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.

#163 I Haven't Taken 3 Weeks Off in 10 Years. Here's My Vacation Experiment.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The irony of the Freedom Life entrepreneur realizing that she hasn't truly unplugged in a decade.
I’m sharing the uncomfortable truth behind my work habits, and the experiment I’m about to run: three full weeks completely offline. No Slack, no email, no “quick check-ins.”
Key Takeaways
- I haven’t taken a fully unplugged vacation in 10 years (and didn’t realize how much that mattered)
- “Half-working, half-living” has been my default, and it’s the reason everything feels harder than it should
- Building a Freedom Life means actually living it, not recreating hustle culture in a new country
- True rest isn’t just time off: It’s mental disconnection from responsibility
- You deserve time off, even (and especially) if you work for yourself
This three-week break is my experiment in stepping fully away, and trusting that everything will be okay. Consider this your wake-up call: when was the last time you truly switched off? Not worked from a prettier location, but actually rested?
