056 What if Moving Abroad is a Mistake?
You’ve been dreaming about moving abroad, or maybe you're already there! But there’s one nagging thought that won’t leave you alone… What if I regret it?
Fear of making/having made the wrong decision keeps so many of us stuck in place, choosing the comfort of the familiar over the unknown. But here’s the truth—regret often comes from not taking the leap, not from trying and learning along the way.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
✅ Why the fear of regret is really a fear of uncertainty (and how to shift your mindset)
✅ The difference between real risk vs. fear-based overthinking
✅ How to reframe failure so that any decision moves you forward
✅ A simple exercise to help you make peace with the unknown and trust yourself
💡 If fear is holding you back, this episode is your permission slip to move forward with confidence!
