Lessons Learned Living Abroad for 10 Years: Visas, Language Barriers and Letting Go with Faith Mabry
173: Allison interviews her friend Faith Mabry who she met on a trip to The Netherlands last fall. The two crossed paths at Faith’s second-hand designer store and immediately hit it off. They ended up going to dinner the next night and Allison stayed at Faith’s for a week in her spare bedroom.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about moving abroad, making friends in a new city and how to take the leap so we thought it would be perfect to have Faith come on the show as she has been living abroad for almost a decade now!
Faith shares her experience growing up in California and how her love for music inspired her to travel and attend various festivals. The venues, fashion and festival goers helped broaden her perspective which made her want to travel more. When the opportunity to study abroad in Europe in 2015 was presented, she jumped at it and has been living abroad since!
Faith shares her love story of meeting her husband in Amsterdam, living in Australia and The Netherlands. While living abroad is a beautiful life-changing experience, we keep it real by discussing the challenges, including letting go of your old life and building a new one, not being able to come home for every family emergency and more.
TAKEAWAYS:
- Moving abroad can be a challenging but rewarding experience
- Language barriers can be overcome with time and effort
- Integrating into a new community requires openness and willingness to learn
- Hobbies and interests can shape our experiences and help us connect
- Being vulnerable can lead to unexpected love stories.
- Moving to a new country requires effort to integrate and learn the language
- Inviting people is key to building connections in a new place
- Making friends with locals can be challenging as they are settled in their lives
- Establishing a home and roots in a new country takes time and investment
- Maintaining relationships with people back home can be challenging
- Living abroad means letting go of the old life and building a new one

WWYBD?! Tough Love On Victim Mentality, Relocating Across The World and Growing Apart From Friends
It’s the last Friday of the month, so you know what that means - a new WWYBD?! episode, where we answer listener submitted questions. Listeners can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme.
The girls give a proper catch up. Allison shares surprising (or is it not surprising at all?) updates about her extended time in Colombia! Ceara is planning her upcoming trip to New York for a fun wedding-related partnership.
Questions Answered:
- Tips on how to stop having a victim mentality?
- I hate my job and want to move to Hawaii. None of my friends will move with me. Is it too risky to move alone? I think it’s badass.
- I just found out one of my best friends from uni has moved to a new country without telling me - I know we drifted apart after uni, but I would have liked to say goodbye...
- My fiancé’s friend group has been leaving us off invites to events the last few months. I woke up this morning, saw all their stories, started crying about it and I feel like such a loser. It just hurts to feel like this and be in a literal group chat with them when they’re super mean. What should I do?

BTS of Being A Celebrity Social Media Manager with Julia Broome
Julia Broome is a 28-year-old influencer on the rise. However, she wouldn’t describe herself that way - she would say she is an educator, which is true, but we’re obsessed with her personally and so is everyone else because she’s such a delight!
Born and raised in California, Julia has been around the industry her whole life. Her first internship was with a wellness influencer and it was incredibly impactful to launching her career. Today, Julia does social media management, brand building, consultations, website design, SEO strategy, assists clients with product launches, brand deals, partnerships and more.
In this episode, Julia shares insights on building an online presence, tips for someone looking to hire a social media manager and how to become a social media manager yourself. She even has two courses through her SOSH School, which are designed to help with that step by step!
We wrap up with candid conversations about the pros and cons of social media accessibility, self-care, keeping up with crazy schedules, grounding techniques and why it’s so important to support your small business and creative friends.
