#97 It’s Never Too Late: How Lori Moved to Paris at 60—Cats, Family Friction, and All

Season 1 Episode 97

In this episode, I sit down with Lori Zeller, who took the leap and moved to Paris after years of dreaming about living abroad. Lori shares her inspiring story of how she made her move in her 60’s, overcame family doubts, and transitioned from a busy life in the U.S. to a fulfilling new chapter in Paris.

Here’s what we talk about in today’s episode:

  • Lori’s journey from dreaming of moving abroad since the early 2000s to making it happen in her 60s.
  • The challenges she faced with aging parents, pets, and family resistance.
  • How the Move Abroad Escape Plan Bootcamp was the catalyst for Lori’s decision and how the Freedom Life Accelerator helped her implement her plan.
  • Practical tips for those in their 50s and 60s considering the move — it’s never too late!
  • Dealing with unsupportive family members and how Lori navigated this emotional hurdle.
  • Special advice for introverts: finding community and building connections abroad
