    #154 You Have 47 Tabs Open About Moving Abroad. Here's Why You Still Haven't Done It.

    If you’ve been “researching” moving abroad for months (or years) and still haven’t made it happen, this episode is for you.  Spoiler: you don’t have a research problem. You have a decision problem. The over-research rabbit hole is a hiding place, and the first step out of the rabbit hole is clarity. Let’s get you to finally move from thinking to doing. In this episode, we unpack: The D.R.E.A.M. modelHow research is your safety blanket. You’re not looking for more information, you’re looking for certainty and permission. Neither exists.You’re asking the wrong questions. “What can I do?” leads to paralysis. “What do I actually want my life to look like?” leads to decisions.The real fear isn’t lack of info — it’s making the wrong choice. But staying stuck costs more than learning from a few mistakes along the way.Information doesn’t create confidence - plans do.Not deciding is still a decision.Ask yourself this: if years of research haven’t moved you yet, why would more research help you now? If you’re ready to stop thinking about moving abroad and actually do it, I’ll see you inside the Escape Plan Bootcamp.

    #153 When the World Feels Like It’s On Fire: Fear Is Not a Move Abroad Plan

    Many Americans are feeling scared and desperate to leave the U.S. right now, and that fear makes sense. In this episode, we slow the panic and talk about how to move abroad intentionally, not reactively, so your move feels empowering instead of traumatic. We also discuss the important distinction between running away from the life you have versus running toward the life you want. In This Episode: Why fear-driven moves often feel heavy, rushed, and unsatisfyingA powerful question to clarify whether you truly want to leave (or you feel like you have to)How shifting from “I have to leave” to “I want to leave” restores agencyThe “first-not-forever” strategy for moving quickly without losing alignmentHow to use stepping-stone countries, easier visas, and interim plans to stay on trackYou don’t need to flee your life. You get to choose it. And you deserve a move abroad that feels intentional, expansive, and truly yours. If you’re ready to create a calm, clear, actionable plan, support is available.

    #152 We’re Not Here to F Spiders: An Unhinged Tour of Australia (with My Husband, Chris)

    Australian swearing, barefoot adults, kangaroo meat, and a husband who cannot be trusted with a microphone. We’re not here to f* spiders. Richelle and Chris break down the things you’d only know if you actually visited Australia - and yes, it gets weird fast. This is not a “should you move to Australia?” episode. This is the REAL deal: the food, the bugs, the language, and the cultural chaos no one warns you about. From eating kangaroo to drinking questionable wine out of a bag, this episode is fully unhinged (and deeply educational) in the most unserious way possible. This episode contains explicit language because Chris cannot be trusted not to swear, overshare, or explain Australian culture in a way that sounds sane. Topics include: Richelle’s dream of becoming the Beef QueenBarefoot adults just living lifeMeat raffles and why they’re a thingBugs, spiders, snakes, and emotional damageGoon of Fortune (unfortunately real)Australian swearing (why “mate” is an insult, and what you actually call your friends)Richelle’s driving anxietyWhy fairy bread is basically a sad Funfetti cupcakeAustralia is not for the weak.

    #151 Five Real Move Abroad Mistakes I See All the Time (That Cost People Time, Money, or Both)

    There’s no shortage of advice online about moving abroad, and most of it sounds responsible and well-intentioned. But after helping hundreds of people plan real moves across different countries, visas, timelines, and life situations, I’ve noticed something important: Moves rarely fall apart because people aren’t serious enough. They fall apart because of a handful of very common, reasonable mistakes - the kind you don’t even realize you’re making. In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 mistakes I see all the time: Why getting attached to one “dream country” too early can derail your optionsHow considering rent instead of your entire budget leads to unnecessary financial panicHow trying to DIY a visa creates more stress, delays, and expensesWhy visas, taxes, and business structure must be looked at together (not one at a time)The simple reminder to keep you from postponing your move forever: you can always fly home.If any of these sound familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It means you’re doing something big, and you’re learning how to do it better. Remember: You don’t need perfection or certainty. Moving to another country requires flexibility, quality information, and intentional decisions made in the right order.

    #150 The Move Abroad Rules Are Fake (Here’s What Actually Matters)

    What if the thing holding you back from moving abroad isn’t visas, money, or logistics, but rather, trying to follow someone else’s version of freedom? We’re unpacking why there’s no one “right” way to move abroad, and how to design a freedom-first lifestyle that actually fits you. In this episode, we break down: Why the popular “sell everything, move to Spain, digital nomad visa forever” narrative can be limitingHow online stories create rules that don’t have to apply to your lifeA real client example showing how not choosing one country can be the most freeing move for some peopleThe power of hybridity: splitting time between the U.S. and abroad How to redefine success as freedom, flexibility, and choice (not permanence)There are no rules, only choices. The goal isn’t necessarily moving abroad forever; it’s creating your freedom life. Consider what you really want, then do just that.

    #148 Your 2026 Freedom Life Plan: How to Set Goals That Match Who You’re Becoming

    It’s the first week of January and I love that fresh-start energy where everything feels possible. In this episode, I’m ditching hustle-y, pressure-filled goal setting and exploring a more aligned approach: becoming the person who naturally lives the life you want. Instead of forcing goals through willpower, I introduce a new approach—identity shifts, future-self alignment, and fun, low-pressure ways to make 2026 feel expansive, not exhausting. In this episode I share: Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout (and what to do instead)How identity—not motivation—is the missing link to real changeWhy moving abroad, scaling your business, or working less starts with who you believe you arA reframe on vision boards that focuses on becoming, not achievingGoal Bingo: a playful, pressure-free way to design a life you actually want to liveIf you’re ready for 2026 to be about becoming, not hustling, then this episode is a must listen!
