Why Move So Far Away? Midlife Reinvention & Faith

Описание: Why move so far away? On Day 45 of my 100-day overseas job search, I’m answering the big question about why I'm targeting Australia and sharing a huge update: I just applied for a rare U.S. Navy public affairs role in Rockingham! 🇦🇺

But the journey isn't just about wins. I’m also opening up about a recent rejection, the power of having a "human witness" on LinkedIn, and how I’m using Proverbs 3:5–6 to stay grounded when the waiting gets hard.

In this episode, we explore:
⚓ The details of the U.S. Navy position in Australia I applied for.
🙏 How to handle job rejection without losing your self-worth.
✨ 5 reasons why "adventure" is actually a smart career strategy for midlife reinvention.
🌬️ A guided breathing session to reset your nervous system (perfect for anxiety!).
✍️ 5 Journaling prompts to help you navigate your own "middle" season.

Whether you are looking for a job abroad, navigating a midlife pivot, or just need encouragement to keep trusting God's plan, this video is for you.
