Like me, Emily recently followed her heart and ambitions to move abroad. I went east to England and she went south to Brazil. In this episode, we have a good chat about our experiences of an international move, how it turns out we manifested said moves, and living our best ex-pat lives. (Recorded Autumn 2022)

In this episode, I catch up with one of my absolute favourite people, voiceover artist and digital nomad Claire Lindsay. It's been a while since we had a proper catch-up, but our Libra-Saggitarius connection is as strong as it ever was. It's an episode filled with laughter and fun, where we chat personal development, yoga, surviving divorce and changing the relationship we have with our finances. 
Claire Lindsay is a Canadian actor, voiceover artist, adventure seeker, and entrepreneur who has been passionately following a path of spiritual growth and healing for over ten years. Integrating the valuable tools she's gained from acting and personal development into her life, she has seen a direct shift into a life lived in trust, grounding, authenticity, creativity, and joy.
