The Limits Aren’t Real: What Running a Half Marathon Taught Me About Fear, Waiting, and Moving Abroad

A few weeks ago, I ran a half marathon — something I almost didn’t even sign up for. And somewhere between mile six and mile ten, I realized I wasn’t just racing my body… I was racing my beliefs about what I could handle.That run became a mirror for how so many of us approach our move abroad — full of invisible limits we call “logic” or “being practical,” when it’s really just fear wearing a responsible-looking spreadsheet.In this episode, I’m pulling apart what “waiting for the right time” really means, how fear quietly brands itself as caution, and why the biggest thing holding you back isn’t money, timing, or visas — it’s you moving your own damn goalposts.If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start your move abroad, this is it.I’ll share:How I learned the difference between fear and factsWhy “someday” is the most expensive word in your vocabularyWhat happens when you stop branding fear as logicAnd how to start — even if you’re scared, broke, or not “ready” yetBecause the truth is, you don’t need permission, perfect timing, or another spreadsheet. You just need to start running your own race.Let’s go.Free Checklist for moving abroad
