What is it really like to retire in Mexico as a single woman? For Alicia, the journey is about much more than choosing a new destination. It's about overcoming fear, finding authentic community, and giving herself permission to create a life without regret.
In this episode of Retirement in Mexico - Live by Design, host Taniel Chemsian sits down with Alicia, a self-described nomad who has lived in multiple parts of the United States and is now preparing for her next chapter in Mexico. Together, they explore the emotional and practical realities of moving abroad alone and why Mexico has become the destination where Alicia wants to build her retirement.
Alicia shares how seeing other people take the leap inspired her to reconsider what was possible for her own life. She talks openly about the fears that can hold us back, the importance of finding meaningful community, and how moving to Mexico has influenced the way she thinks about health, family, freedom, and the future.
The conversation also explores why starting over doesn't have to mean starting from scratch. For Alicia, retirement in Mexico represents an opportunity to break free from routine, build new connections, embrace adventure, and live with fewer regrets.
