#82 Why All-or-Nothing Thinking Is Sabotaging Your Move Abroad

Season 1 Episode 82

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your move abroad journey? Do you ever feel like if you don’t do things perfectly, you’ve failed? In today’s episode, we’re tackling a common mindset trap that could be holding you back—all-or-nothing thinking.

I’ll share a personal story about how this mentality showed up for me in a simple challenge to get outside every day—and how breaking free from perfectionism helped me stay consistent and make progress. 

We’ll dive into why this type of thinking can sabotage your dreams of moving abroad and what you can do instead to stay on track, even when things don’t go exactly as planned.

Whether you feel behind on your move abroad goals, missed some coaching calls, or didn’t complete a task on time, this episode will help you understand how to overcome the mindset that you have to start over or give up entirely. Progress over perfection is the key!

Remember, moving abroad is a marathon, not a sprint. Let’s ditch the perfectionism and keep taking steps toward your dream life abroad!
