back in 2022 to pursue full-time entrepreneurship to have more time-freedom and peace of mind. I served 6 years in the United States Air Force Reserves. Shortly after leaving my Flight Attendant job in 2022, my husband and I took a month long sabbatical and traveled to Bali, Indonesia then Bangkok Thailand and simply fell in love. It was one of the most therapeutic experiences of my life. After visiting almost 30 countries, South East Asia definitely felt like home, and today - we get to call Thailand home..... At least for now. On this channel, I am sharing my lived experience as a wife, mom and entrepreneur living abroad and sharing helpful travel and income tips along the way.

As I wrap up my workday, I'm sharing some thoughts on how people are finding success with online business ideas, and doing more of the work they love vs a traditional 9-5 job.

More and more individuals are choosing to make money online through various ventures, including freelancing and launching their own online businesses. It's clear that pursuing work you love can often lead to greater financial rewards and the flexibility of working from home.For collabs and business inquiries: info@theshenicebryantconsulting.orgReady to launch your own loan business without lending your own money and without a fancy degree?
