Description

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.

#153 When the World Feels Like It’s On Fire: Fear Is Not a Move Abroad Plan
2026/02/03
Many Americans are feeling scared and desperate to leave the U.S. right now, and that fear makes sense. In this episode, we slow the panic and talk about how to move abroad intentionally, not reactively, so your move feels empowering instead of traumatic. We also discuss the important distinction between running away from the life you have versus running toward the life you want. In This Episode: Why fear-driven moves often feel heavy, rushed, and unsatisfyingA powerful question to clarify whether you truly want to leave (or you feel like you have to)How shifting from “I have to leave” to “I want to leave” restores agencyThe “first-not-forever” strategy for moving quickly without losing alignmentHow to use stepping-stone countries, easier visas, and interim plans to stay on trackYou don’t need to flee your life. You get to choose it. And you deserve a move abroad that feels intentional, expansive, and truly yours. If you’re ready to create a calm, clear, actionable plan, support is available.

#152 We’re Not Here to F Spiders: An Unhinged Tour of Australia (with My Husband, Chris)
2026/01/27
Australian swearing, barefoot adults, kangaroo meat, and a husband who cannot be trusted with a microphone. We’re not here to f* spiders. Richelle and Chris break down the things you’d only know if you actually visited Australia - and yes, it gets weird fast. This is not a “should you move to Australia?” episode. This is the REAL deal: the food, the bugs, the language, and the cultural chaos no one warns you about. From eating kangaroo to drinking questionable wine out of a bag, this episode is fully unhinged (and deeply educational) in the most unserious way possible. This episode contains explicit language because Chris cannot be trusted not to swear, overshare, or explain Australian culture in a way that sounds sane. Topics include: Richelle’s dream of becoming the Beef QueenBarefoot adults just living lifeMeat raffles and why they’re a thingBugs, spiders, snakes, and emotional damageGoon of Fortune (unfortunately real)Australian swearing (why “mate” is an insult, and what you actually call your friends)Richelle’s driving anxietyWhy fairy bread is basically a sad Funfetti cupcakeAustralia is not for the weak.

#151 Five Real Move Abroad Mistakes I See All the Time (That Cost People Time, Money, or Both)
2026/01/20
There’s no shortage of advice online about moving abroad, and most of it sounds responsible and well-intentioned. But after helping hundreds of people plan real moves across different countries, visas, timelines, and life situations, I’ve noticed something important: Moves rarely fall apart because people aren’t serious enough. They fall apart because of a handful of very common, reasonable mistakes - the kind you don’t even realize you’re making. In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 mistakes I see all the time: Why getting attached to one “dream country” too early can derail your optionsHow considering rent instead of your entire budget leads to unnecessary financial panicHow trying to DIY a visa creates more stress, delays, and expensesWhy visas, taxes, and business structure must be looked at together (not one at a time)The simple reminder to keep you from postponing your move forever: you can always fly home.If any of these sound familiar, it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. It means you’re doing something big, and you’re learning how to do it better. Remember: You don’t need perfection or certainty. Moving to another country requires flexibility, quality information, and intentional decisions made in the right order.

#150 The Move Abroad Rules Are Fake (Here’s What Actually Matters)
2026/01/13
What if the thing holding you back from moving abroad isn’t visas, money, or logistics, but rather, trying to follow someone else’s version of freedom? We’re unpacking why there’s no one “right” way to move abroad, and how to design a freedom-first lifestyle that actually fits you. In this episode, we break down: Why the popular “sell everything, move to Spain, digital nomad visa forever” narrative can be limitingHow online stories create rules that don’t have to apply to your lifeA real client example showing how not choosing one country can be the most freeing move for some peopleThe power of hybridity: splitting time between the U.S. and abroad How to redefine success as freedom, flexibility, and choice (not permanence)There are no rules, only choices. The goal isn’t necessarily moving abroad forever; it’s creating your freedom life. Consider what you really want, then do just that.

#149 You Don’t Need More Discipline. You Need a Sustainable Plan for Your Health - with Tameika G
2026/01/09
Last year, I let my health slide. Between growing a business, raising a toddler, moving to Spain, and traveling for months, the first thing to go was me — my movement, my stress management, my sleep. And while that might work short-term, it’s not sustainable. So for 2026, I’m doing things differently. Not all-or-nothing. Not crash dieting or rigid routines. Just small, sustainable habits that actually work with a busy life. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Tameika G, a holistic weight loss coach who: Lost 100 pounds and kept it off for 15+ yearsHas helped 2,000+ women build sustainable health habitsHas lived abroad for years and built her business while traveling and living overseasWe talk about: Why January “go hard” health goals failThe six habits that actually support long-term healthWhy stress and sleep matter just as much as food and workoutsHow to stay healthy while living abroad or running a businessThis episode is for you if you want to feel more energized, grounded, and vibrant — without burning yourself out. 🔥 Join Me for the Consistency Challenge (Jan 12–15) Tameika is hosting a 4-day Consistency Challenge, and I’ll be doing it alongside you.

#148 Your 2026 Freedom Life Plan: How to Set Goals That Match Who You’re Becoming
2026/01/06
It’s the first week of January and I love that fresh-start energy where everything feels possible. In this episode, I’m ditching hustle-y, pressure-filled goal setting and exploring a more aligned approach: becoming the person who naturally lives the life you want. Instead of forcing goals through willpower, I introduce a new approach—identity shifts, future-self alignment, and fun, low-pressure ways to make 2026 feel expansive, not exhausting. In this episode I share: Why traditional goal-setting often leads to burnout (and what to do instead)How identity—not motivation—is the missing link to real changeWhy moving abroad, scaling your business, or working less starts with who you believe you arA reframe on vision boards that focuses on becoming, not achievingGoal Bingo: a playful, pressure-free way to design a life you actually want to liveIf you’re ready for 2026 to be about becoming, not hustling, then this episode is a must listen!

#146 When You’re Home for the Holidays and No One Really Gets You
2025/12/23
Going home for the holidays can feel strange when you’ve outgrown the version of yourself that your family still sees. After living abroad for 13 years, I know this feeling well, and I’ve navigated uncomfortable conversations over the holidays quite a few times. Whether you’re building a business, planning a move abroad, or living a life that doesn’t fit the “traditional” mold, this episode is for you. This Episode Covers: Navigating holiday conversations when your life, business, or plans don’t fit the traditional path How to respond to family concern, judgment, or guilt trips with calm confidence (and without over-explaining)The identity shift that happens when you outgrow the version of yourself people still seeWhy you don’t need approval to change, move abroad, or build a life that feels aligned Subscribe and Review If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

#145 Meet Your 2026 Self: The Version of You Who’s Already Living Abroad and Thriving in Business
2025/12/16
In this episode, I’m walking you through one of my favorite exercises from my recent retreat in Thailand — a guided visualization where you go meet the 2026 version of you who’s already living abroad, running a grounded and spacious business, and actually feeling the life you’ve been planning. We’re stepping out of strategy mode and into identity. Because you can have all the plans in the world, but if you don’t believe you can hold the life you want… you’ll sabotage it without even realizing it. Here’s what we do together in the episode: • You’ll take a 5-minute guided visit to your future self — their home, their energy, their lifestyle, and the message they have for you right now.  • We’ll unpack what came up (even if it felt random or surprising) and what it reveals about who you’re becoming.  • And finally, we’ll get clear on one simple, brave action you can take today to close the gap between you and the 2026 version of you who’s already living this life abroad. This is the perfect end-of-year moment to meet your future self — and start becoming them now, not someday.

#144 The Holiday Reset: Why December Is the Best Time to Reinvent Your Business (and Your Life Abroad)
2025/12/09
In this episode I dive into why December is the most powerful month to pause, reassess, and reset your business and lifestyle goals—especially if you’re dreaming of moving abroad or stepping into a more spacious way of working. I’m breaking down my own whirlwind year: nearly hitting seven figures, moving countries, traveling with a toddler, restructuring my team and navigating functional burnout. On paper everything looked incredible, but behind the scenes it forced a complete recalibration of how I lead, work, and live. You'll hear:  – The truth behind rapid growth, burnout, and why I wouldn’t repeat 2025  – How leadership shifts, delegation, and new structure rebuilt my business  – Why December’s quiet exposes misalignment and creates space for clarity  – What to leave behind this year and how to identify the wins that matter  – A practical audit to align your business with the lifestyle you want abroad This episode gives you the clarity and direction to close the year strong and step into 2026 with a plan for your life that finally feels aligned.

#143 Why I Walked Away From Two Big Goals This Year
2025/12/02
As we head into December, many of us look back at our goals and judge ourselves by what we achieved or didn’t achieve. But this year, I experienced something different — and honestly, far more transformative: choosing to let go of goals I knew I could hit. In this episode, I’m sharing the two big goals I consciously walked away from in 2025, why it was so hard, and how releasing them created more clarity, alignment, and expansion in my life and business. From shifting identities to protecting my energy, to recognizing when a goal belongs to a past version of you, this conversation is an invitation to redefine what “success” looks like. What I share: Why I believe goal-setting should evolve as you evolveThe difference between falling short and walking away with intentionHow I recognized when a goal no longer fit the current version of meWhat happened when I pressed pause on a dream that was within reachHow letting go can sometimes create more growth than pushing throughSometimes the bravest thing you can do is change direction when you’re already halfway there.

#142 Moving to a French Fairytale Town… With a 90-Pound German Shepherd: Carissa’s Story
2025/11/25
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Freedom Life Experience Alunni Carissa, who recently moved to a tiny French town straight out of Beauty and the Beast… with her very large German Shepherd. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to move abroad with a big dog: the paperwork, the flights, the kennels, the trains, the vet visits, the housing search, all of it — this is your episode. Carissa shares: • How she found her dream town in the Alsace region (and why Strasbourg wasn’t the vibe) • What it’s actually like to fly internationally with a large dog under the plane • The unexpected vet issues, paperwork drama, airport chaos, and train challenges • How her dog helped her integrate and get to know her new community • Why vibes matter more than checklists when scouting a country • The reality of finding housing in France when you have a big dog  • What made her go from “Maybe I’ll move abroad in 5 years” to “I’m doing this THIS Fall” This episode is part fairytale, part logistical saga, and part empowering reminder that you can build the life you want — even if you’re moving overseas with a giant dog in a muzzle who hates escalators. Carissa proves that with flexibility, resilience, and the right support, your dream life abroad is absolutely possible.

#140 Three Months In… Are We Still Loving Málaga?
2025/11/11
It’s been three months since we packed up our life, moved to Spain, and officially became Málaga residents. So… did we make the right decision?
