Episode: 282 Softening into Spain with Anna Preston

What does it really feel like to move abroad, start a family, and build a life in a new culture?

In today's episode, Anna Preston joins us for a soulful and honest conversation about navigating major life transitions with presence and alignment. From relocating to Europe to growing her family, Anna shares what it takes to stay grounded through uncertainty, change, and the emotional ups and downs of everyday life.

We explore the cultural differences between American and Spanish/European lifestyles, and how shifting away from a high-achieving, fast-paced mindset can open the door to a more balanced, connected, and fulfilling way of living.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

  • Moving abroad and adjusting to a new culture
  • Motherhood and identity shifts
  • Mindfulness practices for staying grounded during change
  • The tension between striving vs. slowing down
  • How to build community and ask for support in a new place
  • Letting go of pressure and embracing a more present, authentic life

If you're navigating a life transition, craving a slower pace, or seeking ways to stay centered in the midst of change, this episode will meet you right where you are.
