  Pause, Perspective & Possibility: Brittany Haney on Fertility & Global Living

  Sep 18, 202647 minS8

  What can living across the world teach us about fertility, identity, and the lives we’re building? In this episode, I’m joined by Brittany Haney, who spent nearly 15 years living and working across Asia, including China, Cambodia, and Indonesia. After years of building a life abroad, Brittany found herself in Europe pursuing IVF as part of her journey toward solo parenthood. Brittany opens up about the medical setbacks she has experienced, what it’s like to navigate fertility treatment abroad, and why she ultimately chose to pursue IVF in Europe rather than the United States. We talk about learning Mandarin, adapting to new cultures, becoming a global citizen, and how living across different countries has shaped her perspective on identity, fertility, and what it means to create a life on your own terms. We also talk about something that can be surprisingly difficult for women who are accustomed to making things happen: the pause . What happens when you can't control the timeline? When the next chapter isn't yours to force? And what might become possible when you give yourself permission to slow down? It’s a candid conversation about fertility, global living, timing, and the perspectives we gain when life takes us somewhere we never expected to be.

  Genise Fulton: Reinventing Life on Her Own Terms in Thailand

  Aug 30, 202630 minS8

  When Genise Fulton became a mom at 19, she assumed some of the life she imagined for herself would have to be put on hold. Years later, she’s proving that “later” doesn’t mean “never.” Now retired and living in Thailand, Genise is embracing a chapter centered around travel, wellness, fun, and—most importantly—herself. From Mexico, where she obtained permanent residency, to Vietnam, Costa Rica, and now Thailand, she’s created a life that looks very different from the one she once thought was possible. In this conversation, we talk about early motherhood, retirement, travel, reinventing yourself, and what happens when you finally give yourself permission to live the life you once thought you missed out on. And there’s a little plot twist: Genise and I first met in Bangkok in 2025, only to discover that we had once lived just ten minutes apart in New Jersey. Because apparently, we had to travel halfway around the world to meet. This is a conversation about embracing the chapter you’re in—and realizing there may be a whole lot more life waiting for you.

  Ulonda Harris: Locating Cozy in Zaragoza - From Burnout to Belonging

  Jul 17, 202642 minS8

  There comes a point when staying costs more than leaving. For Ulonda Harris, the journey to belonging began with burnout. After years of feeling exhausted by the pace and rising cost of life in Texas, she never imagined that living abroad would be part of her story—even though her daughter had already built a life in Spain. But one late-night YouTube search sent her down a rabbit hole that would change everything. Today, Ulonda calls Zaragoza, Spain, home. In this episode, Ulonda shares how she went from feeling stuck to creating a softer, more intentional life abroad. As the creator of Locating Cozy , she's helping other Black women redefine what home, freedom, and peace can look like—one intentional decision at a time. Together, we explore the realities of burnout, the courage it takes to choose a different path, and why moving abroad wasn't about running away—it was about finally choosing herself. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the true cost of staying isn't always financial What it's really like to build a life in Zaragoza, Spain Why community and support can make all the difference when starting over How Ulonda is helping other Black women "locate their cozy" and create lives rooted in peace If you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than simply getting by, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the greatest investment you can make is in your own peace.

  Andrea & Gene Hayden: A Life Unrecognizable | Building a New Life in Coimbra, Portugal

  Jul 3, 202654 minS8

  What happens when you stop building the life everyone expects...and start creating the life you actually need? In this deeply personal episode of the Blaxit Global Podcast, Gene and Andrea Hayden share the remarkable journey that led them from Texas to Coimbra, Portugal—and why this move was about so much more than changing countries. Long before Portugal was even on their radar, a family member quietly planted a seed that would span more than four decades. That unexpected connection would eventually come full circle in a way neither of them could have imagined. Andrea also opens up about a lifetime of resilience—from losing her mother as an infant to navigating multiple autoimmune diseases, including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Graves' disease. Rather than allowing her health to define her future, she and Gene made intentional decisions about where—and how—they wanted to live, carefully designing a life that would support healing, peace, and longevity. Together, they discuss the realities of planning an international move when health is a major consideration, redefining success after decades of entrepreneurship and military service, and embracing a slower pace of life that has transformed their daily experience. This isn't just another story about moving abroad. It's a conversation about choosing yourself, honoring your wellbeing, and discovering that sometimes the greatest transformation isn't found in a new passport—it's found in finally creating a life that feels like your own. If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to reinvent your life, this episode may change the way you think about what's possible.
