It’s been almost two months since we left the UK and moved to Portugal—but things haven’t quite gone to plan.
We're living in a rental that doesn't feel like home, our house is still a construction site, and the mental shift of moving countries has been tougher than we expected. In this episode, we’re sharing a raw update on how it really feels to be in this limbo stage—juggling work, renovation chaos, school runs, and a few minor meltdowns.
But amidst the stress, there’s beauty. Sunrise beach walks, barefoot therapy, and the kind of future we’ve always dreamed of… if we can just hang in there long enough to build it.
💬 Comment below: Have you ever made a big move and felt more lost than liberated? We’d love to hear your story.
