In this episode of the Mamis Abroad series, I sit down with Karina Wright, a content creator, community builder, and certified no-gatekeeping reina! Karina made the bold decision to move back to the motherland with her husband and teenage son, and she has been sharing every step of the journey with her growing community at @karinalifeinmexico.

She is giving our people real, practical resources on how to find remote work, navigate the emotional load of returning, and build a life on your own terms. Whether you are thinking about making this move or just need some inspiration to dream a little bigger, this episode is for you!

In this episode of the "Mamis Abroad" series, I sit down with Alyssa Bolaños, the Latina mom behind @casabolanos, who made the radical decision to leave the U.S. with her family and embrace world schooling abroad. We dive deep into what it really takes to uproot your life, sell everything you own, and create a new future for your kids outside of the United States. Alyssa's story is raw, honest, and incredibly inspiring, especially for those who've been feeling that whisper of "what if we just... left?"
