I Cancelled My Trip

Because my astrocartography map told me to
It was time for some much needed time off.
Fellow solo business owners here will recognise this:
No one tells you it’s time for a holiday.
It’s up to your discipline to make your business succeed, just like it’s up to your discipline to know when it’s time for a break.
I just completed a major rebranding and successfully launched my new signature offer, The Bold Move (wow).
It was time.
And so obviously I pulled up my own map to brainstorm where to go.
Spoiler alert, my chosen destination might surprise you, while also being the most logical thing in the world.
Your type of holiday
The last few years I’ve been hustling to build a business from scratch, while traveling the world looking for that place to call home.
I finally used my own Relocation Alignment Framework to land in Portugal, a place that brings me ease like no where else.
It is the solid base that calms me down so I can focus on my goals.
When it comes to holidays, always trust your intuition.
What do you NEED right now?
Some holidays are for exhilarating activities like snowboarding down the slopes, some are for self-development like an immersive retreat, and others are for relaxation accompanied by good food and loved ones.
For me it was clear.
I needed the latter. I needed to calm the heck down.
So, as proven by my map, and highly confirmed by my intuition... I stayed at home.
Yeah yeah, that might seem like such an anticlimax. I get it.
But here’s the thing I realised
I have made my Bold Move.
I found a place that makes my body settle. My heart happy. My mind calm.
How insanely beautiful is that?!
I invited my parents over to proudly show them the life I have created here.
And they saw it. They finally understood why I moved to this random little fisherman’s town on the edge of the Atlantic.
So together we enjoyed surfing the Portuguese waves, drank local wines, and spent true quality time.
Now that my batteries are recharged, surely my next holiday will entail discovering new lines, new cultures, new landscapes.
But for now, this was exactly what I needed.
Here’s what I learned this holiday
We often live in places that feel hard because we feel like it’s what is needed to succeed.
Then we go on holiday to our favorite destination and we can finally relax.
I’m here to switch that perspective.
Bringing some truth to the cringy cliché: “I live where you vacation”.
Instead though, it’s about: I live where I feel AMAZING.
I live where work-life balance comes naturally to me.
I live where my body feels at ease.
That doesn’t mean we can’t hustle. It means we can do so from a place of grounding and balance.
The results we put out? 100x better.
If you’re ready to understand...
✨ What has been keeping you stuck
✨ Why you keep returning to the same holiday destination
✨ What place would enhance your work-life balance
Now is the perfect time to explore your astrocartography map.
Use the heat and positivity of the summer to envision your wildest dreams.
I’ll help you make them a reality! 🌞

Hi, I’m Annabel 🤍 I’m an astrocartographer on a mission to help business owners relocate with trust and confidence, to build a life that actually works.
I’m a big believer in bold moves, especially the ones that take you across borders in search of a life that actually fits.
Having been in that position myself, I used astrocartography to find and relocate to my dream home in Portugal.
Moving abroad (or locally) is a major life decision, that is so much more than just the logistics. So I’m here to take you from overwhelmed to confident.
