In this episode, we’re finally catching you up on the whirlwind journey that brought our family from Provence to Southern California. We share everything from packing up our entire lives during France’s worst heat wave in 70 years, to the chaos of traveling internationally with nearly four-year-old twins and 16 pieces of luggage, to making one last unforgettable stop in London before officially starting this next chapter. It was exhausting, emotional, and at times completely ridiculous, but it’s a journey we know we’ll never forget.

We also reflect on what it felt like to leave behind the country that shaped us so deeply over the last three years. France challenged us in every possible way, but it also gave us lifelong friendships, incredible memories, a stronger family, and the confidence that comes from doing hard things. As bittersweet as it was to say goodbye, arriving in California felt surprisingly aligned. We talk about why this move feels right for our family, our work, and this new season of life, while celebrating everything our time abroad gave us.

Finally, we share what's next for Away We Go We Go. While our address has changed, our mission hasn't. This podcast has always been about choosing adventure, embracing growth, and building a life with intention, no matter where in the world you are. We're excited to bring you along as we explore this next chapter, share what we've learned from living abroad, and continue proving that life really is what you make it.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing what it has really taken—mentally, emotionally, and practically—to make some of the biggest decisions of our lives. As our family prepares to leave France and move back to California after just three years abroad, I reflect on the mindset shifts, resilience, and unwavering self-belief that have helped us navigate uncertainty, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and major life transitions. From selling our car in France to packing up our entire life once again, I share the behind-the-scenes realities of change and why I believe the hardest part is never the logistics—it’s becoming the person who trusts themselves enough to take the leap.

I also dive into the core beliefs and practices that have shaped how Jordan and I approach life: deciding before the path is visible, living as if your goals have already happened, releasing the need to control the “how” and “when,” and building the discipline to keep moving forward even when things feel messy or uncertain. Whether you’re dreaming of a big move, starting a business, changing careers, or simply trying to create a life that feels more aligned, this episode is a reminder that progress comes from belief, consistency, and courage—not perfection.

Most importantly, I hope this conversation encourages you to trust yourself more deeply. Every meaningful transformation begins with a decision, and every dream becomes possible when you stop waiting for certainty and start taking the next step. If you’ve been looking for a sign to believe in yourself and move toward the life you want, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Away We Go podcast, we're back with an update on the big move! It's been a few weeks since we officially announced that we're trading our French life for sunny San Diego, and a lot has happened since then. With just one month left on the ground here, we're sharing where things stand, what the countdown has actually looked like, and the mix of emotions that comes with closing this chapter.

We also reflect on the bigger "why" behind it all. Three years ago, we packed up our lives and moved to France with our ten-month-old twins because we believed we could do hard things. Now we're doing another hard thing: heading back to the US as Sophie launches her new tech company, Elstori, supporting women through postpartum and early motherhood. (Spoiler: doing scary things never really stops, you just get better at it.)

Plus, we take you along on our final French adventure, a trip to the French Riviera that turned out to be the perfect send-off. And of course, we're answering YOUR questions! We pulled a bunch from Instagram and got into everything you've been asking about the move, life abroad, and what's next.
