My name is Lauren McDonnell. My family and I live in the Netherlands after moving from the US. I also lived in Canada for a year when I was in my 30s.
A couple of years ago, you could have looked at my life on paper, and I was living a life that most people would look at and say, wow, she has it all. Married to a wonderful woman, with 3 kids, a big house, nice car, vacations, a big job with a fancy title.
And even with all of that, I still felt unfulfilled, like it still wasn’t what I truly wanted deep down. I was depressed and anxious, relying on medication, and I wasn’t taking care of myself. I felt stuck and was isolating myself.
And thankfully I was able to find my way out. With a lot of work on myself, prioritizing how I communicated what I wanted and needed out of life, and taking a leap by moving our family from the US to the Netherlands.
We have a wonderful community around us, are learning a new language, are getting to travel all over Europe and experience different cultures, and are becoming global citizens.
Now, I’ve created She Thrives Abroad to help other women do exactly the same thing. Move abroad and live the life of their dreams.
