Vivian · The Expat Diaries: Leaving Home, Finding Home

Moving abroad isn’t the same as moving across town.

And downsizing before a move abroad isn’t really about packing.

It’s about sorting through everything you’ve accumulated over a lifetime in your current home.

It’s about choosing what you will bring with you into your new life, in your new home, in your new country.

In this workshop, I’ll walk you through the four questions that make that big downsize easy-er.

  • How much is coming with me?

  • What kind of life am I building in my new home?

  • What kinds of things are definitely NOT coming with me?

  • What belongs in my new life?

And I’ll give you 4 of my favorite filters and tools to help you start answering them.

You can watch the replay above.

If you watched this workshop and thought, “Okay. I get what I need to think about. But I still have no idea where to actually start in my house...”

I can help you with that.

Where Do I Even Start? Your Big Downsize Game Plan is a private 3-hour Zoom session where we take your actual house, your actual stuff, and your actual move and turn it into a clear starting point and a realistic roadmap you can actually follow.

We’ll figure out where to start, what can wait, and what needs to happen between the home you’re living in now and the day you leave it behind.
