Whew! In this episode, I’m spilling ALL the tea on our recent "island life" adventure that had me ready to pack up and peace outta the U.S. — until reality slapped me in the face with $8 spaghetti sauce, random power outages, and dengue fever from mosquitoes?! 😳
After dreaming for years about moving abroad, my hubby got a pharmacy job offer on a Caribbean island — and we thought this was our “expat era.” But babyyyy, from overpriced groceries and trash-hauling DIYs to military showers and trailers-as-hospitals, the island life had me screaming "GIRL, STOP PLAYIN!"
💡 Tune in as I share the laughs, lessons, and God’s not-so-subtle reminder that just because it looks good, doesn’t mean it’s for you.
In this episode:
- Our attempt to live that dreamy "passport princess" life
- What nobody tells you about moving to the Caribbean
- How being grateful for what you already have is the real flex
- Why trusting God’s plan over your Pinterest board is essential!
👑 Whether you’re planning your next escape or just curious about what it’s really like to live abroad — this episode will have you clutching your WiFi and air conditioning, sis.
