Hey Dreamers!
To honor the mental health awareness month, in this episode, I interviewed Gabriela Encina, a licensed psychologist who specializes in helping expat women discover themselves and their happiness in a new country.
Gabriela was born and raised in Chile, and after working in Chile for 10 years, she moved to Austria and lived there for 8 years. In 2017, she moved to Spain and she’s based in Valencia, Spain.
Gabriela brings 20+ years of experience as a psychologist she has helped more than 300 expat women from all around the world. If you’re an expat woman, an immigrant, and a newcomer in a new country, I am certain you’ll resonate with many things that we discussed in this episode. Please enjoy!
