Settling down after having lived abroad may seem like being doomed to live a boring life. I used to think that way, too, but after 2 years as a deeply fulfilled repat, I've realized how my thinking used to be off.

If you’re pressed for time or you just need a sounding board to get a fresh perspective on your decision, then the Clarity Intensive Session is perfect for you.
This is an intense and condensed 90-minute session where we focus on unpacking the knot of issues keeping you stuck.
Depending on the circumstances of your situation, it’s not a guarantee that you will know what the right decision is by the end of the session.
However, you absolutely will know what you should be focusing on going forward and what doesn’t deserve your continued attention.
“Thanks again for everything during our session this morning! It really put my mind at ease and gave me a lot of clarity as to what I really want out of my job and my next steps.” – Kelly R.
“I didn’t expect the process alone of explaining my situation to a perfect stranger to be so helpful! A lot of what you said resonated with me. I clearly have a lot to think through before going ahead. At least now I know what to focus on!” – Marie S.
