Compass One Month Group Coaching for Women Who Want to Live or Travel Abroad

by Marie

“That’s it! I’m going overseas!!” Easier said than done, sometimes. You have probably been thinking about it for a long time and thought, “some day”. Well, why not now? “But I’m just really not sure about where to go, how to do it, or if I can even survive out there alone.” This, 4 week, …

Are we really still asking this question? Besides Are we really still asking this question?

Besides 50 being the new 30 (or something like that), we are in the prime of our lives and have decades before retiring to an arm chair, no matter how comfy they look. There's a world out there to see and women in their 50s are more self-assured (because we've seen some shit), usually have more capital to work with along with fewer responsibilities. 

It's the perfect time!

Do you need help just getting yourself moving with a plan? I will soon be releasing my 4 week hand-holding course to get you from sofa to sky in four weeks, including a support group of like-minded other women. And I also do 1-1 coaching. It's all on my website secondstarlife.com and the link is in my bio.

Stop asking yourself "Can I?" and start asking yourself "How will I?" I'll help you!

Tell me in the comments what places you've been dreaming about. Where will you go?

Can mid-life women really just move abroad? Why e Can mid-life women really just move abroad?

Why ever not? Look at all the things you've done in your life so far? If you stop and think about it, it's probably a lot! You are more than capable.

Or, did you mean "Is it too late?" 🧐

Personally, I think the best years are now. We have wisdom in our pockets and just need to connect to our inner confidence and we'll be just fine. There are actually plenty of us out here in the 🌎 already. Join us!

Seriously, what is stopping you? I'd love to know.

There are so many levels to this kind of thinking There are so many levels to this kind of thinking and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Nobody knows your life, what you've been dealing with or going through, so nobody gets a say in what you choose. But you do need to be sure you have a balance between how much you want to support others and how much you need to support yourself. 

Sometimes we need and want to be there for others and sometimes we need and want to be there for ourselves. Because, as they say, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, how in the hell do we figure this out?

Spend some time looking at who or what is making decisions for you. Is it you? Is it someone else? Is it plain old guilt, which serves no one, by the way. Be honest.

Are the people you've looked after doing OK, but you still feel you need to give up on your own dreams? Maybe this is the case, and maybe not. But it's worth reflecting upon.

I've heard so many people say their kids are independent now but they feel guilty leaving. 

1) Have you asked them how they'd feel if you pursued your dreams? You might be surprised.

2) Have you asked them if they'd like to come along? Many people are out here living or travelling abroad with their kids of all ages.

3) Have you asked them if they'd like to have the next family holiday in Greece, Italy, Japan, etc?

Especially as women, there are mul-ti-ple opportunities for guilt in our lives. We don't always need to give in to them. Sometimes we just need to think from a different angle.

What do you think?

Overwhelm seems to permeate every part of modern l Overwhelm seems to permeate every part of modern life. We go into freeze mode, to avoid dealing with whatever it is that is that we really need to deal with. Or, if it's something we really want, we may make excuses to ourselves as to why we're not going after it.

"I can't just drop work and go"

"Maybe when the kids are out of the house"

"I need to save more money"

And then it's easy to blame overwhelm on other things.

For a lot of things that produce overwhelm, you might get someone to help you and this always lets you see there are probably just some logical steps that you needed to know but didn't. Having a plan definitely lightens the load, doesn't it?.

If you want to move abroad, I have a plan for you.

It's called Compass, and it's a 4-week programme for mid-life women who are finally ready to go abroad, but are looking for a structured plan and a mentor to get them there. Plus we will be building a supportive network of other women doing the same thing, so from the course days onward, you will never be alone. 

Follow me here and/or on my Substack newsletter (link in bio) and I'll let you know when the course will be launching.

It would be easy to say, "There's only one way to It would be easy to say, "There's only one way to find out what's out there.", but that wouldn't validate the very real fears people have about a) going abroad and b) making such a huge life change. 
✨
And it IS huge, especially if you've never lived outside of your first country, or maybe even your home town. If you really want to do this, it means facing up to some fears. Be sure to break down what exactly it is that you are afraid of. I will go into this in more depth in my upcoming 1 month course called Compass: for mid-life women who want to go abroad. For now, I'll say that having generalised fear is overwhelming, but knowing what those fears actually are, can help you figure out what you need to do to deal with them. 
✨
Because, not going to lie, some fears are based on legitimate issues that you may need to deal with first. 
✨
That doesn't mean the dream is over. 
✨
It just means you have some housekeeping to tend to before venturing out. And, you can do it. You've dealt with shit before. None of us has the blessing of getting to middle age without having dealt with some shit. You CAN do it.
✨
Let me help you figure out your "unknown". Follow me here and on Substack for my newsletter. Link in bio 😊

It's true you can't regret what you don't try... It's true you can't regret what you don't try...

but can you be happy wondering what you're missing?

How long have you wanted to go overseas? Is potential, imagined regret what is stopping you, or is it something else?

It's a lot! Whether you've moved to a new city w It's a lot! 

Whether you've moved to a new city within your country before, travelled abroad before, or any variation of it, the idea of actually packing up your life and moving or travelling long-term overseas can be confusing. Where do you even begin?

I promise you there are logical steps and way to reduce the overwhelm and I want to help you with all of it. I have moved countless times in my life and ten of those moves were inter-country. Yes, I'm a little bit experienced. Let me help you!

I will be running a course, called Compass, in a few months that will basically be like a hand-holding through the whole process. Follow me here on IG, or get on my Substack newsletter list by following me there (Link in bio) and I'll let you know when I have all the details together so you can see if it's what you need to get started.

I feel like this is one of the most common concern I feel like this is one of the most common concerns I hear and it keeps people frozen. ⛄
✨
Some people have dreamed about travel or living abroad for years, or even decades. For some it was a childhood dream. 
✨✨
Have you still not made the leap because of fear of failure? 
✨✨
I'm going to talk about this, in depth, in my upcoming course called Compass, for mid-life women who are ready to go abroad but just want a bit of help to get them there. 
✨
But, let me ask you this...

✨Do you let a fear of failure hold you back from other things? 
✨What is the payoff for you not to face up to your fears? 
✨Maybe you feel safe?? 
✨✨
But, I can imagine that you are still thinking, constantly, about the thing you want to do. That will to do something doesn't go away, just because you are afraid to try it. 
✨
So, choose your pain. 
✨Risk "failure" (which is in quotes because I don't actually believe in that word) 

OR 

✨live with your unfulfilled desire.

This doesn't mean there aren't ways to mitigate risk. There most certainly are! And that is why I'm going to be running my course. Dates are not announced yet, but follow me here and/or jump on my newsletter list via Substack (link in bio), and I'll keep you up to date on when it's happening so you can decide if it's the thing you need.✨
