America is Changing Fast. Here's What You Can Control
Sunday Global Note: Week of January 26th
This week, over 200 new subscribers joined Your Expat Life - wow! Whether you're up late researching international schools or already navigating life abroad, I'm glad you're here. ♥️
When I started my expat journey in 2015, I wished for a community that truly understood both the dreams and challenges of creating a global life. That's precisely what we're building together.
As many of you have noticed, significant changes are occurring in America. From climate policy to immigration reform, from healthcare to education, the shifts are profound and rapid.
I've been having many conversations with families lately who feel overwhelmed by the news cycle. The natural response is fear and anxiety about what these changes mean for your family's future.
Here's what I want you to know: While moving abroad won't solve America's challenges, it can give your family options. That's what global living is about - creating choices for your future.
But let's be strategic about this. Understanding the government and policies of potential destination countries is just as crucial as researching schools and housing. It will impact your daily life.
My advice? Focus on what you can control:
Your family's wellbeing
Your children's education
Your professional growth
Your next steps toward change
This isn't about running away but toward opportunities that align with your family's values and dreams.
Whether you stay or go, that choice is yours to make. And whatever you decide, this community is here to support your journey.
Focus on what matters most: creating the best possible life for your family, wherever possible.
