Life FIRST Business Podcast | Kristine Barviķe

In this episode I am taking you behind the scenes of one of the biggest adventures of 2026 as family - three months living in Marbella, Spain - with a two year old, a five year old and 2 businesses to run. I am sharing the very honest numbers, costs, the logistics, things that went NOT according to the plan and the very beautiful & ordinary moments that nobody puts on Instagram when you pack up your family and just go. Additionally - what that whole experience did to us, who we became on the other side of it and why it changed everything about how I think about money, freedom and what I am actually building my business for. You will walk away with: → Real cost breakdown of living in Marbella for 3 months as a family - accommodation, food, activities and what to consider → What it is actually like to move abroad with two toddlers under 5 - my very honest version → What life looks like day to day on the Costa del Sol and what to expect if you are planning to go → The mindset and identity shifts that happen when you completely step out of your normal life → Why this experience changed how I think about money, pricing and what I am building my business for
