You Don't Have To Build
Your Exit Alone
The Bougie Expat Collective small group gives you the structure of the roadmap with the added benefit of building alongside women who are making many of the same decisions you are.
Over these four months, you'll learn not only from your own questions and discoveries, but from the conversations, considerations and perspectives that emerge in the room.
Sometimes another woman's question will uncover something you hadn't considered.
Sometimes watching her work through a decision will help you make your own.
And sometimes there is simply value in being in a room with women who understand why this move matters to you.
What are you going to do with
what you discovered?
You can leave the masterclass with your notes and continue putting the pieces together on your own.
Or you can take what you started here and spend the next four months turning it into your personal relocation roadmap.
That's what we do inside:
The Elevated Exit Roadmap™
A Four-Month Facilitated Relocation Experience
What Are You Investing In?
You're not investing in more information about moving abroad.
You've already started gathering information.
You're investing in turning what you know into decisions and those decisions into a plan.
Over four months, we're going to help you answer:
• What exactly am I creating in this next chapter?
• What will my lifestyle actually cost?
• Can my current income support and sustain it?
• If there's a gap, how do I begin closing it?
• If there isn't a gap, how do I protect my lifestyle against rising costs and inflation?
• Which country best supports the life I'm creating?
• Which visa pathway may work for me?
• What tax questions need to be answered?
• Where should I live?
• What needs to happen with my life in the United States?
• What needs to happen between today and my move date?
And we're going to put those answers into one roadmap.
Your Four-Month Experience
8 Facilitated Sessions
We meet every other week for four months.
These aren't webinars.
Each session is designed to help you make a decision, complete another part of your plan, and move your relocation forward.
Between sessions, you'll complete your Bougie Action Steps™.
You'll bring your discoveries back into the room.
Together we'll:
• Review what you found
• Work through questions
• Identify blind spots
• Challenge assumptions
• Make decisions
• Determine your next action
The Action Steps aren't homework.
The Action Steps ARE your relocation.
Every piece of work you complete becomes another part of your final roadmap.
Month 1
Your Next Chapter
Before choosing where you're going, we're going deeper into how you want to live.
Session 1
Give Yourself Permission
We'll work through:
• Your real reason for relocating
• What you're moving toward
• Family responsibilities and expectations
• Fear and uncertainty
• What you're ready to release
• What you've postponed
• Who you're becoming
• What you want this next chapter to give you
You'll Experience:
A deeper conversation about the woman making the move, not simply the logistics of moving her
You'll Learn:
How to distinguish what you genuinely want from decisions being driven by fear, obligation or other people's expectations.
You'll Leave With:
Your Next Chapter Reflection™
And greater clarity about why you're moving and what you're moving toward.
Session 2
Design Your Life Abroad
A guided opportunity to step out of logistics and imagine what your life abroad actually looks and feels like.
You'll move beyond choosing a country based on cost of living, weather or what other expats recommend and begin designing your ordinary life abroad.
• Where do you wake up?
• How do you spend your mornings?
• Who is part of your community?
• How much are you working, resting, traveling or exploring?
• What does wellness look like?
• What brings you joy?
• What makes this life feel like an upgrade rather than simply a change of address?
You'll begin seeing your relocation through the lens of the life you want to live every day.
You'll Learn:
How to evaluate a destination based on whether it supports the life you want to live.
You'll Leave With:
Your Next Chapter Blueprint™
You'll have a clearer picture of the life you're creating and what your future location needs to provide to support it.
Month 2
Financial Readiness, Income and Long Term Sustainability
Build the financial foundation that can support your life abroad, not simply get you there.
Relocation changes your financial picture.
Your housing may change. Your healthcare may change. Your taxes may change. Your income may change. And the money that comfortably supports you today still needs to support the woman you are five, ten and twenty years from now.
This month, we connect the lifestyle you designed in Month 1 to the financial resources required to sustain it.
Session 3
Financial Readiness and Sustainability Audit
We'll examine:
• Current and projected income
• Savings and liquidity
• Investments
• Pensions
• Social Security
• Debt
• Property obligations
• Healthcare
• Emergency reserves
• U.S. expenses
• Family financial responsibilities
• Projected expenses abroad
• Inflation
• Currency considerations
• Long-term lifestyle sustainability
You'll Experience:
A guided look at your real financial picture without judgment and without relying on someone else's definition of what it costs to live abroad.
Instead of starting with a generic cost of living number, we'll start with the life you designed in Month 1 and begin putting numbers behind it.
You'll see how your income, assets, obligations and desired lifestyle fit together and where something may need to change before you move.
What You'll Learn:
Where you're financially strong, where vulnerabilities may exist and whether your current financial resources can support the lifestyle you're planning.
You'll Leave With:
Your Financial Readiness & Sustainability Snapshot™
You'll know:
• What you have.
• What your lifestyle requires.
• What obligations are coming with you.
• Whether your reliable income supports that lifestyle.
• And what needs attention before you relocate.
Session 4
Your Income or Sustainability Strategy
Not every woman entering this program has the same financial challenge.
Some need more income.
Others already have enough income but need to make sure it remains enough.
We'll determine which path applies to you.
Path 1: If you have an income gap
We'll identify the difference between your reliable income and what your desired lifestyle requires.
Then we'll explore potential income opportunities that fit your experience, skills, capacity, and relocation timeline.
That may include:
• Consulting
• Remote work
• Entrepreneurship
• Rental income
• Digital income
• Investments
• Other portable income opportunities
Path 2: If your income already supports your lifestyle
Then the conversation becomes:
How do we strengthen and protect it?
We'll examine:
• Income diversification
• Inflation
• Investment income
• Rental income
• Liquidity
• Emergency reserves
• Currency exposure
• Rising healthcare and housing costs
• Dependence on pensions or Social Security
• Lifestyle flexibility
• Additional income before you need it
What You'll Experience:
A shift from simply asking “Do I have enough money?” to understanding what your money needs to do for you over time.
If you have a gap, you'll begin looking at realistic ways to close it.
If you don't have a gap, you'll begin identifying what could threaten your financial comfort later and what you can strengthen now.
You'll Leave With:
Your Bougie Financial Relocation & Sustainability Plan™
You'll leave Month 2 knowing:
• What your desired lifestyle may cost
• How your current resources support it
• Whether an income gap exists
• What could affect your financial comfort over time
• What financial strategies deserve your attention now
Month 3
Country and Visa Selection
Match the life you've designed and the finances you've established with a destination where both can work.
By this point, we're no longer choosing a country because it's beautiful, inexpensive or popular with expats.
You have criteria.
You know more about how you want to live.
You understand more about your financial picture.
Now we use that information to narrow your destination and understand what it will take to legally live there.
Session 5
Country Match & Real Cost of Living
We'll compare your strongest destination options based on:
• Housing
• Healthcare
• Transportation
• Community
• Climate
• Infrastructure
• Language
• Cultural fit
• Accessibility to family
• Lifestyle
• Your real cost of living
What You'll Experience:
A more strategic way of looking at countries.
Instead of collecting more destinations, you'll begin eliminating the ones that don't support the life you've already said you want.
We'll compare what looks good on paper with what actually matters in your everyday life.
A country may be affordable but lack the healthcare you want.
A beautiful beach town may leave you isolated.
A major city may offer community but push your housing budget beyond what you planned.
You'll Learn:
How to evaluate a country as a resident rather than a tourist.
You'll learn how to weigh lifestyle, financial and practical considerations together instead of allowing one attractive feature to drive the entire decision.
You'll Leave With:
Your Country Match & Cost of Living Comparison™
You'll narrow your options to the destination or destinations that most closely support your lifestyle, finances and priorities.
Session 6
Visa Pathway & Relocation Feasibility
Once we know where you may want to live, we need to determine whether and how you can legally build a life there.
We'll explore:
• Potential visa and residency pathways
• Financial qualifications
• Income requirements
• Age or retirement requirements where applicable
• Documentation
• Application timelines
• Work and income considerations
• Residency requirements
• Important tax considerations
• Questions requiring professional guidance
What You'll Experience:
The point where your preferred destination meets its real requirements.
You'll begin understanding how your visa choice can affect more than residency.
It may affect how you earn income, whether you can work locally, what financial documentation you'll need, how much preparation time you need and other decisions surrounding your move.
Instead of treating the visa as paperwork to handle later, we'll look at it as part of your overall relocation strategy.
You'll Learn:
Which potential residency pathways align with your circumstances and what requirements could influence your financial, income or relocation strategy.
You'll also identify where you need guidance from an immigration, tax or other qualified professional before making a final decision.
You'll Leave With:
Your Country, Visa & Tax Strategy™
You'll leave Month 3 with:
• A preferred destination or shortlist
• Potential residency pathway
• Expected financial requirements
• Realistic cost of living expectations
• Important documentation and timeline considerations
• Professional questions that still need answers
Month 4
Preparing For Departure & Your Soft Landing
Turn your relocation strategy into the practical decisions, protections and timeline that prepare you to leave well and arrive with greater confidence.
You've designed the life.
You've examined the money.
You've narrowed the country.
You've explored your visa pathway.
Now we begin organizing what needs to happen between where you are today and your first months living abroad.
This month is about reducing the number of decisions you'll be forced to make under pressure later.
Session 7
Housing, Safety & Your Soft Landing
We'll work through:
• Neighborhood selection
• Rent versus buy
• Furnished versus unfurnished
• Walkability
• Transportation
• Healthcare access
• Community
• Housing risks
• Personal safety
• Emergency planning
• Identity-based safety considerations
• Your first 30 to 90 days
What You'll Experience:
A shift from searching for a beautiful apartment to thinking about how you actually need your new environment to function.
• We'll look at housing as part of your larger lifestyle.
• Where will you get groceries?
• How will you get around?
• How close are you to healthcare?
• Will you feel comfortable coming home at night?
• Where will you meet people?
• What happens if you don't like your first neighborhood?
• You'll begin thinking about your first home abroad as part of your soft landing strategy, not necessarily your forever home.
You'll Learn:
How to evaluate neighborhoods and housing based on lifestyle, accessibility, safety, community and financial fit rather than photographs and rental prices alone.
You'll Leave With:
Your Housing Strategy™
and
Your Personal Safety & Risk Profile™
You'll identify the characteristics your neighborhood needs and begin narrowing the areas that deserve deeper research.
Session 8
Your Relocation Execution Plan
This is where all the pieces come together.
We'll organize:
• Packing
• Selling
• Shipping
• Storage
• Important documents
• Medical records
• Medication
• Banking
• Technology
• Phone service
• Emergency access to money
• Property and household decisions
• Travel arrangements
• Arrival logistics
• Your relocation timeline
What You'll Experience:
The move coming out of your head and onto a timeline.
Instead of one enormous list called “Move Abroad,” you'll begin seeing what actually needs to happen first, what can wait and what doesn't need your attention yet.
That distinction matters.
Because relocation becomes overwhelming when everything feels urgent at the same time.
What You'll Learn:
How to sequence your relocation so you're working on the right decisions at the right time.
You'll identify what needs to happen now, what belongs 90 days before departure, what belongs closer to the move and what can happen after you arrive.
You'll Leave With:
Your Packing & Logistics Checklist ™
and
Your Relocation Execution Timeline ™
You'll finish knowing what happens next and how the pieces of your relocation connect.
At The End of Four Months
You'll have your Bougie Relocation Book™
You won't simply know more about moving abroad.
You'll have organized your move.
You'll have clarity around the life you're creating.
You'll understand the financial structure supporting it.
You'll have narrowed where that life can work.
You'll understand your potential visa pathway.
You'll have a strategy for housing and your soft landing.
And you'll have a timeline telling you what happens next.
Your move may still be months away.
But it will no longer be sitting in your head as one big idea.
It will be a plan you can execute.

Why Continue Now?
You have momentum right now.
For two days, you've been thinking differently about your next chapter.
You've uncovered questions.
You've probably identified things that need attention.
Maybe you've even realized that something you thought you had figured out isn't quite as settled as you thought.
This is where many women stop.
The notebook closes.
Monday comes.
Work starts.
Family needs something.
Life gets busy.
And the relocation that felt so important this weekend slowly moves back to the bottom of the list.
That's the gap the Elevated Exit Roadmap™ is designed to close.
You don't need to move next month.
You need to keep moving toward the move.
Starting now gives you time to:
Strengthen your finances
Develop income if needed
Create financial sustainability
Test your country decision
Understand visa requirements
Get professional questions answered
Prepare property
Make housing decisions
Gather documents
And adjust your plan without panic.
The advantage of starting now isn't that you have to move sooner.
It's that you don't have to rush later.
You'll Have Expertise in the Room
Bougie Expat Experts in Residence™
You'll have access to professionals in areas such as:
• International & Expat Tax
• Financial Planning & Strategy
• Real Estate
They provide education and general guidance to help you understand what may affect your relocation and what questions you need to ask.
You don't need to become the expert.
You need enough knowledge to know when you need an expert sitting at the table.
Your Investment
The standard investment for the Elevated Exit Roadmap™ is:
$2,500
Because you've completed the 2 Day Elevated Exit Masterclass, you have an opportunity to continue the work you started with us today.
Your Paid in Full Investment
$2,000
You save $500 compared with the payment plan.
3-Month Payment Plan
$850 Today
followed by
2-Monthly Payments of $850
Total Payment Plan Investment: $2,550
Your first $850 payment secures your place and allows you to continue directly into the Elevated Exit Roadmap™.
So The Question Isn't:
"Do I want to move abroad?"
You answered that before you got here.
And after these two days, you probably know even more about what that decision will require.
The question in front of you now is:
"How do I want to go there?"
You can leave today and continue figuring out each piece as it comes.
Or you can spend the next four months building the roadmap that guides the months ahead.
You don't need to know everything today.
You need to know what you're doing next.
