Our Next Chapter in Spain – Hybrid Retirement Lifestyle (And What It Really Means to Live Free)
We hope you’re having a beautiful weekend…
Ours has been lovely—albeit a little hectic—as we prepare for our next adventure
Because right now, we’re in one of those moments in life where everything seems to be shifting at once
Our Last Sunday in Duquesa
We’ve just celebrated our final Sunday in Duquesa on the Costa del Sol…
Packing boxes, cleaning, walking our much-loved beach, lunch with a glass of bubbles
And sitting on our terrace, taking in the views we fell in love with all those years ago
It felt emotional
But also exciting
Because this isn’t an ending
It’s a transition
Next week we’ll be flying back from Paris
And the following Sunday, we begin a five-hour drive to our new home in Almería
A new chapter, a new rhythm…
A new version of the lifestyle we’ve been creating
What Keeps Us Moving Forward
One of our recent posts sparked a lot of engagement…
And it made us reflect on something we’re often asked:
What keeps you motivated?
The truth is it’s not motivation in the way most people think
It’s a decision
A decision not to let fear or doubt stop us
That doesn’t mean we don’t feel it
We do
But we’ve learned to move forward anyway
Because you really do only get one life
And we want to live it fully
New Beginnings Are Always Available
This past week has also been filled with paperwork…
(And yes, Spain does love its bureaucracy!)
But beneath all of that is something deeper
Excitement
Because we’ve been here before
A year ago, we officially began our residency in Spain
Two years ago, we packed our bags and started again
And it’s a reminder we come back to often
You are never too late to begin again
A new business
A new direction
A move to another country
A completely new chapter
It’s all possible if you decide it is
Why Community and Coaching Matter More Than Ever
One of the things we’ve really missed these past couple of weeks is our weekly coaching calls
Inside the Home Business Academy, we connect with people from all walks of life…
All building something of their own
All learning, growing, and supporting each other
And what stands out every time is this
You don’t have to figure it all out alone
There’s something powerful about being around people who are doing what you want to do…
Learning directly from those getting results…
And having a place where you can ask questions, gain clarity, and keep moving forward
Paris… and What’s Next
This week, we’re heading to Paris
We’ll be spending time with a good friend we’ve known since 2020, when we were working alongside mentors like Dean Graziosi and Tony Robbins
We’ll be learning, refining, and expanding what we’re doing
And honestly we can’t wait.
It feels like one of those moments where something shifts again
We’ll share more as it unfolds so sit tight and follow our blog as we reveal all
From Vision Board to Reality
Right after Paris, things move quickly
We complete the sale of our apartment
The movers arrive
And then we head across to Almería…
To a home we’ve had on our vision board since last August
That still feels a little surreal
But it also reinforces something we truly believe
This lifestyle isn’t luck
It’s built step by step
Decision by decision
Sometimes with uncertainty – but always with intention
What a Hybrid Retirement Lifestyle Really Means
For us, this isn’t about “retirement” in the traditional sense
It’s about creating a life where
- You have flexibility with your time
- You continue to grow and contribute
- You generate income in a way that supports your lifestyle
- And you actually enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build
We call it a Hybrid Retirement Lifestyle
And it’s available to more people than ever before
If You’re Thinking About Your Next Chapter
We’re often asked how we’ve created this kind of lifestyle
And the honest answer is simple
It started with a decision to try something different
If you’re curious about what that might look like for you, these are the two platforms we personally use and recommend:
• Home Business Academy (HBA) – Learn the skills to build a simple, sustainable online income
• Amare Global – A wellness-focused business supporting mental and physical wellbeing as well as creating a sustainable income online
Both are designed to support a lifestyle of flexibility, purpose, and income… without starting over and can be started part-time
Whichever you choose (or maybe it’s something entirely different) we’re here to support and guide you
Because the best way to predict the future is to create it
Final Thought
If there’s something you’ve been thinking about doing…
A move
A change
A new direction…
Don’t wait for perfect timing
It rarely shows up
Start where you are
That’s all we ever did
Over to you…
