The Move Abroad Coach Podcast
You didn’t start your business to stay stuck in the same city, the same routine, and the same life you’ve outgrown. You built it for freedom — and now you’re ready to take that freedom overseas. The Move Abroad Coach Podcast is your space for real, unfiltered conversations about building a business and a life you love overseas. Hosted by Richelle Gamlam, founder of Move Abroad Coach who has been living abroad for twelve years, this show blends strategy, mindset, and identity work to help you create a step-by-step freedom plan and finally make your move. Here, we don’t do generic how-to lists or heavily edited episodes. Instead, Richelle shares the coaching, stories, and practical frameworks that help coaches, freelancers, and entrepreneurs move abroad with confidence and alignment. If you’re craving deeper conversations, personalized insight, and the real behind-the-scenes of creating a freedom life, you’ll feel right at home. Come learn how to build a business that supports your freedom, create a concrete plan you can actually implement, and step into the version of you who lives a life you don’t need a vacation from.

#132 Moving Abroad Alone, With a Partner, or With Kids: Which Is Actually Harder?
Thinking about moving abroad but not sure how your situation stacks up? In this episode, I break down what it’s really like to move abroad solo, as a couple, and as a family — and which is actually the hardest.
Having done all three (China solo, Vietnam/Tanzania/Georgia as a couple, and now Spain with a toddler), I share:
- Pros & cons of each scenario – freedom vs. support, compromise vs. independence
- Real-life stories from my moves, from awkward salsa nights to house-hunting disagreements
- Tips for thriving no matter your situation — from making friends solo to negotiating childcare time with your partner
- Mindset shifts to stop comparing your journey to others and embrace your unique path
Whether you’re flying solo, planning with a partner, or taking the whole family abroad, you’ll get practical advice and encouragement to make your move work for you.
