Critical tips for starting over in life: Moving abroad gives you permission to change. It doesn't guarantee you will. Permission looks like: * Nobody knows your history * No one has expectations of who you should be * Your old identity doesn't follow you * You can try new behaviors without judgment But permission isn't the same as transformation. Plenty of people get permission to start over and choose not to use it. They recreate their old social dynamics with new people. They fall back into familiar coping mechanisms. They avoid the discomfort of growth by staying exactly who they were. Just in a different country. That's why some expats thrive and others are miserable in the same city. It's not about the city. It's about whether they used the move as a catalyst for change or just a change of address. Starting over requires you to actually START OVER. Not just move your old self to a new location and hope proximity to better circumstances fixes you. Link in bio if you're ready to use the move as the beginning of real change, not the shortcut around it. ๐๐บ๐ธ #creatorsearchinsights

You can't escape yourself by moving countries, just because you've changed everything about your life by putting an ocean between you and your old home does not mean you will automatically become a different version of yourself. You have to choose to become a new person as you move abroad. For myself, I know there was a lot of things with my mindset and how I took care of myself that I needed to shift as I moved abroad. But the reality is, I was able to make the changes to become a different version of myself because of what moving abroad did for me. It allowed me to create my life from scratch. I got to design what my life looks like. I got to pick where I lived in relation to my kids' school. I got to pick what my life was going to look like on a daily basis. I got to choose where I'm going to go to the gym, what kind of foods I'm going to put in my body because I'm not in constant survival mode. So while it still was work for myself to choose a new mindset and become that new better version of myself, it also was aided by the fact that I was not stuck in a totally toxic situation like the United States has become. They're given this clean slate, this fresh start where they get to pick things from the ground up and you can really tell the people who have moved abroad and have picked things that they actually want and would benefit from and the ones that created a life based on other people's expectations and just basically carried their American version of themselves over to the new country and are just like gritting and burying it and just pushing through but not actually living because of the decisions that they made and they got themselves stuck in situations that are not designed fully by them. They're really just outside influence in a new location but that's what you're trying to avoid when you're moving abroad is creating that American stuckness in the new country. Moving to a new country is really an opportunity to start over and create that life from scratch. So you don't want to foul it up and muck it up with your outside influences taking over your new location and I can help you work on that. I'm Veronica and I'm an exit plan coach. I help you create your American exit strategy where you're figuring out what you're going to do in a new country, everything from what country that's going to be to what is your new life on the ground going to look like and now that I've lived on three different continents with my family of four I have a pretty good idea of what to do and what not to do based on making a lot of mistakes myself but I'd love the opportunity to help you get out of the United States and create a new life for yourself abroad. There's links to work with me and my bio.

If picking a new country was as easy as comparing crime statistics and educational outcomes, than obviously that country would be overrun with expats. The best countries to move to are not one size fits all. Before you get your hopes up about any particular country, I suggest you take a step back. Determine your visa eligibility first. Some countries are trying to attract retirees. Other countries are welcoming digital nomads. And there are countries only looking for wealthy expats. Your income type and amount will determine what countries will take you. Schedule your exit plan call if youโre ready to stop daydreaming and start packing. #creatorsearchinsights

The life you've built in America isn't the life you wanted. It's the life you could scrape together under constraints of: wages that don't cover basics, healthcare tied to employment, housing costs consuming half your income, constant financial stress, survival mode as default state. You didn't choose misery. You chose best option available within impossible constraints. But those constraints are geographic. Change geography, change constraints, change what's possible. The apartment you can barely afford in America becomes the nice place with breathing room abroad. The paycheck that barely covers survival in America becomes the income that allows saving abroad. The constant stress about one emergency destroying you financially becomes manageable situation where emergencies are expensive but not catastrophic. Same income. Same skills. Same person. Different location. Completely different life. You're not stuck because you lack resources. You're stuck because resources you have don't work in location you're in. Move those resources to location where they work better, and you're not stuck anymore. But moving requires: tolerating uncertainty about how things will work out, being uncomfortable while figuring out new systems, releasing familiar patterns even when familiar is miserable, trusting you can build better life from scratch. Most people choose familiar misery over unfamiliar uncertainty. Devil you know feels safer than devil you don't, even when devil you know is grinding you down. This is why people stay in: jobs they hate, relationships that don't work, locations that don't serve them, lives that feel like slow suffocation. Because at least they know how to survive current misery. Unknown is terrifying even when unknown might be better. But what if you're not choosing between misery and uncertainty? What if you're choosing between: familiar misery that will continue indefinitely, or temporary uncertainty that leads to actually building life you want? When you're in survival mode, you're making choices based on: what's cheapest, what's fastest, what gets you through next month, what keeps crisis at bay. Not what you actually want. What you can manage given constraints. Those choices compound into life that doesn't reflect your preferences. Reflects what you could piece together while drowning. But when you move somewhere your income works better, you're not in survival mode anymore. You have breathing room to choose based on: what you actually want, what serves your family, what creates life you're proud of. That's not small difference. That's the difference between life you're enduring and life you're choosing. Living in America isn't default you're stuck with. It's choice you're making every day by not choosing differently. And choosing differently is available to you. Link in bio for people ready to choose. What would you choose if survival wasn't consuming all your energy? ๐๐บ๐ธ
