Description

Almost half of Americans have thought about moving abroad. 2.5 million families did it in 2023. 212,000 women left the workforce in 2025 alone. But these aren't just statistics. These are women building businesses in a second language. Calculating childcare in a currency they still convert in their heads. Rebuilding their identity while building a village from scratch. This show exists because life abroad as a creative freelancer founder-mom isn't an aesthetic. It's logistics, trade-offs, courage, doubt, growth. No highlight reel. Just the raw, uncut version. (Formerly The Conscious Kitchen)
