What does it actually take to build a career that feels aligned — especially when you’re living abroad?

In this episode of the Women Abroad Cast, we sit down with executive coach, keynote speaker, and author Dr. Helen Krug von Nidda to talk about what it really means to design your career with intention — not just follow opportunities as they come.

From feeling stuck and unfulfilled (even when everything looks “good on paper”) to learning how to ask for help, build meaningful connections, and take ownership of your path — this conversation is a must-listen for any woman navigating life and work abroad.

We talk about:
– Why so many women feel stuck in their careers
– The mindset shift that changes everything
– How to actually start taking ownership of your career
– Networking (and how to make it feel natural, not transactional)
– Building confidence through real evidence
– Dr. Helen’s framework for getting unstuck and finding direction

If you’ve been questioning your next move, this episode will help you get clearer, more intentional, and more empowered in your journey.
