87. 6 Lessons From 6 Months Living Abroad: What Moving to Scotland Taught Me About Business, Values & Trusting Yourself

from Blaze · host Megan Smyth

You can plan, prepare, and research all you want, but some lessons only come from actually doing the thing… After six months living abroad in Scotland, I'm back in Canada with a completely different perspective on life, business, and what it actually means to make decisions from a place of alignment. And yes, one of those decisions may or may not have involved a horoscope app. In this episode, I'm sharing the real story of my Scottish adventure—why I went, why I came home, and the six lessons that changed how I think about everything from nervous system regulation to sunk costs and giving yourself permission to want something different than what you once thought you wanted.  Whether you've been dreaming of a big life change or just trying to figure out your next business move, these lessons are universal!    Click play to learn: Why living your values matters more than chasing someone else's version of a dream life  How to regulate your nervous system to the unfamiliar (and why this is so essential for entrepreneurs)  Why clarity is a byproduct of action, not a prerequisite for it—and how to stop waiting until you have it all figured out How learning your unique decision-making style can save you months (or years) of second-guessing Why sitting in the unknown might be the most important skill you develop as a business owner Thank you so much for listening!
