“You’re Not Behind—You’re Starting Over”
Starting over at 45 is humbling (and yes, there’s knee pain). But this new chapter? It’s mine. Sometimes what feels like failure is just the beginning of alignment.

“Yes, I’ve Wondered If We Should Move Back”
Not gonna lie—I’ve questioned everything. Even the move. But doubt doesn’t mean you chose wrong. It just means you’re human, growing, and being stretched in ways you never were before.

“Moving Didn’t Make Me Fearless—It Made Me Flexible”
I’m not fearless. I’m just better at bouncing back. Life abroad taught me how to shift, bend, adjust—and let go. Turns out, flexibility is the real expat superpower.

“You’re Allowed to Want More”
Even if life looked “fine” on paper, I wanted more—and that’s not selfish. That’s honest. If you have the privilege to try for something different, don’t waste it on guilt.

“Homesickness Means You’re Growing”
I wasn’t running from anything—I had a beautiful life. But homesickness? That’s what drives us to build something new. To find community & grow. If you miss home, it means you’re brave enough to build again.

“We Packed Our Fear and Did It Anyway”
We didn’t wait for confidence. We moved scared. And two years later, we’re still figuring it out—but we’d regret not trying more than we ever feared failing. You can be terrified and still take the leap.
