059 Following the Flow with Nicole Bendayan
Moving abroad isn’t just about changing locations—it’s about aligning with what feels right. In this episode, I sit down with Nicole Bendayan, who I personally call, The Period Queen, to talk about her journey as a nutritionist specializing in women’s cycles, her experiences with isolation after moving abroad, and the deep self-discovery that comes with navigating life in different countries.
This episode we are going into:
✨ How your menstrual cycle can guide your energy, decisions, and overall well-being—especially during big transitions
🌍 The emotional ups and downs of expatriation and why isolation can be both a challenge and an opportunity for growth
💡 Trusting your intuition when choosing where to live (and why Nicole refuses to stay somewhere that doesn’t feel aligned—no matter what)
💖 Finding balance between love, career, and personal fulfillment while moving through different seasons of life
If you’ve ever wondered how to truly listen to your body and trust your gut—both in health and in life abroad—this episode is for you.
