They said I was selfish, dramatic, and delusional for wanting to leave my hometown.
Yet it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
This episode of The Tell Me About It podcast shares my personal story of leaving the only place I’d ever known - to chase something bigger.
You’ll hear about navigating grief, loneliness, homesickness, and gaslighting from people who should have supported me.
And if you’ve ever been guilted into staying where your soul doesn’t belong, you feel trapped, or you’ve already left - this one’s for you.
Tune in to hear about:
✅What finally pushed me to leave my birth town
✅The emotional rollercoaster of moving solo in your 30s
✅Why parental resistance and guilt are real and common (and what to do about it)
✅Homesickness, loneliness, and becoming a beginner again
✅Manifestation, divine timing & trusting the process
✅How travel rewired my worldview and business success
✅Why your comfort zone might actually be your prison… and how to finally escape
This episode is all about creating the life you actually choose, instead of living the life you inherited.
