144. Living as an Expat Therapist in Portugal with Maggie Dickens

Have you ever dreamed about living as an expat therapist? Well, today I’m catching up with Maggie Dickens, a licensed therapist and relationship coach, who’s been doing just that for the past 18 months. You might remember Maggie from episode 82, where we talked all about her plans to move abroad. Now she’s back to share what life’s really like as an expat therapist in Portugal.

We also chat about how living abroad has changed her perspective on work, travel, and finding balance.
