Should I quit my job and move abroad to start an online business for a better quality of life? 💭This is the question so many high-achieving freedom-seeking women are asking.

In this episode of The Remote CEO Life Podcast, I’m sharing a real-life expansion story from my guest Alex Kennedy, a solopreneur, mindset coach and shuffle dance teacher who quit her job and started an online business so she could move abroad to thrive in life in Costa Rica.

We talk all about choosing yourself and why that’s the most powerful thing you can do if you’re dreaming of creating a freedom-filled lifestyle for yourself. We get into the reality of what it takes to actually quit your job, move abroad and start an online business without burning out. Even inspiring her parents to move abroad and start a business themselves!!

Alex’s story is proof that when you’re brave enough to choose yourself and start an online business – “everything is figure-out-able.”

If you’ve been wondering, should I quit my job? How do I start an online business? Or could I really move abroad and make it work? This episode is here to inspire your first actions towards your life of freedom!

I'm Sophie

Online business coach, podcast host, mental health advocate, speaker, founder of TINAH, community builder, full-time digital nomad, and general trailblazing, rule breaker…

I tried to live a “normal” life: I spent 11+ years working my way up in the fashion industry, working for brands like Ralph Lauren and Burberry. I had the apartment in the city, I lived for going out at the weekends, spent money on designer bags and holidays – until I realized this lifestyle DID NOT FULFIL MEI was waking up with anxiety every day – surviving, but definitely not thriving.

So I quit. I left my 9-to-5 behind to start an online business that supported the lifestyle I actually wanted. Now that looks like slow mornings, daily beach walks, co-working with like-minded entrepreneurs, yoga, meditation, and lots of social connections.

Since 2020, I’ve built multiple online business offers – from online business coaching and consulting to online courses, digital products, and a mental health marketplace – all while travelling the world and living life, and earning money on my own terms.

Now… I’m on a mission to help more people break free from lives that don’t feel good for them and create more freedom through starting and growing an online business.
