No Place Better Than The US? -AND- Wellness Abroad Pt 2
IG Live from June 2024 where Christine discusses the latest bonus episode, Wellness Abroad pt. 2.
In light of the most recent US Presidential debate, there is renewed interest in moving abroad.
Along with the renewed interest in leaving the US, there is a recurring chorus of naysayers claiming that "everyone who moved abroad in 2016 has returned," or "everywhere is just as 'bad' as the US.
Christine discusses these sentiments and shares her opinion based on living in Spain for 7 years and interviewing 100+ Black women who have lived and thrived abroad.

It was always obvious to me from the jump, but I understand the sentiment for wanting it to be real. It always felt like a West African MLM.
