About this episode

Autumn Denae discusses her transformative decision to move back to Madrid for her master's degree and the lessons learned from taking risks.

In this week's episode, we're chatting about one of the biggest decisions I've ever made: moving back to Madrid to pursue my master's degree, and how taking that leap completely changed the trajectory of my life. Looking back on this past year, I'm sharing the highs, the challenges, and the biggest lessons I've learned about taking risks, starting over, and creating a life you're genuinely excited to wake up to. In this episode, we cover: Why sometimes you have to change your whole life to change your whole life. How one decision to move abroad transformed my health, career, friendships, confidence, and overall happiness. The fears, uncertainty, and setbacks that came with taking such a big risk (and why I'd do it all over again). The biggest lessons this year taught me about trusting yourself, embracing uncertainty, and becoming the person you're meant to be. Why everything you want might be waiting on the other side of the risk you're afraid to take. I hope this episode reminds you that your current reality doesn't have to be your forever reality. Your entire life can change in a year—and sometimes all it takes is one brave decision to set everything in motion. I hope you enjoy…
