episode 191: Flourishing Abroad with Christine Job
To live—and really flourish—abroad, cultivating self-trust is critical in finding your footing in a new place. Living in another country can come with a range of difficulties, but that’s just part of the challenge. It’s not a balm to fix all your problems, but it does provide an opportunity for self-actualization.
In this episode, I am joined by Christine Job, a business strategist currently living in Spain. We talk about how taking a different path gives you the space to choose what you really want, accountability as a form of self-care, and how living abroad can be a pathway to wellness. You’ll get her insight into what it’s really like living abroad and facing challenges with language differences, a new sense of identity, and learning to surrender.
In this episode:
- What brought Christine to Spain and kept her there
- How self-care and betting on yourself doesn’t always look the way you’d expect
- The biggest benefits of living abroad and having an international experience
- How living abroad is a pathway to wellness
- How nomad living opens you to a sense of surrender
- How this kind of lifestyle shifts your sense of identity
