#172 Burnout? Moving Abroad Might Be the Recovery Plan You Need
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Burnout isn’t a productivity problem - It’s an environment problem.
If you're exhausted, stuck in a job you dread, and trying to build your escape plan with no energy left, moving abroad can create the space you need to recover, rebuild, and create a life you actually want.
In this episode, we’re covering:
- Why working "harder" is often the worst solution to burnout
- The story of Angela, who left LA for the Philippines and rebuilt her career from a place of recovery
- How a lower cost of living can buy you time, energy, and options
- When it makes sense to move abroad before fully building your business
- How to use savings strategically to recover from burnout
- What to do if you don't have much money saved
- Why having a clear relocation and business plan matters more than ever when resources are tight
Burnout is often a sign that something fundamental needs to change. Sometimes the best path forward is leaving the environment that's keeping you stuck.
