Relocation Fatigue With Laura Makes Moves

I'm excited to introduce you to Laura Sinclair of Aiken, SC, founder of Laura Makes Moves. Laura is a Relocation Specialist and Real Estate Agent, originally from Canada, who moved to Virginia for school, met her now husband and permanently moved to the US. Laura realized how difficult it can be when you move to a new city, especially if you've never made a big move before. After getting her Real Estate license, Laura made it her mission to help others have less stressful moves. Laura provides a service helping clients find a real estate agent in the city they're moving to, interviewing them on her client's behalf (to make sure they specialize in working with clients that are relocating to their city) and giving them tips and tricks through her blog, her moving guide and posts on social media.Laura and I have a very important conversation about 'relocation fatigue.' You might have experienced it—it refers to when you know you might move soon, and you stop living in the present! You become detached from the world you're living in because the 'you're moving soon' mindset becomes a coping mechanism. This could show up as not leaning into relationships, or caring about the everyday life you're building. It's hard to articulate when you're in it, but it's not sustainable and awareness can help you get past it. Different than the '6 Month Funk' that can occur after you move, this could occur before you move, and it's good to be aware of it so you can get ahead of it. Moving to a new place, especially if it involves a long-distance move, can be a major life transition requiring significant time, effort, and planning. We also talk about City POC's, the state of 'languish' and quietly quitting where you are, the 6 Month Funk and how you can avoid it all. Have a topic you'd like me to discuss? Send me a text here!
