#107 No More Playing Small: Coach Rebecca’s Journey to a Life of Freedom Abroad

Season 1 Episode 107

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Coach Rebecca—a Freedom Life alumni and now a coach on my team—whose story will hit home for so many of you.

After decades of doing everything right—building a career, creating a safe life and being the dependable one—Rebecca hit a breaking point. She realized she’d been playing small her entire life, putting everyone else first… and herself last.

At 50, she made a radical decision: to choose freedom, stop people-pleasing, and finally create the life she truly wanted—a life abroad, on her own terms.

We talk about:

  • How she broke free from the “good girl” mold and rewrote her story
  • Why moving abroad wasn’t a midlife crisis—it was a midlife awakening
  • Her mindset shifts from perfectionism to possibility
  • The steps she took to create a sustainable income and real freedom abroad
  • How she went from client to coach and now helps other women do the same

This is a vulnerable, empowering, and deeply inspiring conversation about what’s possible when you stop playing it safe and start betting on yourself.

If you've been waiting for permission to go all-in on your dream—this is it.
