Summary

Today’s episode is for anyone who’s seriously considered packing their bags and leaving the United States. Whether it's for a better quality of life, a slower pace, or political reasons, moving abroad is a dream for many, but it’s also a complex journey.

Joining us is Stacy Ennis, bestselling author, writing coach, and expat living in Portugal. Stacy has lived in four countries outside the U.S., and she’s become an unofficial expert on relocating abroad sustainably, not impulsively.

In our conversation, we’ll dive into the practical, financial, and emotional realities of moving abroad. What are the biggest challenges? How do you ensure you're making this move for the right reasons? And what misconceptions do Americans often have about living in another country? If you’ve ever dreamed of starting over in a beachside town or exploring a new culture, Stacy’s insights are invaluable.
