This Expat Life - S0 / E68

#68 Staying steady in a free, global life with Jennifer van Leeuwaarde

Travelling fulltime with your son sounds like a dream, but is it really so? In this episode of This Expat Life I go beyond the conventional expat context and talk with Jennifer van Leeuwaarde, mom, entrepreneur and global soul.

Jennifer left an established life in the Netherlands behind because it didn’t match with what she wanted to experience. Now travelling the US, Latin America and South Africa, Jennifer shares openly about challenges (that expats, too, face) of feeling alone, the struggles of homeschooling, questions about her decisions - and how increasing her self-awareness has helped her deal with these. 

This is a beautiful conversation in which Jennifer also gives practical advice to those in a similar situation or with similar doubts.

Jennifer was a member of my program The Co-Pilot and used its tools to further solidify her inner GPS, which helped her navigate challenges and her journey. Are you looking for a toolbox yourself so you can better navigate your global life? Doors to The Co-Pilot are now closed but you can take a look for the next round here: https://www.amandamaximecoaching.com/the-co-pilot
