It’s been a while since I’ve done a solo episode – and even more mad that I’m recording this one from France 🇫🇷
In this episode, I’m giving a bit of a life update and chatting through everything from why I moved, to how I got here (with my guinea pig, Spud, in tow), and what I’ve learned along the way.
Here’s what I cover:
Why I finally made the move to France – something I’d dreamed of for years but had nearly written off
How a big breakup led me to therapy, which completely changed my life
Wanting to run away at first… then realising I actually wanted to move for me
Travelling the hard way (because of course I did), including a very unplanned “well-planned” journey
Having just 10 days to rethink everything and settling on Perpignan
The emotional toll of putting yourself first when you’re not used to doing it
Bringing Spud across countries while my amazing parents carried the suitcase
Learning to settle into a new place, without speaking the language
The reality of social anxiety when you don’t have the words
Choosing to have a beginner’s mindset when it comes to speaking French
The joy of making your own schedule and not having to adjust for anyone else
A little challenge for you to try putting yourself first — or spend some time alone and see how it feels
And a reminder: just be yourself, and stop worrying about what anyone else thinks
Whether you’re thinking about a big change, working on yourself, or just curious about life abroad — this one’s a personal one, and I hope you enjoy it.
