For ages I’ve had a podcast swirling around my head. I knew I wanted to share my journey of navigating living abroad, running a business and building my dream life. I know I can give value to my followers who are considering doing the same. That’s not to say I know it all, for sure I don’t. Each day I’m learning more and more.I moved to Dubai when I was 19, and when I was 22 I quit my job to work for myself. I am using self development practices to build my dream life, ready or not. I do consider it part of who I am at this point.You’re listening to the Ready or Not podcast, with me Mabel Goulden. We’re to share the stories of those living intentionally and building a life they love, so you get inspired to do the same.
So, my sister Edie just got back from studying abroad in Copenhagen and she's brought back life lessons that are too good not to share. She’s here to share the scoop on hitting the reset button on life, the joys and jitters of adjusting to a new culture, and all the growth that comes with stepping out of your comfort zone. From tackling those “am I doing this right?” moments to making connections that broaden your perspective, Edie’s journey is a deep dive into self-discovery and how such experiences shape us. We also touch on the skills and insights she’s gained, offering a bit of advice for anyone itching to take their own leap into the unknown. Big thanks to Edie for getting real with us and to you guys for listening. If you’ve got thoughts or stories of your own, we’re all ears. Catch you on the next episode for more insights on living intentionally and crafting a life you love.
