In this solo episode, I’m sharing what it has really taken—mentally, emotionally, and practically—to make some of the biggest decisions of our lives. As our family prepares to leave France and move back to California after just three years abroad, I reflect on the mindset shifts, resilience, and unwavering self-belief that have helped us navigate uncertainty, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and major life transitions. From selling our car in France to packing up our entire life once again, I share the behind-the-scenes realities of change and why I believe the hardest part is never the logistics—it’s becoming the person who trusts themselves enough to take the leap.

I also dive into the core beliefs and practices that have shaped how Jordan and I approach life: deciding before the path is visible, living as if your goals have already happened, releasing the need to control the “how” and “when,” and building the discipline to keep moving forward even when things feel messy or uncertain. Whether you’re dreaming of a big move, starting a business, changing careers, or simply trying to create a life that feels more aligned, this episode is a reminder that progress comes from belief, consistency, and courage—not perfection.

Most importantly, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust yourself more deeply. Every meaningful transformation begins with a decision, and every dream becomes possible when you stop waiting for certainty and start taking the next step. If you’ve been looking for a sign to believe in yourself and move toward the life you want, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Away We Go podcast, we're back with an update on the big move! It's been a few weeks since we officially announced that we're trading our French life for sunny San Diego, and a lot has happened since then. With just one month left on the ground here, we're sharing where things stand, what the countdown has actually looked like, and the mix of emotions that comes with closing this chapter.

We also reflect on the bigger "why" behind it all. Three years ago, we packed up our lives and moved to France with our ten-month-old twins because we believed we could do hard things. Now we're doing another hard thing: heading back to the US as Sophie launches her new tech company, Elstori, supporting women through postpartum and early motherhood. (Spoiler: doing scary things never really stops, you just get better at it.)

Plus, we take you along on our final French adventure, a trip to the French Riviera that turned out to be the perfect send-off. And of course, we're answering YOUR questions! We pulled a bunch from Instagram and got into everything you've been asking about the move, life abroad, and what's next.

-Intro and outro music produced by Jeremy Silver-

In this episode of Away We Go We Go, we sit down with our dear friends Carl and Cheryl to talk about the adventurous, unconventional life they’ve built together—from retiring early in Arizona to living in Mexico, traveling through New Zealand and Italy, almost building an off-grid home in Fiji, and ultimately landing here in Provence. What started as a shared love of scuba diving and travel slowly evolved into a much bigger philosophy about life, risk, and choosing experiences over comfort. Their story is full of incredible moments, unexpected detours, and a reminder that there’s no single “right” way to live.

We talk about everything from culture shock and language barriers to the emotional reality of starting over in new countries later in life. Carl and Cheryl open up about the moments that truly tested them, including the devastating cyclone that destroyed their Fiji plans just weeks before they were supposed to make the move. Through all of it, they share how they’ve learned to adapt, trust themselves, support each other, and stay open to whatever life throws their way.

This conversation is funny, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring. At its core, it’s about building a rich life—not through possessions or predictability, but through curiosity, resilience, connection, and the courage to keep saying yes to adventure. Whether you’re dreaming about moving abroad, navigating a major life transition, or simply wondering what’s possible for your future, this episode is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to choose a different path.
