From Culture Shock to Clarity Life After America

We sat down with Keena from Things Mom Shouldve Told You in northern Spain to explore life beyond what we thought was possible in America. We talk about leaving behind the usual story of the American Dream and what it really means to build a life abroad. We dive into the impact of Joe Melon’s tariffs the changing immigration rules and how AI is reshaping work and opportunity for Black Americans 45 plus thinking of a new path. From culture shocks to practical steps this conversation offers clarity and hope for those ready to reimagine what comes next. Are WE readyJoin this channel to get access to perks:
