The Course Creator Show

What happens when you pack up your life, take your family to the south of France for a year, and attempt to keep your business rolling? Let's just say, things didn’t go quite as planned—but in the best possible way. Your girl is back on the mic, and I’ve got stories, lessons, and some big reveals for you!
After a year of living in Aix en Provence, traveling around Europe, and navigating the ups and downs of working from a different country, I’m finally back home in Canada—and back on the podcast. In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on what life was really like in France, why I unintentionally hit pause on the podcast, and how this incredible year has reshaped my business and personal life.
I’m diving into everything from how our kids adapted to French school, what it was like trying to work amidst the constant pull of travel, and the biggest lessons we took away from our year abroad. And yes, we’re talking about the future—what's next for the podcast, the business, and maybe... another move abroad?
