Running Away From Your Life? Run Toward A New One Instead. Jen Barnett on Moving Abroad with Purpose and Preparation | Ep 56
In this episode of House of Peregrine, Mickelle welcomes Jen Barnett, co-founder of Expatsi, a company helping Americans move abroad with clarity, confidence, and heart. Jen shares her journey from Alabama to Mérida, Mexico - a move sparked by values, political shifts, and the need for a gentler, more aligned life. What began as a quiet cabin retreat with her husband evolved into Expatsi: a thriving platform guiding thousands toward life abroad.
Jen reflects on her early dream of living overseas, how a simple quiz she created during the pandemic turned into a viral success, and why choosing where to live is also about choosing how to live. Through Expatsi, she now leads scouting trips, offers one-on-one guidance, and hosts a supportive Facebook group and annual conference - all anchored in a six-step framework: ideation, planning, exploration, paperwork, logistics, and settling in.
Mickelle and Jen explore the emotional layers of expatriation - privilege, purpose, and finding home by design, not default. Jen reminds us that a soft landing and community can reset more than your location - it can transform your whole life.
Key Moments:
– Jen’s “put your purse down” philosophy for a calm, intentional move
– The viral quiz that launched Expatsi
– Vibes over visuals: how to feel your potential new city
– Why relocating is both emotional and logistical
