Happy New Year's Eve!

As we head into 2025, I'm sharing a special behind-the-scenes look at my personal, business, and self-development journey from 2024. Last year, I did a similar episode and it was so well-received, I decided to make it a tradition! In today’s episode, I’m giving you an honest look at what I've been working on, the challenges I’ve faced, and the mindset shifts that have shaped my year. I review the goals I set for 2024, how I did, and what I learned along the way. I’ll also share my big plans for the upcoming year–what I’m challenging myself to do in business and my personal life, as well as how I’m setting up my business (and mindset) to thrive without burning out in 2025!

This isn’t just about what I’ve taught you, but about walking the walk. You hear me share a lot about moving abroad, mindset strategies, and entrepreneurship tips for YOU. Now, I’m pulling back the curtain and showing you how I’ve been applying those lessons to my own life and business.

Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎄

In this encore episode, I revisit the topic of celebrating holidays while living abroad--from practical tips on how to cope with missing home to embracing the festive spirit of your new surroundings. Plus, a little update on how I'm celebrating Christmas abroad this year!

What you'll learn in the episode:

• How to Make the Holidays Special, Even When You're Far from Home: Create a festive atmosphere at home, connect with loved ones via FaceTime or Zoom and join local celebrations.
• Coping with Homesickness: If you're feeling down or nostalgic, you’re not alone. I share some personal stories of past holiday seasons spent abroad—including my first Christmas in China (hint: it didn’t go as planned!).
• Travel Tips: If you're a location-independent worker or can negotiate vacation time, consider planning a holiday trip to visit family or friends abroad.
• Embracing Holidays from Different Cultures: Whether it's Christmas in Georgia or celebrating Spring Festival in China, each country offers unique ways to celebrate. Don't miss out on these special moments just because you're away from home.
