In this episode, she sits down with me to break down how she actually affords the lifestyle.

Nicole and I walk through exactly what she spent on her recent three-month stay in Spain, how she and her partner built a life where either of them could afford it on their own, and her best travel hacks for stretching the budget. Plus, she shares the mindset shift that turned three months in Europe from a vacation fantasy into an annual ritual.

Nicole reveals her "enough" philosophy that lets her spend $12,000 on a kitchen renovation instead of $50,000, the mantra she uses to stay the course even when she’s tempted, and the one question she wants us all to ask ourselves to craft and afford our dream lives.
