  • Summary

  • Alright, fam, buckle up because today, I’m dishing ALL the tea on what nobody tells you about moving abroad. Yep, I uprooted my cozy life in Austin, Texas, and moved the entire fam-bam halfway across the world to Dubai. And let me tell you—it has been a rollercoaster. The good, the challenging, the straight-up shocking—I’m laying it all out for you in this solo Soulcast. From the unexpected joys (hello, next-level safety and international community vibes) to the straight-up struggles (mamas, jet-lagged toddlers starting school two days post-move—what was I thinking?!), this episode is for anyone who's ever considered shaking things up and saying YES to a whole new adventure. Let’s get into it! What you'll get out of this episode… Moving abroad is thrilling but requires resilience for growth. Moving abroad shocks your system—prioritize rest, not just logistics. Kids are resilient, but routine is crucial. Dubai life is next-level for safety, support, and opportunities. A strong foundation is key, or the glam will overwhelm you. Before moving, assess your network, trust your gut, and embrace adventure.
