=====
Expatriation
- Once you leave where you grew up, it’s hard to find that sense of belonging again
- You’re a foreigner in a new place (expatriation) and also when you go back “home” (repatriation)
- Learn to be at home wherever you are
- Both you and the places you leave behind change
- If you go back home, approach it as another expatriation
- Learn to be at home with people rather than places
“A Great Move” Book
- People who voluntarily move do so for 3 primary reasons: career/prospects, love, adventure
- The attitude of the adventurer is wonderful but can lead to being unprepared
- Understanding transition stages (honeymoon, crisis, recovery, adjustment)
- Personality traits affect the emotional impact
- Creating home is a key pillar of feeling stable and grounded
Being Stuck
- Factors that affect us: values, expectations, growth, partner, environment
- Some circumstances can keep us stuck, but 90% is about how we approach it (Mindset)
- Focusing on the barriers versus focusing on your goals or vision
- Conditioning (upbringing, labels, roles, events) matters and shapes us
Reinvention Roadmap
- Establish a healthy baseline
- Reconnect with ourselves
- Align with values, vision, and purpose
- Build momentum with baby steps
- Deal with saboteurs
- Sustain the reinvented person

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
