203: Listener QA: Moving to Mexico

Done with Dieting with Elizabeth Sherman

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leave behind the fast-paced American lifestyle and start anew in a foreign country? Maybe you've seen my posts about the gorgeous beaches, slower pace, and affordable living in Mexico and thought, “Could I really do this?” In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what nearly eight years of living in Mexico has really been like—the good, the challenging, and the life-changing lessons I’ve learned along the way.

From navigating language barriers to discovering a simpler, more intentional way of living, I’m sharing the unexpected shifts that have shaped my expat experience. I’ll talk about why I’ve resisted doctor visits, the surprising longevity of my workout clothes, and how our community rallied around us when we faced challenges like losing power shortly after moving. You’ll also get the behind-the-scenes scoop on our House Hunters International episode and why life here feels safer than I ever expected.

If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a tropical paradise or stepping away from the pressures of modern American life, this episode offers an honest, unfiltered look at expat life. Whether you’re seriously considering a move or just curious, I hope my story inspires you to think differently about what’s possible for your future. Let’s dive into your biggest questions about daily life, cultural differences, and the real trade-offs involved in creating a new life abroad.

Tune in for a heartfelt, eye-opening conversation about redefining what really matters, finding community, and embracing a life that’s simpler, richer, and full of unexpected blessings.
