Connection Over Convention: Moving Abroad for a Life on Her Terms with Macki

from The Weird Years · host Lydia Vornweg

What if you've been putting off what you want, waiting for what's next?This week I’m joined by the magnetic Macki Maconie, a brand curator, creative, and free spirit. After her divorce, she traded London for Portugal and built Casa do Sol - a home, retreat space, and community that reflects everything she values.From manifesting her dream house on a vision board to navigating love and dating in a new country, Macki shows how she’s refusing to wait for the “perfect” timeline. Instead, she’s creating connection, belonging, and joy entirely on her own terms.We talk about buying the big house without the big family, beauty and loneliness of starting over abroad, and why building a home and community can be the foundation you need to love yourself.If you’ve ever felt like your life is “on pause” until the right person arrives, Macki’s story is proof that the right time is now.✨ Follow Macki @mackimaconie📲 Follow us on Instagram: @theweirdyearspodcast🚀 New episodes every Tuesday - hit subscribe to stick around
