Brittany opens up about her family's life-changing move to Spain — nine people (including her kids, son-in-law, and grandbabies) and four dogs relocating to a country where they don't speak the language. She shares the emotional toll on her teenage sons, the surprising ease of adapting at this stage of life, how she's kept up her fitness routine with minimal equipment, and how she's continuing the podcast amid the chaos of an international move.

Key Takeaways:

• (1:17) - Brittany's family move to Spain includes nine people and four dogs, none of whom speak Spanish yet.

• (3:14) - Jet lag and adjusting hit harder in her 40s, so she prioritized simple at-home strength training and Pilates to reset.

• (7:52) - Reactions to the move varied widely — her daughters were excited, but her teenage sons struggled emotionally for months.

• (13:30) - The move has been harder than expected for her 16-year-old, but overall life abroad has exceeded her family's dream of it.

• (15:16) - Despite the upheaval, Brittany pushed forward with the podcast, bringing on guests from her new time zone in Europe.

"Better than expected — I think just our idea of our dream of moving abroad, and what that could look like, and then actually living it, is better than my dream."
