    111: The difference between people who move abroad… and the people who don’t

    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.

    110: 30 biggest myths Americans believe about moving abroad

    A lot of Americans dream about moving abroad, but most never take the first step because of the myths they’ve heard — about money, visas, jobs, language, safety, family expectations, and even career impact. These beliefs create fear and confusion long before people ever look into the actual requirements. In this episode, we break down the 30 biggest misconceptions that stop people from pursuing a life overseas and explain what’s true, what’s outdated, and what’s simply misunderstood. You’ll learn what actually matters, what doesn’t, and why moving abroad is far more realistic and attainable than many Americans realize. We also talk through the mindset shifts that help you move forward, the common fears that hold people back, and how to separate real obstacles from imagined ones. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what it takes to move abroad — and what might be unnecessarily keeping you stuck.

    109: Dating abroad: The beautiful, the brutal, and the unexpected truths no one tells you

    No one tells you that moving abroad means reinventing your romantic life too. In this episode, we dive into what dating abroad really looks like — the fun, the messy, the lonely, and the completely unexpected. We talk about the emotional reset that happens when you enter a new dating culture, the freedom (and isolation) of being single abroad, and the reality of trying to maintain long-distance love across time zones. You’ll also hear what it’s actually like to fall in love abroad — the intensity, the cultural clashes, the visa stress — and why heartbreak abroad might hit differently. We wrap with the real growth that happens when you date, break up, or even choose to be alone in a new country — and how the experience reshapes what you want in a partner and in yourself. If you want an honest look at love and dating overseas, this episode gives you the stories, insights, and practical advice most people never talk about.

    108: The truth about wanting more from your life (even when it’s "good enough")

    In this episode, we explore a question many Americans wrestle with when considering a move abroad: Can you be grateful for the life you have and still want something more? And is the grass actually greener on the other side? We dig into the guilt people feel for wanting a different lifestyle, even when their life in the U.S. is “good enough.” You’ll learn why gratitude and ambition can coexist, why wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful, and how that desire often signals growth. We also break down the truth behind the “grass is greener” conversation—when moving abroad genuinely offers a better fit, and when it’s unlikely to solve what you’re hoping it will. You’ll hear the real reasons people feel pulled toward Europe and other countries: alignment, expansion, lifestyle, and the permission to build a life that feels more intentional. If you’ve ever felt conflicted between appreciating your current life and craving a new chapter, this episode will give you clarity on what that desire actually means and whether exploring life abroad is worth it. 👉Take the free quiz: Which European city should you move to? 🤔 Grab my free guide: 5 exact steps to move abroad Website: jordangiberson.com Instagram: @jordan.giberson
