Have you ever had that quiet moment—right after a long workday, or as you’re loading the dishwasher at 9pm after getting the kids to bed—where you pause and think: Is this really it? Is this the only way life is “supposed” to look? You’ve done everything “right.” Built a good career. Bought the house. Checked all the boxes. But still, there’s this pull. To live more. More connected. More spaciously. More ease-fully. You want to show your kids the world. Hell— You want your days to feel free,...

Dear Parents, School photo from Fall 2021, when my three all started attending the same neighborhood school in Lisbon. That’s when life started to really feel easeful, full of adventure and freedom. I know how it is... You keep telling yourself: “I just need to save a little more.” “Next year I’ll have more time.” “Maybe once the kids are bit older…” But let me ask you— When has waiting ever made you more confident? When has delaying the life you actually want made it feel more possible? We...

When Ariana came to me, she believed she and her family were ready to move to Portugal. They had done the research. The finances were in place. The decision was made. But what she didn’t expect was this: “While I was focused on the what and how of our impending move, Meghana gracefully guided me to focus more deeply on the why… After some deep introspection (and a few tears), it became clear that while I was mentally and financially ready for this major life change, I was not yet spiritually...

Dear dreamer Reader I get this question all the time: “But Meghana… is this actually possible for my family?” Let me tell you what my client A.A. said: “Meghana helped me take our dream of moving abroad—school, visas, work and all—and turn it into a real, doable plan. We made the move in less than 12 months. Life-changing.” Or from K.N.: “With Meghana’s support, I launched two passion projects and aligned my work with my values—all while staying present with my family.” If you’re thoughtful,...

Truth is, most families will never move abroad. Not because they don’t want it badly enough. Not because it’s too expensive or too risky. But because they think they have to figure it all out before they even begin. That belief? It’s the trap. It’s why so many smart, capable families stay stuck in endless research loops—burning out on facebook groups, spreadsheets, and YouTube channels—while life keeps moving. If that sounds familiar, and you’re ready to break out of the cycle, we need to...

Dear BIG Dreamers, There was a time when I quietly gave up on my dream. I had studied city planning and wanted to launch a career in international development. I imagined working abroad, traveling often, doing impactful work. But that “right” job—the one that would give me permission to live that life—never came. So I buried the dream. Told myself, maybe that life just isn’t for me. Even though deep down, it was what I wanted more than anything. Fast forward another decade (2015) —and I was...

Somewhere around 7 years back, I was deep in research mode—Googling all things Portugal, reading blogs, comparing visas… hoping clarity would magically arrive. Sound familiar? You want to move to Portugal, or at least you want to check it out for a possible move. You know your family is ready for a RADICALLY BETTER life. But instead of taking action, you’re buried in spreadsheets, cost-of-living indexes, and Instagram reels of people already living your dream. Here’s the mistake I see over...

A decade ago, while pregnant with my second baby, I was breaking under the pressure to be everything. The perfect mom. The supportive partner. The ambitious professional. The emotional anchor. The multitasking machine. And still… I felt like I was failing at all of it. Why? Because I was doing it alone—with just my partner. We had no village. My husband’s family is Kenyan. Mine is Indian. But since we were both raised in the U.S., somewhere in that cultural mix, the generational support I was...
