About this episode
At the age of 51, Patricia Brooks had a well paying corporate job in Richmond, Virginia but there seemed to be something missing in her life. She yearned to live in a French speaking country. As someone who was a painfully shy child and still considered herself an introvert, she surprised many, including herself, by moving to the South of France. A few years later, Patricia is living in Ceret, France and loving it. Find out more about Patricia’s courageous move to France on Episode 178 of Retire There with Gil & Gene.
Patricia Brooks, founder of The Courage Catalyst, is an Expat Empowerment Coach helping women move abroad confidently and sustainably. Check out Patricia’s informative and funny YouTube Channel about living in France. She is also the author of two books: Live a Bold Life: Your 30-Day Mission to a Fearless Future and Growing Bold: How to Overcome Fear, Build Confidence, and Love the Life You Live.
