My Interview with Meghana Kamdar, American Expat & InvestHER

In today's episode, I have a very special guest to share with you. Meghana is a wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, global expat, and executive life coach.

She supports busy parents and caregivers in creating their own uncharted life path of more freedom.

"Designing your life uncharted is about redefining what success looks like for you so you can own your time, prioritize your family, and explore your personal pursuits without compromising."

She is a second generation South Asian American, originally from the San Francisco Bay area of California, just like me! :)

In January, 2020, she and her husband packed up their three kids, left the United States and relocated to Lisbon, Portugal in pursuit of a lifelong dream, a life of more freedom.

The move was made possible by deeply believing and having the courage to follow through on the necessary action steps to make her dreams a reality. She focused on the higher vision she held for her life, her family, and her future.

Sarah: Thank you so much for coming on the show today. Thank you.

Meghana: Thank you, Sarah. Thanks for this opportunity.

Sarah: So I would love to hear a little bit more about you. It's not every day a normal American woman decides to up and move out of the country! So would you mind sharing with us a little bit, what did your life look like when you were living in San Francisco and what prompted you to make that change?

Meghana: I have to say it was within me for decades.

I feel like it was lifelong. Like it was in my heart to make a move abroad since as long as I could remember; going on study abroad and trips abroad in my younger age, and it had always lived in me, but I had a hard time really giving it life, I would say, because it always felt like the priorities of life in the United States (of living in the Bay area) were always around.

My job and career and [goal of] gaining financial success, and I think that was also pulling me in a different direction, and it took me away from that bigger dream for most of my twenties and thirties.

Sarah: Sorry to interrupt, but but I love how you touch on the fear.

Because I think a lot of us would love to be expats. A lot of us would probably love to go live somewhere else, but that fear holds us back and since this is your area of expertise, I'd love if you would share with us, how did you overcome that? I mean, you also weren't a single woman at the time, right? You had a family, you had a career. How did you overcome that?

Meghana: I think there aren't a lot of people that do this move that look like me or that have my life circumstances or responsibilities, right? Raising three kids, young kids. I really didn't have a lot of models out there. I didn't know anybody that was trying to do this kind of alternative lifestyle, living abroad with kids.

I really had to believe deeply in what I wanted for myself and to such a degree that I ignored like anything else; any other option for my life.

At a certain point, it had just become so evident in me that I had to pursue... I had to at least give it a chance.

It was more painful to stay where I was and doing the things that I feel were expected of me, that felt more mundane and routine and painful and even scary.

I would stay that like, that was it. And I used that to propel me to overcome my thoughts around, or any kind of fear of like, well, "what if", and "what if it doesn't work out" and to just go with it, go with what felt really right for us, for me, my husband.
