Does this sound familiar..?

I’m finally living in Portugal! Now what?

This is it! Your dream of living abroad has become reality after months of navigating the congested visa application process, gathering endless documentation, and proving financial stability. Then, as if almost out of the blue, you are approved for residency!

But there is little time for celebration. You sell your cherished belongings, donate what remains, and board that one-way flight with excitement and anticipation.

The initial honeymoon phase brings stunning sunsets, exciting nightlife and friendly locals. You automatically feel like you belong and could live here forever.

Then the real reality settles in. Regardless of how many friends you’ve made or how well you’re picking up a new language, everything feels unfamiliar and foreign. You find yourself feeling sluggish and unsure how to move forward in a place that suddenly feels like a puzzle.

In a moment of clarity, you decide that if you’re going to thrive, it’s time to start building a life in your new home.

Now for some good news, this time, you can create anything and everything you want.

You just need a little bit of help.

Good Energy Coaching is here to assist.

As your coach, I’ll help you:

  • Identify your core passions and strengths
  • Explore fresh opportunities where your skills shine
  • Create a clear, actionable plan to achieve your goals
  • Overcome fear and self-doubt and, quite frankly, get your sh*t together!

Whether you’re retiring in a milder climate, bringing your work with you as a nomad untethered by a traditional office job or reinventing your entire life in a new location, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Let’s tune in to a fresh frequency and start your transformation today.

My Story:
I’ve always been a dreamer. For as long as I can remember, my mom always had the radio playing at home or in the car. She couldn’t get through the day without her favorite songs so I dreamed that one day I could be the voice on the other side of the speakers playing the music that made her so happy. Sadly, I lost her to breast cancer when I was just five years old. But I didn’t lose her passion for music and love for the radio.

At 19, I landed my first on-air radio gig in my hometown of Philadelphia. It was the beginning of a long, wonderful and successful journey that carried me across the country to New York, Dallas, Austin and San Francisco where I spent two decades on the air.

I was living my dream of entertaining an audience and playing their favorite songs just like the personalities that made my mom smile and sing.

But dreams do not last forever. Eventually, you wake up…and dream up new things! Like moving to Portugal.

My husband and I were talking about living somewhere outside of the United States very early in our relationship. We explored many different destinations around the world but after our first visit to Portugal, we did something we hadn’t in most places we visited, we returned…several times! We fell in love with the people, the land, the culture and, of course, the food!

After living here for a few years, I heard the words “energia positiva” and “boa energia” given to me as a compliment from friends and colleagues. From that, it was clear “Good Energy” was the perfect name for my coaching practice.

Maintaining that good energy, leading teams, learning about new cultures and staying creatively energized taught me valuable lessons in resilience, focus, and emotional well-being.

Those experiences shaped the foundation of Good Energy Coaching.
