Episode 109 - Reinvention Journey: From Los Angeles to Mexico

I Left the Life That Looked Right to Build the One That Felt RightEight months of silence. One massive reinvention. I'm back - and I'm bringing you inside the identity shift that took me from Los Angeles to Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.This episode isn't a highlight reel. It's the real timeline - the good girl choices, the slow wake-up call, and the audacious move that finally matched who I was becoming.I take you back to 2014, when I moved back to LA and manifested what I thought was my dream job - a flexible role as an insurance investigator. That job funded this business and shaped a decade of my life. But by 2020, everything cracked open. The pandemic pushed me remote, then part-time, then into independent contractor work - until July 2025, when I finally walked away from corporate for good.Somewhere in there, I named the feeling I couldn't shake: I wasn't living. I was working to exist.That's when I found a move-abroad seminar and a community that gave me permission to stop shrinking - and started the process that led me to Ensenada in late October 2025. I'm not going to pretend it was clean. I'll walk you through the resistance, the guilt, and the moment manifestation stopped being about the outcome and became about how I wanted to feel - a shift that journaling, and scripting especially, helped me embody.I'm also sharing where I'm at now: newly holding dual US-Mexican citizenship, and fully living proof that it's not too late to become her.In this episode:The real 10-year story behind my "flexible dream job" - and why it stopped fittingWhat "working to exist" felt like, and how I named itThe move-abroad seminar that cracked things openSitting with resistance and guilt without letting them winWhy manifestation isn't about the wish - it's about the feelingHow scripting became my identity-shift toolBecoming a dual citizen and what that really means to meYour Reflection Prompt: Where in your life are you working to exist instead of living?Your 10-Minute Journaling Challenge: Set a timer.
