The Move Abroad Coach Podcast
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.

#164 Should You Stay or Go? This Family Created a Workbook to Help You Decide
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it look like for a queer couple (with 2 kids and 3 pets) to move from Massachusetts to the Netherlands? What does it take to move abroad as a family in general?
Grover and Nova are offering an honest look at the decision-making process and the reality of starting over.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Life as a queer family in the Netherlands
- How their quality of life has changed after moving
- What drove them towards leaving the U.S.
- Why they chose the Netherlands (and why not Amsterdam)
- Their Stay or Go Workbook (and how to decide if leaving the U.S. is right for you)
- Cost of living: rent, healthcare, and taxes
- Finding housing as immigrants with pets
- The DAFT visa and building a business abroad
- Settling in: the stressful first weeks vs. long-term rewards
Starting over (or even choosing to do so) can be a process, and this is how that process led Grover and Nova to their dreamy new life in the Netherlands.
