#4 | Thinking About Leaving Your Hometown? Listen to This

Show Notes

I am SO happy you’re here 💌

In this episode, I share the biggest lessons I learnt after leaving my hometown of 27 years, as a girl who loves her family more than anything.

I talk about what actually happens when you leave, and normalise the discomfort that comes with growth… while still choosing to step away and pursue a different life for yourself. This is the honest conversation I wish I heard before I left, and the advice I would give to my younger self who was terrified to make the move.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to leave your hometown, or you’re in that in-between stage of not knowing whether to stay or go, I hope this episode feels like a grounding, big-sister chat that helps you tune into what’s right for you.

Thank you so much for listening — it would mean the world to me to hear from you, so don’t forget to tag me in your stories (@christinapengilly) & share this episode with someone you love 💌
