    Feb 25 2025

    "If you don’t get your mindset in the right place, I promise you… moving to Spain will feel harder than it needs to."

    When deciding to move to a new country like Spain, people spend so much time sorting their paperwork, researching areas, and planning the logistics. But what about the mental side of things?

    Because no matter how many boxes you tick, if your mindset isn’t in the right place, you’ll struggle to settle. Self-doubt will creep in. Setbacks will knock your confidence. And that exciting new life you planned? It might not feel as amazing as you imagined.

    But here’s the thing: your mindset is the one thing you can control. And in this episode of The Costa Property Podcast, Sandra shares the 5 key mindset shifts that helped her thrive in Spain - what she wishes she had implemented sooner, the surprising daily practices that changed everything, and how YOU can build a mindset that makes your transition smoother, easier, and way more enjoyable.

    Tune in to discover:

    ✅ The 5 mindset practices Sandra swears by to turn setbacks into success.

    ✅ What she wishes she had known before moving (this one might surprise you!).

    ✅ A simple daily practice that stops doubts in their tracks (and keeps you focused on why you moved in the first place!).

    ✅ The one habit that completely changed her expat experience - and how you can apply it right now.
