Get ready for one of the biggest transitions of your life — moving abroad
Moving abroad isn't just about visa applications and complicated logistics (although It's a lot of that too!)
It's a transition that will challenge and transform you from the inside out.
Get prepared for your first 90 days abroad with a 90-minute workshop that will equip you with the tools and info you need to thrive.
If you're on the cusp of a move abroad and thinking...
"I can't tell if I'm more excited or more terrified right now"
"I can't believe I'm starting over at [30, 40, 50, 60+] years old!"
"What if I get there and I realize this was a big mistake?"
"How on earth am I going to rebuild my whole community from scratch?"
"I know this will be a big adjustment but I'm just not sure what to expect"
...then this workshop is for you.
If you're preparing for a move abroad, or recently arrived and still getting adjusted, this is what you need to know.
Don't neglect the mental and emotional side of the move abroad transition.
Moving abroad is a wild ride, but it's easier when you're prepared.
In Your First 90 Days Abroad, we'll cover:
What to expect from culture shock in those first weeks and months
Harnessing your personal strengths for a smoother adjustment to life abroad
Making friends and building community after a big move
Dealing with homesickness, grief, and uncertainty
How to care for your mental health in the ups and downs
You'll leave with clarity about what to expect during a move abroad, and an action plan to help you get off on the right foot.
Clarity? Info? And an action plan? Sign me up!
Our next session is Sunday, December 16 at 9 am Pacific Time / 6 pm CET.
When it comes to moving abroad, knowledge is power.
Moving abroad will challenge you to adapt. It will make you question your assumptions about yourself and the world around you. It's a huge opportunity for growth.
People move abroad for a thousand reasons—for love, adventure, safety, family, economic or professional opportunities. To explore themselves and the world. To create something new and beautiful.
When culture shock, homesickness, grief, and uncertainty show up too, will you be ready for them?
Don't be caught off guard by the normal, inevitable ups-and-downs of those first 90 days abroad.
"I wish I had this when I moved abroad."
When I meet other international residents and tell them about my work, they inevitably say some version of the same thing:
"I wish I had something like this when I moved abroad."
"I just had no idea what I was in for those first few months."
"I could have really used some support around that transition."
The truth is, I could have used this workshop too!
It's easy to find professional advice on the legal and logistical parts of a move abroad. Finding accurate, actionable information and support for the personal side of things is a lot harder—but no less necessary.
I set up my coaching practice, Dr. Maya Coaching, to bridge this gap. I bring 15+ years of professional experience as a psychologist, and my own lived experience as a US immigrant in Spain, to my work.
And I've distilled the highlights of what you need to know in those first crucial weeks and months down into this workshop for you.
Set yourself up to thrive in your new home abroad.
Tickets are just 10€ to get you ready for everything life abroad will throw at you.
See you Sunday, December 16 at 9 am Pacific Time / 6 pm CEST!
