You don't change. You expand.

Camila has lived in six countries… Colombia, Argentina, Italy, Qatar, London, Dubai… and somewhere along the way she stopped believing she had to reinvent herself every time she moved. In this conversation she reframes reinvention as expansion, and it shifts how I think about every fresh start since.

We talk about what home actually is when it isn't a place, what migration costs children, the grief of losing the version of your life you were in control of, and how positivity works as a real skill rather than a slogan. If you have ever felt the pressure to become someone new for a new city, a new job, or a new chapter, this one is for you.

In this episode:

• Why moving expands you instead of changing you (00:00)
• Six countries, five languages, one thirst to explore (03:00)
• "Home is not a place" and what it is instead (10:00)
• The grief no one warns you about when you migrate with kids (14:00)
• Positivity as a survival skill, not a personality trait (21:00)
• How to ask for help, build a network, and lower your risk (26:00)
• Imposter syndrome, and seeing the greatness others already see in you (30:00)

If this made you look at your own life differently, I share more of these thoughts on my Substack. Link in the description.
