About this episode

Elise Enriquez discusses her life-changing decision to move to Spain and how systems helped her navigate the complexities of this transition.

Mari welcomes back Elise Enriquez (Crew Productivity Coach) to talk about her massive life pivot: she's moving to Spain on August 1st with her wife Kim and their chihuahua. But this isn't just about a cool relocation story - it's about how systems became the tool that let her actually make the decision. Elise breaks down how she sat with herself to figure out if she was moving towards something (being with family) or away from something (guilt, obligation), how her system helped her answer "is this even possible?" before committing, and how it's now holding all the moving pieces (visas, time zones, logistics) so she doesn't lose her mind. They discuss why women without systems can't make big decisions or go after big dreams, what a "bonus brain" actually is, and why the feeling of having your system work is confidence, pride, and relief. Plus: after seven months of the faculty model and doubling membership, the crew still doesn't feel too big - and that's on purpose.
