How to Move Abroad Without Burnout: The "Chapters" Method

We are 7 months away from moving abroad, and the "messy middle" has officially arrived in my kitchen.

In today’s update, I’m giving you a realistic look at what happens when your big dreams meet the physical reality of a house renovation. Our kitchen is currently a "holding area," the basement is being torn apart, and it’s 0 degrees outside.

The biggest lesson I’m learning right now? Everything has its chapter. I’ve had to make the hard choice to stop selling my artwork and vintage items online. Why? Because trying to hold on to "the old life" while building "the new life" was killing my mental bandwidth. If you try to do every stage of a transition at the same time, you're on the fast track to burnout.

In this video, I’m sharing:

The "Chapters" Strategy: Why I’m finishing the "selling" phase to move into "power mode" for house projects.

The Holding Area: A tour of the chaos and why surrendering to the mess is necessary.

Tactical Downsizing: My goal for a "pantry purge" and how to eat through 10 packs of noodles.

Staying Motivated: How 10 minutes of watching travel videos (hello, Greece!) fuels our "Why" when the work gets heavy.

If you are planning a move, a renovation, or a major life gear-shift, remember: You don’t have to carry all the tasks all the time.

Before we dream big for 2026, we have to look at our physical, mental, and financial bandwidth. It’s not about doing less; it’s about doing what actually fits your life right now. https://noellerollinsart.com/free-gif...
