The Move Abroad Coach Podcast Richelle - your Move Abroad Coach

So you want to build a business that will support you when you move abroad? But how do you juggle a side hustle with a full-time job when you're already so busy?

Is the path of the side hustle right for you, or should you go all in, move abroad somewhere more affordable, and get started there?

Either way - here's what's crucial: Prioritizing getting clients and making money. It's about taking action rather than getting lost in perfecting your website or Instagram.

In this episode, I'm going to share my mistakes and lessons learned and dive into the importance of focusing on key business elements like niche, pricing, marketing, and launch strategy.

If you're ready to build your freedom business, I'm here to help. Let's take action and turn your side hustle dreams into reality.

In this episode, we're diving deep into the realities of balancing work and travel as a digital nomad. I'll be sharing my personal journey and the insights I've gathered over years of traveling the world as a digital nomad to help you enjoy your travel lifestyle without constant work stress or FOMO.

Finding the right balance between work and travel is key. How do you explore the world and move every few months (or weeks) while also getting your work done?  We'll explore the concept of being a 'slowmad' - staying in each location for a few months to allow for a deeper work-life balance. We'll also dive into the importance of managing expectations and FOMO, trusting that your future self can revisit destinations and experiences.

Tune in to discover how to make the most out of your digital nomad lifestyle while staying productive and growing your career.

 Happy travels and productive work sessions, my friend!

Let's be real: moving abroad is hard.
But here's the thing - so is staying exactly where you are right now.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a crucial mindset shift: the concept of "choosing your hard".

Is your comfort zone actually all that comfortable? Is your life right now really all that 'easy'?

Personally, I'd rather put in a little hard work now to create the life I want, and get a little uncomfortable to have a life that's aligned to me.

Now, let's bust some myths, shall we? Freelancing isn't just about working in your pajamas (although that's definitely a perk). It's about freedom—the freedom to choose where you work, when you work, and who you work with.


Hey, I get it. Stepping into the world of freelancing can be scary. The fear of the unknown, the uncertainty of where your next paycheck will come from—it's enough to make you run right back to that 9-5. 


But here's the thing: freelancing can actually be MORE stable than a full-time job, AND you'll land clients and get money in the door faster than if you follow the traditional job application process. 


Drawing from my own journey as a freelancer, I'll share why I traded in the traditional 9-to-5 grind for the freedom of freelancing, and give you some insider tips on how to ensure you set yourself up for success so you can get paid well and avoid the starving artist stereotype. 


So whether you're considering freelancing as a side hustle or diving headfirst into full-time freelancing, tune in for some invaluable insights and tips to kickstart your freelancing journey. After all, the world is your oyster, and freelancing might just be the key to unlocking your dream life of freedom and flexibility.

It's time for another coaching podcast!
This time I'm bringing on Shannon Converse for a deep dive into the world of decision-making and finding balance as a digital nomad parent. Shannon is a member of the Move Abroad Crash Course, and after seeing her latest question in the Crash Course Facebook Group, I knew I needed to bring her in.
Shannon's at a crossroads, pondering whether to plant roots in one place overseas or take her family on a whirlwind adventure as digital nomads. With three kids in tow, she's seeking that delicate balance between consistent community and the freedom to travel anywhere anytime.
In this conversation, not only did we dive into which option is best for Shannon and her family, but we also got deep about prioritizing our own happiness and fulfillment as parents so we can better show up for our kids.
From fears over picking the "right" country, to travel FOMO, and anxiety over whether this lifestyle is good for kids, we cover a lot in this episode!
So grab a seat and tune in as we unravel the complexities of balancing family life, wanderlust, and the pursuit of happiness.
