The Apartment We Almost Bought (And Why My Body Said No)

We almost bought an apartment in Tuscany.

It was charming, affordable, and close enough to our dream of moving back to Italy that it was easy to picture ourselves saying yes. But while my mind was focused on timelines and possibilities, my body was sending a very different message.

In this episode, I share why Stefano and I walked away from the apartment we almost bought in Radicondoli—and what that decision revealed about urgency, fear, scarcity, and learning to trust myself again.

Because moving to Italy is not only about finding the right property. It is about creating a life that feels safe, intentional, slow, and truly ours.
