In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing what life really looks like four months into our move to Mexico as a family of four. I'm hustling, navigating new routines, and learning what it means to be truly present with my family in a culture that prioritizes connection over constant productivity.

I also get vulnerable about the guilt I feel seeing my community struggle back in the US, the unexpected ways my body is adjusting to a new altitude and climate, and why I'm obsessed with how involved Mexican parents are in their kids' education. I'm also sharing what it's like to experience my first Navidad season in Mexico and how having five hours to myself in the mornings has completely transformed my mental health.

• Why moving outside the US might be the reset your family needs right now

In this episode of the "Living in Mexico" series, I'm sitting down with my husband to talk about something so many of you have been asking about - how to get dual citizenship in Mexico!

This has been our most-asked question since we shared our own journey to becoming dual citizens earlier this year. I'm walking you through our very different experiences. We're also getting real about the process, the paperwork mishaps, the differences between doing this in Mexico versus at the consulate, and why reclaiming this part of our heritage has been so meaningful for our family.
