You’ve done it before and you’ll do it again: MOVING.

But if you’re like me, the thought of packing boxes doesn’t exactly fill you with joyful anticipation.

Today’s guest will change that: Inés is the founder of Minimalista Moving and shares valuable tips for:

– mentally and practically preparing for your next move

– avoiding stress and overwhelm

– packing boxes

– unpacking and settling in

– moving with children

– and more!

If you have another move ahead – you can’t miss this episode!

PS: This is the final episode of Season 1 as TEEW is going on a little summer hiatus! Happy Holidays!

 

Meet Inés

Inés is a “citizen of the world” born in Patagonia Argentina. An organiser specialised in home moves with an emphasis on minimalism.

Not because she’s a super organised person, but because she needs space to think clearly and to focus on the things that matter to her.

She has lived in 6 different countries and it was her last move from Barcelona to Gothenburg in Sweden with her family of 4 that made her realise the easier a home move gets when belongings are curated and we start packing early enough. There was less stress and more intention.

Minimalista Moving is all about:

  • Reducing our possessions to those we can pay attention to so there’s no chaos in our homes.
  • Using the home move as an opportunity to start with a clean slate & start living the life we want

Episode 38: 5 Lessons of Your 5 Favorite Episodes

Episode 38: 5 Lessons of Your 5 Favorite Episodes

Season 1 of The Empowered Expat Wife Podcast is coming to an end and I’m so excited and thankful for the tremendous feedback I’ve received!

It’s been a pleasure bringing weekly episodes on “all things expat partner” to you, having inspiring conversations with experts and to provide value to the expat community!

The Podcast will go on a little summer hiatus before coming back with an exciting new spin in the fall (more on this soon)!

But before I switch the mic for a glass of Campari Spritz poolside – let me give you the countdown of the most downloaded episodes:

 

*Rank 5*

Episode 11: How to Avoid Holiday Burnout and Blues

This episode was released before Christmas but can be just as valuable for the summer time!
I talk about organization hacks, setting boundaries and communication tips to navigate difficult conversations with loved ones, as well as how to practice self-care in the most hectic times.

 

*Rank 4*

Episode 10: Becoming Financially Empowered with Lisa Mitchell

With her 20+ years of international experience, Lisa is very candid as she talks about what questions Expat Partners should ask and what to look out for when moving abroad!

 

*Rank 3*

Episode 2: Finding your inner happy place – with Rachael Lynn

I met Rachael online and we immediately connected over our focus on the importance of connecting with ourselves. Listen to the full episode to find out how you, too, can grow deeply connected with yourself and find strength and guidance within.

 

*Rank 2*

Episode 25: The Empowered Stay-at-Home Expat Mom

This is the episodes I received the most messages and shoutouts for! I know for some of you, taking a step back from work and building a career has been a conscious choice. Yet for others it was a decision made out of a lack of choice upon moving abroad.

Either way, SHMs often duck around when asked “so what do you do?” Or feel that constant pressure that “I should really be doing more than that!” If this resonates – you need to listen to this episode to regain your confidence, see your value and plan your future in the most sensible manner!

 

And *Rank 1* goes too…

Episode 1: Your Roadmap to a Fulfilled Life Abroad

And I thought it’d be a great moment to remind you of my 4 Pillars of a Fulfilled Life Abroad framework I use with my clients. It’s a practical evaluation tool to see which area in your life needs some special attention and care, some improvement or healing.
Listen to the full episode to figure out which of these pillars you need to work on – and how!
