What happens when the UK no longer feels like the right fit for your family?

In this episode, Emma Smithson shares how she, her husband and daughter made the bold decision to leave the UK and start again in Thailand.

We talk about the real reasons behind the move — including the rising cost of living — and what it’s actually like building a new life abroad. From creating a sustainable lifestyle to documenting their journey on YouTube, Emma opens up about the practicalities, fears and freedoms that come with stepping off the expected path.

We also dive into their decision to “unschool” their daughter and what learning looks like outside the traditional system.

This isn’t a holiday story.

It’s about choice, courage and designing life differently.

If you’ve ever wondered could we actually do this? — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by Morgan Price who made the huge decision to emigrate to Australia with her family. We talk honestly about what led her to that moment, the fears and doubts that came with it, and how it felt to uproot not just herself, but the people she loves the most.

We get into:

• Why the idea of leaving the UK kept pulling at her
• The practical realities of emigrating (beyond what social media shows)
• What surprised her most once they arrived
• And how the move reshaped her sense of possibility for the future

If you’ve ever dreamed of moving abroad, felt restless with the life you’re living, or wondered whether you’re brave enough to choose a different path — this conversation will resonate deeply.

It’s about more than emigration. It’s about trusting yourself when the "safer" option is to stay put.

Kate's future was mapped out from a young age as she aspired to be a Doctor. After reaching the point of starting her surgical training, she experienced burnout.

This made her stop in her tracks, take time out from her employment and really think about what she wanted to do next.

What lay ahead was a completely new life; a life far removed from the stresses and strains of life in a busy London hospital as she made the decision to focus on starting a new life in Portugal whilst still being able to work on her own business.
