Everywhere you live has trade offs. In the U.S. you sacrifice safety for economic opportunity. For our family, we weren’t willing to live with that risk. Moving across the world gave us a sense of calm and freedom that is worth the loss of income potential. No amount of money could ever make up for the possibility that our kid could be gunned down at school in America. I don’t let parents pretend to be ignorant to the reality of gun violence in schools. You can’t just pretend you don’t realize that’s a possibility everyday you send your kids to school. Either admit you are wiling to take the risk or do something about it. The something we did was to move abroad where school shootings don’t happen. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

Here's the first thing you need to know about moving across the world. It's not brave, it's honest. And honesty is harder than bravery. Being honest that the life that you've built in the United States is not the life that you want, is a tough pill to swallow. You're admitting that the things that you've done in the past haven't brought you happiness, and you aren't in a place that you want to stay. The mortgages, the commute, the expectations, the rules, the lack of safety. All of the things that the United States provides or doesn't provide isn't making you happy. So you pack your bags and you move across the world, not because you're brave, but because you're trying to find alignment. You're trying to find somewhere that fits your heart and your mind and your values. And that place exists out there, and that place exists out there. Once you find it, you're going to wonder why you waited so long to go looking for it. Everyone I work with wonders why they didn't move sooner. I haven't met anyone after leaping abroad for five years, whoever thought I should have waited and moved later. They all say, I should have done this so many years ago, why did I wait so long? And the reason you wait so long is because being honest with yourself, that life isn't how you wanted it, is a big hit to your ego. It's embarrassing to admit that you weren't able to make it in the United States. I'll go ahead and admit right here publicly that life in America was not worth the trade-offs that the United States requires. My husband and I had to get really honest with each other, that the economic opportunities that were available in the United States that are supposedly the best in the world were not worth the trade-off of sending our kids to school every day, where there could be gun violence. That's it. That was not worth the trade-off. That was us getting honest with ourselves, that that was the trade-off. That's what America requires of you. If you are a parent, is to send your kid to school, where they could be gunned down, in order to have this supposed economic benefit out of it. If you're ready to get honest with yourself and figure out how moving across the world can get you into alignment, I hope with that. We're going to exit plan consultation and I will help you figure out how your life can match visa processes all over the world and help you escape the chaos of the United States.
