Moving abroad is an exciting, life-changing decision—but what happens when guilt, doubt, and other people’s opinions start creeping in? Whether it’s family members questioning your move, friends who don’t understand, or your own inner voice telling you to ‘be responsible,’ setting boundaries and standing firm can feel really hard.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tiffani Barton, a coach who helps recovering "nice girls" (and yes, nice boys, too!) break free from people-pleasing and speak up for what they actually want.
Together, we dive into:
✔️ The biggest struggles nice people face when making big life changes
✔️ How to navigate difficult conversations about your move abroad
✔️ Why guilt is not a good reason to stay stuck
✔️ How to set boundaries with confidence (without feeling like a jerk)
✔️ What to do when people don’t support your decision
✔️ The secret to moving abroad without second-guessing yourself
If you've ever felt guilty about leaving aging parents, disappointing friends, or ‘breaking the rules’ of what’s considered responsible, this episode is a must-listen.
