Planning a move abroad?
Still searching?
Still doubting?
Still spinning?
Let’s change that in just 60 minutes!
When you're carrying the weight of a life-changing decision, sometimes the strongest move is to let someone help
You’ve done the research. You’ve read the blogs. You’ve made the spreadsheets.
And somehow, you still don’t feel any closer to knowing what to do.
Not because you’re not trying.
Not because you’re unclear about what matters.
Because you’re carrying a decision that impacts your family,
your future – and your identity.
And no checklist in the world can sort through that kind of weight.
This isn’t about finding the 'right' school or figuring out visas.
This is about finally hearing your own voice beneath the noise.
You’re not stuck because you’re weak
You’re stuck because no one’s helped you carry the emotional side of this

It probably started as a quiet thought:
“What if we moved abroad?”
And from there, the tabs exploded.
School systems. Visa requirements. Cost of living spreadsheets. Facebook groups. Late-night podcast binges.
At first, it felt productive. Hopeful, even.
But then… it didn’t.
Because the more you researched, the more overwhelmed you became.
The more options you uncovered, the more frozen you felt.
The more you tried to figure it out, the less you trusted your own instincts.
“If we don’t make this move soon… maybe we never will.”
Now, even small decisions feel heavy.
The school calendar looms. Your kids are getting older.
And beneath it all, a quiet panic has started to build:
“If we don’t make this move soon… maybe we never will.”
But you keep circling the same questions – not because you’re incapable, but because you’ve been carrying too much, for too long, alone.
What you need isn’t another plan.
It’s a pause.
A place to breathe.
And a conversation that doesn’t ask you to explain everything from the beginning.

I’ve lived the dream – and the doubt
That’s why I built the session I wish I’d had
I’ve moved abroad with a kid – more than once.
I’ve navigated schools, culture shocks, paperwork, and the thousand tiny ways that uncertainty chips away at your confidence.
I’ve also come back – and wrestled with what it means to reshape your life again, in reverse.
Since 2012, I’ve been writing and speaking about what most people skip over:
- The emotional cost of life-changing decisions
- The guilt of 'having it good' but still wanting more
- The fear of getting it wrong – and the pressure to hold it all together for everyone else
This isn’t just a job for me. It’s a mission.
Because I remember what it felt like to be drowning in research and still feel completely alone.
I remember not needing more data – just someone who understood.
That’s why I created this Expat Espresso session.
Not as a sales pitch. But as one intentional hour where everything quiets down – and you get to rise above the noise.
One hour. Zero pressure. Real clarity.
Leave the session lighter, clearer, and finally moving forward – on your terms.

know what matters most
This isn’t a masterclass.
It’s not a course.
And it’s definitely not a sales spiel disguised as support.
It’s one focused, emotionally grounded hour – designed to help you:
- Breathe again
- Hear your own voice
- And finally know what matters most
No more spiralling in research.
No more guilt for not having it all figured out.
No more pressure to pretend you’re fine when you’re quietly unravelling.
calm confidence
By the end of our call, you won’t just have clarity –
- You’ll have calm.
- You’ll have confidence.
- You’ll have a direction that feels true to you – not one squeezed out of fear or urgency.
Because clarity doesn’t mean certainty.
It means peace.
It means movement.
It means you’re no longer doing this alone.

Is this for YOU?
You’re not looking for hype. You’re not here for fluff. If you’re looking for kind honesty, grounded insight, and the clearest hour you’ve had in months – you’re in the right place.
You’re ready for one grounded conversation that cuts through the noise – and reconnects you to your own clarity. This is for you if you want to feel like yourself again – not the over-functioning version everyone else sees.
This is for you if you’ve been holding the decision alone
And you’re ready for one honest hour to finally feel clear – and steady – again
This session is designed for the person who’s been carrying a question no one else seems to understand.
You might be:
- A parent staring at the school calendar, wondering if you’re running out of time
- A researcher drowning in blog posts, podcasts, and spreadsheets – but still no closer to a decision
- The emotional anchor of your household who’s strong for everyone else… but secretly exhausted
- Someone who thought they’d have this figured out by now – and feels guilt that they don't
- Wrestling with the quiet ache of “what if we never do it?” – and the louder fear of “what if we do?”
This isn’t for everyone – and that’s intentional
Because your clarity deserves more than another vague conversation
This session is not for you if:
- You’re only looking for logistics help like visa requirements or school rankings
- You want a long-term program or drip-fed coaching sequence
- You’re not ready to hear honest insight from someone who’s lived it
- You expect to be gently coached toward your own conclusions – instead of being told the truth (with care)
- You’re still hoping another checklist will make the decision for you
This isn’t therapy. It’s not “holding space” until you find the answer yourself.
- It’s mentorship
- It’s lived experience, spoken plainly
- It’s emotional clarity and practical direction – without pressure or fluff
You’ve known for a while
But admitting it out loud felt too risky – until now
The truth is… you’ve already felt it in your body.
That sense that time is moving.
That your family’s window is narrowing.
That this isn’t just a move – it’s a pivot point in the story you’re writing for your life.
You’ve known this isn’t about passports or packing lists.
It’s about wanting to live with intention – and the fear of getting it wrong.
And maybe, quietly, you’ve already realised:
You can’t keep doing this to yourself.
The mental loop.
The guilt.
The silence.
You don’t need a perfect answer right now.
You just need to stop pretending you’re not already holding one.
Make your move and let’s speak it out loud – together.

This isn’t coaching.
It’s emotional anchoring.
A 60-minute clarity session designed to quiet the noise, steady your thoughts, and reconnect you to what’s true.
Here’s how it works – and why it works so quickly:
Pre-call grounding
(Optional but powerful)
You’ll have the chance to share your thoughts, concerns, or tangled fears in advance.
Even writing them down often begins the clarity process before we speak.
The clarity conversation
This isn’t a coaching session where you’re gently nudged toward your own conclusions.
This is a focused, truth-telling hour – grounded in lived experience – where I ask the right questions, offer perspective, and tell you what I see.
We’ll clear out the emotional fog, separate the real fears from the false ones, and name what’s actually keeping you stuck.
Post-call reflection pack
You’ll receive a personalised follow-up email with a recording of our session, curated next steps, and tailored resources based on what we uncovered.
This isn’t generic – it’s support that sticks, built around your unique story.
Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need a long program.
You don’t need more pressure.
You need one hour that finally gets to the heart of it.
That’s what this is.
“I didn’t know how much I needed this – until I exhaled.”
What others have said after just one hour that changed everything
“Carole doesn’t just understand the logistics – she understands the emotional landscape. She helped me see the bigger picture, navigate my fears about my children, and realize that not every step has to be perfect. That was the breakthrough.”
P.P. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
“There are a lot of consultants out there… but Carole? She delivers.
No fluff. Just insight, structure, and support from someone who’s truly walked this road.”
Danielle H. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
“She just gets it. You don’t have to explain everything – she already knows. I felt seen, steadied, and no longer alone in the decision.”
ALAN A. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
“Carole was the push we needed. Honest, practical, and encouraging. After just one hour, we had solid plans and renewed excitement for our future abroad.”
Tara C. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
“I was stuck in overwhelm. Uncertain. Scared. Trying to make sense of a complex situation and a long list of moving parts.
Then I found Carole – and within one hour, I felt a sense of direction, reassurance, and confidence I hadn’t touched in months.”
M.M. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
“This wasn’t coaching. It was clarity. I came in questioning if I’d failed… and left planning my next move with confidence and calm.
Carole reminded me that I wasn’t wrong – I was just unsupported. And now I’m not.”
O.O. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
What changes in just one hour?
The emotional arc of your clarity session – from overwhelm to grounded forward motion
Before the Call
You’re circling.
Overthinking.
Second-guessing.
Holding back tears some days, holding it all together on others.
You’ve been trying to research your way to clarity, but all it’s done is add to the noise.
You’re carrying the weight of a life-changing decision – and no one seems to get it.
During the Call
You exhale.
Not because everything is solved – but because you don’t have to explain yourself from the beginning.
I ask the right questions. You feel seen.
You speak your fears out loud – and realise they’re not as tangled as they felt in your head.
We sort through the mess together. You feel the fog lifting.
By the end, the spiral has stopped.
You’re not spinning – you’re steady.
After the Call
You feel lighter.
Clearer.
Capable of making a decision that aligns with your values – not your fear.
You have the recording, the follow-up support, and a direction you trust.
Not a perfect plan. But a powerful shift.
You’ve stopped asking, “What should we do?”
And started saying, “Here’s what feels right – and here’s what happens next.”
What you get
One Hour. Three Powerful Shifts.
Lasting Impact.
A Private 60-Minute Clarity Session
One focused, emotionally attuned conversation where we unravel the tangle in your mind and steady the storm in your heart.

Feel seen, clear, and unburdened.
Honest Insight from Someone Who’s Lived It

No pressure. No fluff. Just the clarity you’ve been searching for.
Trust your instincts again – and begin.

What’s the cost of staying stuck?
Because this isn’t just one hour – it’s the moment everything begins to shift
You’ve already spent:
Hours researching with no real clarity
Months second-guessing every option
Countless mental cycles holding the entire decision alone
And you already know:
Another checklist, blog post, or podcast isn’t going to fix it.
But one grounded, honest hour can.
An hour that clears the fog.
Releases the guilt.
Names what’s true – and what’s just noise.
That’s not just worth your time.
It’s worth protecting your peace, your family’s future, and your own ability to move forward.
Because clarity doesn’t cost.
Confusion does.

Questions you might still be holding
Answered with the honesty and empathy you deserve
Yes – because we’re not starting from scratch. You’ve already done the research. You’ve already been circling the decision.
This hour is designed to cut through the noise, fast. You’ll be surprised how quickly clarity comes when you’re finally seen, heard, and guided without pressure.
You’re allowed to unravel. This isn’t a performance – it’s a pause. Whether you cry, get quiet, or lose your words, I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
You don’t have to come polished. Just come real.
And you won't be the first!
Because of the time and care I put into preparing for each session, all bookings are final.
But if you’re unsure whether this is the right fit, feel free to reach out before booking. I want this to feel right for both of us. Just drop me an email.
No. This is mentorship. It’s direct, honest, and grounded in real experience – not frameworks or scripts.
I won’t coach you toward a vague insight. I’ll speak plainly, ask clearly, and guide you with kindness and clarity.
Perfect. I work best with nuance. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we speak – that’s the point. If it feels messy, you’re in the right place.
Contact me! Time zones can be tricky, I know that. I'm sure we can work something out.
I'm based in the UK, so my time zone is GMT (or BST if summer time) and I use 24 hour clock, which does confuse some people. I use it to make sure we don't get confused and inadvertently book a call in the early hours of the morning, or even the wrong day - it's happened!
The booking calendar automatically displays your time zone. My available times will quickly convert to your time zone.

You’ve done the hard part: caring this much
Now let’s do the kind part – getting you clear
If you’re still reading, it’s because something in you knows:
This decision matters.
You’re tired of carrying it alone.
And you’re ready for someone who can help – without judgment, pressure, or performance.
This session is that help.
Let this be the hour you stop circling the question…
and start moving forward – with calm, grounded clarity.
What this hour feels like – in their words
Real moments. Real clarity. Real relief.
Before: “I was overwhelmed, unsure, scared. I didn’t know if moving was the right thing or how to even begin thinking clearly.”
During: “Carole was calm, direct, and supportive. She didn’t tiptoe – she helped me see the situation with fresh clarity and compassion.”
After: “I left with a sense of direction, confidence, and relief. It felt like someone finally understood – and I wasn’t alone anymore.”
m.M. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
Before: “I had horrible expat anxiety. I felt stuck, scared, and totally weighed down by uncertainty.”
During: “Carole brought a calm, no-nonsense energy I really needed. She helped me see I wasn’t failing – just overloaded.”
After: “I left hopeful and excited again. I stopped spiralling. I felt brave, not broken.”
e.b. Expat Espresso 1-1 Client
Before: “I’d convinced myself I’d failed – that moving abroad was a mistake. I wasn’t sure I could even try again.”
During: “Carole listened without judgment and helped me see what was actually mine to carry – and what wasn’t.”
After: “For the first time, I saw the future with fresh eyes. It wasn’t a failure. It was a redirection. And I have a new plan now.”

Some windows don’t stay open forever

If you’re circling this decision, there’s a reason it’s loud right now
You already know the school calendar won’t wait.
Your child’s next transition is coming.
Your mental bandwidth is shrinking.
The longer you delay, the heavier it feels.
Not because time is running out – but because clarity has a cost when it's postponed.
And on a practical level:
I only offer a limited number of these sessions each month.
Because when I show up, I show up fully – and I won’t compromise that quality.
If this decision matters…
and if it’s been living in your mind rent-free for months…
Then let’s give it the hour it deserves.
Let this be the hour everything changes
You’ve thought about this long enough – now it’s time to move with clarity
One decision.
One hour.
One moment of calm, grounded clarity that changes everything.
If you’re ready to stop spiralling and start moving forward –
I’d be honoured to walk you through it.
