    The COVID Chapters - Layoffs and Van Life
    Today we’re going to be discussing a bit of a sensitive, if not taboo topic…. being laid off. Layoffs are an unfortunate and oftentimes confidence-crushing circumstance for an individual to be in. But then, when you take a global pandemic, the uncertainty of the economy, and on top of that losing your job… I can’t imagine the stress, panic, and fear that so many people have experienced around the world over the couple of years. I feel super grateful that my friend Kait has agreed to open up about her experience of being laid off during COVID. Kait is an HR professional, specializing in employee experiences, culture and belonging, particularly on a global level. She’s also an avid hiker, coffee lover, entrepreneur, and a van enthusiast all rolled up into one, which we'll explore during the episode. I hope this episode is helpful who might find themselves in an unfortunate circumstance of being laid off. Kait shares key pieces of advice and what you should do if you were ever to find yourself in this situation.

    The COVID Chapters - Walking Across Borders

    Andie is a mom of 5 whose children’s therapist said Andie was the most interesting person she had ever met. She’s not sure if that was a compliment or not, but what she loves to do in the world the most is travel planning and be a Virtual Assistant. She has become such a nerd about budget travel that she made her own course about it.  But what makes Andie and her family truly special, is that they are nomadic! Meaning, they have travelled to and lived in 14 different countries across 4 continents! Currently, they reside in Tbilisi, Georgia, but it was quite the adventure to get there, and unfortunately their move coincided with a global pandemic. We’re going to deep dive into that story today.

    Notes: 

    - Georgia has an automatic 1 year tourist visa for many countries. They have discontinued their digital nomad program now that they are back to their normal entry requirements.

    Although 2020 was a year for the history books, if there’s one thing we can all agree on and have witnessed during the pandemic, it’s that love is not cancelled. Today on the podcast, I am excited to welcome Kate, who has her own special story of love and navigating the pandemic. Like many brides that year, a wave of fear, stress, and unpredictability washed over them. Could a wedding actually happen? If so, how?

    Episode 004 - I am where I am because of her, interviewing my Mom

    Many people say that I'm brave for moving abroad, but everything I am is because of my Mom. The risks she's taken, the opportunities she sought, the bravery she had.

    Today, I interview my Mom to unpack where I gain my inspiration and bravery to live abroad. You'll hear her share her story and quickly learn why my move to Spain in 2018 was nothing compared to that of an international move in the late 70's.

    Picture this: my Mom is 23, and has never been on a plane before. She left her family as one of 11 (!!) children to seek out a job opportunity in Canada. This was before the internet, before smartphones or Google Maps and when making a long distance call was very expensive. She flew across an ocean to live with a family she had never met before.

    Check out Episode 4 to hear her full story!
